Improved security and partnered with the 4-star hotels that flanked either side of the property to help drive higher caliber tourist traffic into the center. Which ultimately started to attract better/credit tenants: Starbucks, Cold Stone Creamery, Paragon Theaters, Jonny Rockets. 

​

Positioned the center as “local friendly” specifically through event planning and marketing. Supervised production of over 50 special events ranging from wine tastings to battle of the bands – worked with tenants, outside event sponsors (Miller-Coors) and internal/external teams on all aspects of planning the events: contracting, advertising, talent selection, budgets, collateral, design (look-and-feel), and media.

​

Produced the Summer Concert Series at the iconic Daytona Beach Band Shell. Handled band selection, fireworks, and permitting, food and beverage vendors, sponsorships (Budweiser), negotiated and managed contracts with subcontractors and vendors.
