Thank you again to all of our employees as we continue celebrating Employee Appreciation Day! You can never shine a spotlight on these people for too long. Their hard work and dedication are truly admired and respected. Official Title at Brand Focus Digital and Responsibilities Vice President. I am actually the former owner of Lift Sales & Marketing, which was a business that helped manufacturers utilize eCommerce platforms to drive brand awareness and increase sales through the use of diversified strategic plans and eCommerce tools. Lift Sales & Marketing merged with Brand Focus Digital in December of 2023, and I was delighted and honored to become Brand Focus Digital’s Vice President. I have worked alongside Brand Focus Digital’s CEO, Clint George, while at Amazon and have known him for decades. My current role allows me to continue to work alongside a distinguished colleague. I have been working with brands selling on Amazon for over a decade and each brand has different goals, directives, and strategies. Working with multiple brands allows me to utilize learnings from one brand and apply to others based on their KPIs and budget. I love helping to educate brands on eCommerce and creating strategies to best support growth. Why I Like Working for Brand Focus Digital I love working with our team at Brand Focus Digital because everyone has a great attitude toward each other, which is tremendous given our remote work.

Our spotlight continues to focus on our amazing employees as we proceed in our several month celebration of March’s Employee Appreciation Day. Please take a moment and meet our super skilled Manager of Business Management, Jeff Fisher. Jeff is an integral component to our amazing team! Please contact Brand Focus Digital today and let us assist with your eCommerce needs. Official Title at Brand Focus Digital and Responsibilities At Brand Focus Digital, I’m the Manager of Business Management. Like the other business managers on our team, I manage several of our client accounts. This means I do everything possible to help the brand succeed on Amazon, including providing support for operations, catalog management, sales and promotions, and advertising. In addition to these tasks, I provide support to the rest of our business management team. This looks like one-on-one support and team coaching, but it also involves acquiring tools and establishing best practices to ensure that our company continues to provide industry-leading services to our clients. Why I Like Working for Brand Focus Digital Prior to working at BFD, I worked for a larger sales and marketing company. The size and structure of the company presented significant challenges, particularly with regard to client relations and collegiality between employees. Our team at BFD is small (I prefer sleek and nimble), which is great as it allows us to develop strong relationships with each other. Additionally, a smaller size gives us the flexibility to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Moreover, it allows for a lot more creativity and freedom in how we approach issues that inevitably arise when working with Amazon. The bonus of doing that work for people you have genuine relationships with is rewarding. Employment History and Education Prior to my employment at Brand Focus Digital, I worked for several years on the operations team for the eCommerce division of Acosta Sales and Marketing. This gave me a solid foundation for learning the technical side of the business, and helped me learn all the tricks for combating the myriad issues that arise on Amazon’s back end. I have a bachelor’s degree in History from the University of Washington, as well as a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary. I bet you weren’t expecting that combination. Fun Fact About Me I’m a guitar player, singer, and songwriter. I lead the music program most Sundays at my church in downtown Seattle. I also recently became a Little League baseball coach for the first time, which is going okay.

Please take a moment to meet our Senior Catalog Manager, J’son Cox. J’son has been with Brand Focus Digital for over four years. He is a talented and experienced member of a high caliber eCommerce team, which we are setting aside a few months to honor in light of this month’s Employee Appreciation Day. Brand Focus Digital attributes its success to our family of talented employees. Official Title at Brand Focus Digital and Responsibilities As Senior Catalog Manager, my role is to support the team in the management of the Amazon product listings and the maintenance of their attributes in the marketplace. I am the primary subject matter expert for enhanced content on Amazon, and the go-to contact for the creation of A+ pages, videos, brand stores and brand stories. I not only work closely with the Brand Focus Digital team and our clients to produce and/or refine existing content, but also consult with them to ensure that the implementation of creatives is within Amazon’s guidelines and best practices. My goal is to help optimize the Amazon listing quality, and the quality of all customer-facing content to the fullest - ultimately boosting the brand’s presence in multiple spaces within the marketplace. Why I Like Working for Brand Focus Digital Working with a small and efficient team provides us with a unique opportunity for great communication and in-house knowledge sharing. Reaching out to the nearest SME has been made easier than ever. After being employed by much larger corporations, I especially appreciate the availability and candor from our leadership, which is not found in the typical workspace. Employment History and Education I graduated from The Art Institute of Seattle with a Degree in Graphic Design and Illustration. After a brief stint of mostly freelance artwork, I spent 8 years as an SEO specialist for a Fortune 500 company, optimizing websites for the auto industry between the US, Canada, and Australia. I spent the last 6 years managing sellers on Amazon – the first couple years setting up accounts, advertising, providing reporting and implementing creative content between the Toy and Pet Supply category. Since then, I’ve been doing the same, primarily for the Grocery category, managing the content and catalogs for Amazon sellers. Fun Fact About Me I spent much of my youth on stage and at the drawing table, engaging in the arts and the performing arts. In high school I won the Division’s Outstanding Vocalist Award at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival.

In honor of our amazing team at Brand Focus Digital, we took the liberty of converting Employee Appreciation Day (March 1) into employee appreciation months. That’s right. We’re taking the months of March and April to introduce all of our skilled, talented, and passionate employees. Please take a few moments to get acquainted with one of our business managers, Chandler Ledgerwood. Official Title at Brand Focus Digital and Responsibilities Hello! I’m Chandler, an e-Commerce Business Manager with Brand Focus Digital. I have held this title for nearly 3 years! I'm the go-to person for brands selling on Amazon.

In partnership with brands, I tackle and solve the challenges of selling on Amazon and help companies meet their sales goals. If you want to take your brand to the next level on Amazon, I've got your back every step of the way. Why I Like Working for Brand Focus Digital Working at Brand Focus Digital is great because our team is small, which means we can focus on vendors who align with our values and goals. This only makes our partnerships stronger. Plus, being able to work remotely is a huge perk for me. I love being able to set up my own workspace and manage my time in a way that works best for me (and my clients). It gives me the freedom to balance work and life without having to commute or deal with office distractions. Employment History and Education I come equipped with Amazon experience from my previous agency, where I honed my skills in managing Amazon accounts. Additionally, I hold a bachelor's degree from Central Washington University, where I studied IT and Business Administrative Management. I also earned a minor in Administration. This combination of hands-on experience and academic background provides me with a solid foundation to excel in managing brands on Amazon effectively. Fun Fact About Me I am a passionate cook!
