Lauren – Brand Ambassador & Video Production Specialist

While I was born in Texas, I lived on Oahu for eight years and graduated from Leilehua High School. I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications with a minor in Multimedia Cinematic Productions from Hawaii Pacific University (HPU). While attending college, I had the privilege of holding two positions at 6 Pillars Marketing (6PM).

After meeting a 6PM employee at a career fair, I had my eye on the video side of the agency since it aligned well with my major and minor at HPU. However, there were no openings for video at that time, so I began as a Brand Ambassador. After working as Brand Ambassador for a year, I began working on videos and was later able to focus exclusively on video production.

As a Brand Ambassador, I was responsible for promoting established brands, such as P&G, to store customers by providing them knowledgeable insight through facts, samples and hands-on activities. I loved to create my own schedule and have the ability to work on different parts of Oahu. I enjoyed learning about the products I was promoting and seeing customers smile when they received a sample and when they learned something new about a product I was promoting.

As a Video Production Specialist, my duties included that of video editor and camera operator. I was able to create video content for various high-profile clients, interacting with them to ensure their businesses were properly represented. I loved having the chance to work with the 6PM team and their clients to tell someone’s story. My favorite part was going on location to film and creating a video to highlight who they are, what they do and what they represent.

Using my Mass Communications background, I was able to create video content that stayed on brand, targeted the correct audiences and told a specific story. I also loved the flexibility of editing, as I could manage the work well around my studies. Working with the team from pre-production, production and post production was a great experience for me.

While at 6PM, I was also able to grow my confidence when it came to speaking with clients and customers, as I was normally on site by myself and I had to interact with them one-on-one. However, the 6PM staff was always there to lend a hand whenever needed. It truly was a team effort.

I strongly recommend 6PM as a great place to work. There are so many opportunities for growth and the small team at 6PM is always willing to provide assistance, give advice and work with you to get the job done.

Kristi – Senior Account Executive

With a background rooted in Honolulu, Hawaii, I received my bachelor’s degree in Marketing from the University of Hawaii at Manoa Shidler College of Business. After interning at Walt Disney World for a semester and graduating with my marketing degree, I was excited to apply for a position at 6 Pillars Marketing. I was welcomed into their ‘ohana with open arms as an entry-level Account Executive.

As an Account Executive I took on a wide range of responsibilities including social media, digital marketing, public relations, advertising, special events, and so much more. My responsibilities grew as I was promoted to the role of Senior Account Executive. With this promotion, I was able to expand in the areas of leadership and management, as I supervised and coordinated campaigns and projects. I also frequently met with each of our client accounts and assisted in planning and executing marketing strategies to fulfil their wants and needs. I thoroughly enjoyed working with and getting to know each of our clients. Being born and raised in Hawaii allowed me to connect with our clients and their brands on a personal level and execute exceptional marketing strategies to boost their business, service, or calling.

Working with a team like 6 Pillars Marketing has been an experience that I will cherish forever. I considered each of my colleagues to be family, and I knew that together we would be able to deliver the work and service that continue to keep our clients happy. My time with such a great company has provided me with the experience I needed to further my career. I would not be where I am today, working for The Walt Disney Company, without the skills and business practices learned at 6 Pillars Marketing. I am extremely grateful for to management team for being a great mentor and supporter throughout my professional career.

I highly recommend the services of 6 Pillars Marketing to any business, service, or entity. I know that any client of 6 Pillars Marketing will be well taken care of and pleased with the service of such a passionate team.

Marina – Assistant Account Coordinator

I’ve been very fortunate to have been provided the opportunity to work at 6 Pillars Marketing, which started as a Brand Ambassador which then led me to a promotion to Assistant Account Coordinator.

Upon graduation from McKinley High School and starting my freshman year at University of Hawaii at Manoa, I entered college aspiring to be accepted into the Shidler College of Business. With a major in Marketing, I knew that finding a job with a local marketing agency was the way to go if I were to gain the essential skills and work experience on my path to my career success. I did not want to just be involved with any marketing agency. I wanted to work for a local marketing company that was established in Honolulu, because I felt they would show the “Aloha” culture in their work and that is exactly what 6 Pillars Marketing showed me.

I began my journey with 6PM working as a Brand Ambassador promoting global household brands such as Olay, Tide, Pantene, Crest, Gillette and more. I enjoyed interacting with consumers and educating them through marketing efforts. Working as a Brand Ambassador allowed me to represent our clients in a positive way and gain first hand experience in marketing.

While working as a Brand Ambassador, I was offered a promotion to work as an Assistant Account Coordinator, assisting my colleagues with tasks including social media, events, and special projects. I attended meetings with our clients, which allowed me to gain a better understanding of the 6 pillars of marketing, including strategies.

This experience with 6 Pillars Marketing provided me such an amazing experience and opportunity to expand my knowledge as a marketing student. Working with this agency definitely equipped me with skills that are necessary to both gain hands on experience plus a positive learning experience, as well. I’ve developed a close relationship working alongside my coworkers, making the office environment a fun and productive workplace.

My journey with 6 Pillars Marketing has taught me so much. If you are a college student or seeking a job in marketing, I would highly recommend looking into 6 Pillars Marketing.

Roxy – Account Executive

I was born and raised in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii and upon graduation from Punahou Schools, I attended Claremont McKenna College and graduated with a degree in Biochemistry. I  returned home to find that although there were many interesting career opportunities, I was still unsure what career I wanted to pursue.

I decided to join 6 Pillars Marketing as a part time Brand Ambassador, representing various global brands, promoting their products throughout the island of Oahu. Assisting at special events gave me an understanding of the many moving pieces needed to coordinate a successful and memorable event. These experiences encouraged me to become more outgoing and grew my confidence in communicating effectively.

After learning about marketing as a Brand Ambassador, I was offered a promotion to Account Executive in business development where I gained an appreciation of how each of the company’s 6 pillars represented a unique, yet integral function in business.  6 Pillars Marketing tailored each of the 6 pillars to accommodate client growth, sales and brand identity. My responsibilities included internal projects, writing proposals, and representing our company in various organizations to build a strong professional network which engaged with our local community throughout Honolulu. Working at 6 Pillars Marketing allowed me to gain critical marketing knowledge and better my ability to design creative sales & marketing solutions for our clients.

6 Pillars Marketing encouraged independent work in a collaborative culture. Although each pillar had its own strength and craft, the true synergy came from working together to execute marketing campaigns. I am inspired by the strong work ethic of my coworkers and their dedication to their clients. The experience and skills I have today are from the amazing opportunities and support from the 6 Pillars Marketing team. The management team and coworkers have helped me grow both professionally and personally, and I am truly thankful for the lifelong connections and learning opportunities.
