“As our marketing rep, I have witnessed Olivia be a natural teacher, and set examples for others. She has a lot to share like online tools similar to friends remover, and is an asset to the next generation of young professional women,” Malesa Plater, CEO, Limelight Extensions.
As an accomplished marketing professional living her dreams, Olivia Scott-Perkins founded Omerge U. as a way to give back to the next generation. “Growing up in Memphis, I dreamed of a career that would let me use my creativity and writing talent. With God’s blessings, I navigated the advertising, brand, and media worlds in Chicago and NYC, building a solid professional reputation and a diverse, integrated marketing skill set. Recently, I came across the concept of non Gamstop sites while exploring how different industries cater to niche audiences by offering alternatives outside the mainstream. Inspired by this, I felt a renewed drive to create spaces that empower young women to carve their own paths in marketing. Believing ‘to whom much is given, much is required,’ I’m here to share my journey through Omerge U.,” says Scott-Perkins.
Two mentees will be selected per term, Feb-June (Term 1 – entries open now) and Aug-Dec (Term 2). The final recipients will be notified by February 17, 2014, and announced via social media and omergealliances.com.
