About

This is the online home of Mike Penfield.

In this changing economy, many of us have learned that the best way to survive is to change with the times! I’ve begun a new chapter in career development by tackling web design, new media exploration which includes some graphic design, video shorts production, translating brand narratives into digital marketing concepts and campaigns, learning about experience design and a slew of other new areas (for me).

With a traditional marketing and business background, I’ve gained a great deal of experience in program and project management as manager of a law practice, business development for a software company, as part of marketing, sales support, and internal/external communications teams for a fortune 500 telecommunications company, consulting, and most recently through a seat on an Advisory Board for a local innovation lab.

This most recent position has lead to an exciting focus on developing a new skill set. One of my strengths is collaboration and cross functional communications with various teams in an organization. I have liaised with sales, marketing, operations, product management, and executive communications across many platforms. In my pursuit of the skills mentioned above, I hope to augment my ability to bridge communication gaps between internal organizations and help to streamline various project completion.

I’ve been having great fun gaining a view into other specialties in the ever growing arena of all things marketing. I plan to share growth experiences that may resonate with some, help others to clarify their own journey, or cause others to disagree with energy… As I become more accomplished, I will begin creating posts of my experiences in the blog section of this site. Stay tuned.

You can find me on LinkedIn for more details about my background.
