About Me

dallas_texas_marketing_professional.jpg

My name is Wes Wilkins, a seasoned marketing executive and creative professional based in Dallas, Texas. My professional background is varied and diverse, providing me with a breadth of experience and inspiration from which to draw ideas and inspiration.

My desire to succeed and grow as a professional has allowed me the opportunity to continually grow my skills, and approach an evolving marketing landscape with energy, enthusiasm, and a competitive nature. It is this drive which has continually provided me with the opportunity to drive over 22 years of successful strategic and tactical initiatives, working in various capacities alongside such brands as Cover Girl, Kenneth Cole, Timberland, Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Lines, Fitz & Floyd, YellowBook, Coldwell Banker, Sotheby’s, and Hewlett Packard to name a few.

My career has taken me to all corners of the interactive, marketing and creative spaces, ranging from large-scale software and platform development to print and online advertising. From multi-year product and feature roadmaps to analytics, SEO and SEM. From award-winning e-commerce management to brand management and development. My experience has provided me with a holistic toolkit from which to choose the right approach for the job at hand.

Since 2013, I have been focused on Marketing and go-to-market strategies within the IT landscape. This has involved building global Marketing teams, driving the needs of companies of all sizes as they grow within a range of offerings, including: cybersecurity, big data, AI/ML, RPA, QA, application development, enterprise platforms, digital advisory, and beyond.

In terms of tactics, I am extremely experienced in hands-on design, concepting, rapid prototyping, copywriting and documentation. My approach to everything is very hands-on, with no fear or ego preventing me from jumping into the weeds to do whatever is necessary to get the job done. I am as comfortable managing a project as I am as an active project member, and my broad range of application proficiencies allows me the opportunity to develop a diverse and integrated approach to any project. In other words, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty - in fact, I somewhat prefer it.

OK, enough of the procedurals.

Outside of my work and career, I'm obsessed with all things related to sports, music, video games, animal advocacy, craft beer, and self-proclaimed culinary excellence..
