As a native New Yorker, some of Marnie’s favorite campaigns have been during her decade at NYC & Company, the city’s tourism and marketing organization. As Managing Director, she oversaw the campaign and partnership development for programs that have become the cornerstone of NYC marketing initiatives.

Marnie’s success has been in developing strategies that have allowed for campaign growth, integrating fresh ideas and creating strategic multi-year partnerships that supported shared missions and goals, working alongside global brands from American Express, American Airlines, Sony, National Geographic, SYFY, AARP, The James Beard Foundation and many others.

Brands are her passion. Developing new ways to tell stories and gain visibility are always on her mind.

Marnie is the ultimate go to person if you need research done and forever on the hunt for the perfect home accessories.
