  • Jesse Ariss, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Vidyard

  • Erik Frye, BSc Computer Science & Math '07, Manager, Digital Marketing, D2L
    • ​After graduating with a double degree in computer science and math from Laurier in 2007, a career in digital marketing wasn't exactly where Erik envisioned himself. However, 8 years of working at Blackberry honed his web development and marketing skills while building BlackBerry.com. It quickly became apparent that his education suited this career path perfectly. Now as the manager of digital marketing, Erik's team of two digital marketers and two developers are responsible for turning D2L.com into a lead generating machine. The team has used different digital marketing tactics to double their monthly traffic from 85k to 196k, and generate leads for their sales team to convert into customer. 
  • Adam Rochon, Chief Process Officer, Respecting the Process Inc.
    • ​In 2010, Adam Rochon began Respecting the Process (RTP) as his media portfolio in Toronto. RTP has since incorporated and become the internet's first Journalism Marketing service. After completing thousands of successful projects, RTP is evolving into a media company that helps people, brands and businesses find, create and distribute stories.
  • Emilia Spitse, BBA '06 MBA '08, National Digital Marketing Manager, Deloitte
    • ​Emilia has vast marketing experience that she gained through working in a variety of organizations, including software start-ups, fitness, academia and professional services. Her passion lies in driving holistic marketing strategy with a focus on digital marketing and, more specifically, results. Analytics play a big role in her works as a means of defining insights and areas for improvements across marketing efforts.
