I’m a marketing leader who lives at the intersection of strategy and storytelling. I love helping brands find their voice, tell their story, and truly connect with the people who matter most. I’ve led cross-functional teams on both the brand and agency sides — building brands from the ground up, bringing live events and activations to life, and shaping campaigns that spark real engagement. At my core, I’m one part strategist, one part storyteller, and one part team leader. I believe the best marketing doesn’t just grab attention — it builds relationships, inspires action, and leaves a lasting impression. Clients and partners include Metropolis magazine, DYAD Designs, Herman Miller, Univision, Margaritaville, Steelcase, Adobe, Fast Company, MGM Studios, Coca-Cola, Proximo Spirits (Jose Cuervo, The Kraken Rum, Three Olives Vodka, 1800 Tequila, Bushmills Whiskey), Discovery Channel, Mattress Firm, EBSCO, Panasonic, Litton Entertainment, Nike, HSBC Bank, WNET, Comcast NBCUniversal, Samsung, and more.

Hi👋, I’m looking forward to connecting with you! Building people-first organizations is my lifeblood. I care deeply about the employee experience because I've witnessed firsthand how it can foster a supportive workplace at all levels and contribute to successful business outcomes. Plain and simple — I care about people and love operations! Here’s a bit more about me and my background. 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 🚀 I jumped into creative advertising, where I got to work with incredibly talented individuals and be a part of building award-winning creative campaigns. Collaborating with art directors, writers, and producers, I had to develop effective talent-resourcing plans with tight production deadlines and budget constraints while supporting project delivery. I learned the importance of cultivating a strong team dynamic. 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 🫶 Creative Operations opened the door to People Operations, where I made a big impact on teams. My roles at Odopod as Manager of Studio Culture and later as Director of Operations & Culture allowed me to shape the workplace environment as the company expanded. During an acquisition by Publicis Groupe, I led transition initiatives and gained experience in human resources, benefits, communications, reorganization, global rebranding, and technology integrations. My work earned the highest company award (The Bird Trophy🐦‍⬛) for going above and beyond. (thanks Odopeeps ♥️) 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 📊 At Brainrider as the Director of Creative Operations, I had the privilege of leading and expanding the contingent workforce service for their largest client, Meta. That success led to a promotion to VP and then to the COO role, overseeing global teams, strategic business planning, and the entire client portfolio, including Lyft, Indeed, Coinbase, and others. I supported 150+ employees in 3 countries while improving employee retention and happiness ratings. I also streamlined processes and increased revenues by creating a flexible resourcing model. 𝐋𝐄𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊 📲 If you want to chat with a passionate operations leader who can bridge the gaps between people, productivity, and performance, I’d love to connect! Outside of work, spending time outdoors with my family and my senior mutts 🐶🐶, and taking my favorite group classes at Corepower and OrangeTheory keeps me happy. Let’s talk, Amanda

Auth to work in USA (American citizen) and EU (legal resident of Italy). Open to remote work anywhere. Will consider hybrid work around the EU. Why isn't FAANG on my resume? FAANG companies tried to recruit me, but I declined; difficult to find a Facebook, Meta, Apple, Google, or Amazon job that aligns with my ethics. ***LI loves to not show my posts to people. You can follow me here, but if you want to see something I post or announce, please follow me elsewhere! CX/UX links at dcx.to. LifeAfterTech.info Resources page for those links. Free Discord communities, mailing list, plenty of non-algo ways to connect. How fast does your company need to change? Improve customer and user experiences? Achieve business goals? More efficiently, less risk, less waste? FAST, right? That's my specialty. I'm a problem-finder and problem-solver who starts getting it done within weeks of being hired. Clients gave me the nickname "Mary Poppins" because I fly in, fix everything I can, and sing a few songs. I can make a 1-yr plan, 2-yr plan, etc., but we also need to be Agile. That plan is probably going to change as we change and evolve. I go into jobs knowing that sometimes, I only have 3-12 months there, and I can be cut early if I'm not making the changes that are expected. These companies expect problems to be understood and fixed. They expect UX teams to be changed, improved, and fixed. They expect bad relationships between departments to be fixed. They expect strategy where there wasn't any. They expect standards, process, and quality where it was inconsistent on a good day. And they expect it within weeks of me starting. I can make a 2-year plan, but I have to make tremendous and palpable change immediately. I have to fix systems and records. I have to keep people from quitting and move them to the right job for their abilities. I have to make it a place where people want to tell people to come and work. I have to improve quality and process. I have to upskill people. I've done this many times, and I had to fix a lot of things within weeks of starting the job. How long can people wait for change? Not long. I set houses in order in record time. I'm hired to put out fires. I'm happy to make a multi-year plan and see it through. But in a world going fast, fast, fast, what can I do within weeks or a few months of being hired? Let's talk.

I'm part of a creative, proven team of industry leaders growing one the most innovative performance marketing shops out there — trusted by big brands and fast movers to pivot their models for today's consumer, to build and scale digital creative, video, social and podcast capabilities, to rebuild, rebrand and relaunch digital experiences, to deliver full service direct mail solutions, and build targeted audience segments to dramatically improve marketing performance. I know how creativity + tech can change the game for business, and improve how we live our lives. My crash course came as an early employee of AOL. I played roles across marketing, programming, partnerships and media that created an entirely new world of consumer services — and I’ve been hooked ever since on building brands and accelerating growth for companies innovating our everyday. Most recently, I've put my 20+ years of building new consumer experiences and brands to work as Managing Partner of LIFT Agency, helping both big brands and new ventures get the smarts and capabilities required for growth today. From Conde Nast, Hello Fresh and Charter Spectrum to Equinox, AAA, McAfee and more. Before that, I led market-beating growth for WebMD, the leading provider of health information in the US, championing the brand's expansion into wellness and lifestyle. Prior to WebMD, I led BabyCenter, the #1 parenting and pregnancy brand, to global leadership putting the power of digital products to work in service of consumers across 22 global markets. Now, I'm excited to work each day with a diverse array of brand leaders to help them adapt and thrive while our media and technology stage spins. I welcome the chance to connect with colleagues, customers and partners. Reach me at: fogarty@liftagency.co @fogartymp
