Marnie’s passion is neuro-marketing (marketing research that studies consumers’ sensory-motor, cognitive, and affective response to marketing stimuli. Researchers use technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure changes in activity in parts of the brain). Marnie continuously explores the latest trends and research in consumer and social psychology, allowing her clients to stay ahead of their competitors and effectively targeting their customers. Her understanding of neuro-marketing and its components provides for the creation of campaigns that generate a positive cognitive response, and resonates with the consumer.
Marnie constantly seeks to develop relevant and forward-thinking strategies that lead her clients to the forefront of their audience, bridging the gap between brand and consumer – ultimately paving the path to a successful and a reliable return on their marketing investment.
Marnie’s expertise also includes graphic design, creating strategic marketing plans, implementing public relations campaigns, and tailoring a targeted online presence. Her brand-focused, integrated strategies are tailored to each client and their respective industry goals.
Marnie is also the brainchild of the hugely popular Elite Networking Group in Las Vegas, that after only 1 year boasted a membership of over 400 people. After relocating to Raleigh, Marnie could see the opportunity to start another networking group. As a result, Mix Networking Group was born in October 2010. Mix now has over 500 members and continues to grow.
Marnie is currently the Marketing and Business Development Director for Cresa, a Raleigh commercial real estate firm. Marnie continues to consult on a part time basis for other real estate clients.
