Meet Ann Marie Almariei “AMA”
Maker. Marketer. Multiversal Mixologist.
AMA defines tomorrow’s M-shape.
You don’t have to look hard to see that everything AMA creates has a luminous energy. You can feel it.
Whether she’s designing NFTs for her own brand, conjuring up content for Fortune 100 companies, or strategizing go-to-market solutions for startups, she thinks and designs in a multiverse of direction and dimension.
“I've been in love with the limitless possibilities of creativity my entire life, and I've refused to confine myself to any one medium, industry, or even reality.”
AMA has all the makings of a creative marketing avatar, but fact is, she’s real. Vibrant. Disruptive. Unmistakably human. Get to know AMA and chances are you’ll unlock a lot about her work, too.
For more than two decades, AMA has been traveling between marketing and creative worlds to help companies find their way in the digital and virtual landscape. Currently, she’s a fractional Marketing Director lending thought leadership, strategy and direction to all sorts of new projects, spanning web2 AND driving deep into web3.
And while traditional marketing is at her core, her true superpower is turning traditional marketing opportunities into transformational stepping stones for brands looking to leap ahead of the curve.
She was digital before digital, social before social. Virtual before multi-whatever-you are-calling-it.
Before setting out on her own path in the entrepreneurial world, AMA worked for Gary Vaynerchuck's revolutionary VaynerMedia, where she established creative and content standards for over 70 major brands. Gary himself took her under his wing and played a role in encouraging AMA to go after it on her own.
In addition, she has provided transformational leadership for Cheil Worldwide, Devries Global and 360i. She’s guided P&G, Kraft Foods, Olay and many others to create groundbreaking campaigns. Led the creation of Samsung’s social and digital presence in the US and globally. Helped JCPenney become the first brick-and-mortar store to have their entire catalog available on Facebook. Paved the way for Coca-Cola's entrance into Second Life in 2007. And even gave Cheil Worldwide an iconic virtual presence --- conceptualizing and creating Cheil’s office in Second Life’s version of Times Square “New New York”.
“It’s my goal to continue to defy boundaries and cross borders—using personal disruption to foster my own creative growth in the age of digital disruption.”
Even in real life, she’s driven to transcend borders. Case in point, she and her husband have vowed to live in a different city every couple of years until they find a place they just can’t leave. It’s just another way her work becomes an echo of her life.
What more can we say? This multi-talented marketer is the real thing. And she is on 🔥!
Glad you are rocketing forward with us, AMA!
