Director of Corporate Development / Marketing Manager

Aerial Services, Inc. (ASI) / Cedar Falls, Iowa / 2007-2014
Joshua’s work began with rebranding the then stale brand, providing consistent messaging, strategy, and oversight. Efforts included asset creation, campaign development, web design/optimization, proposal creation, and many other roles. The company showed growth, in parallel with these efforts, leading to the company’s inclusion in the Inc. 5000 in 2009. Midterm during his tenure, Joshua was heavily involved with an internal start-up (SpatialCloud) focused on using cloud computing for geospatial content distribution via a user friendly web interface. He assisted with business strategy and vision, marketing support, and web interface design. The intellectual property of the project was folded back into the company’s mainline technologies, but the business model was later validated with similar services created by tech-giants like Google. Throughout, his trusted judgment allowed him to be an important advisor to company ownership and upper management with regards to business improvements, new opportunities, managerial issues, and corporate goals.

Director of Marketing / Program Manager / Intern Scholar

Young America’s Foundation / Herndon, Virginia / 2001-2006
After interning and proving his skill set as a student, the non-profit extended an offer for Joshua to join as a Program Officer with an emphasis on marketing the organization. After spending time assisting with print/web material creation, fundraising collateral, and marketing coordination, he became a Director with a focus on branding and messaging. These efforts included the redesign and implementation of a new quarterly magazine format newsletter, website user interface improvement campaign, and brand consistency efforts. During his tenure, and in part because of his branding/marketing efforts, the organization’s revenue went from $8.4 million in 2001 to $18.0 million in 2008. In addition, Joshua also headed event planning of a number of large conferences with 500+ attendees, aided with creative ideas for annual programmatic initiatives, and appeared as a company representative dozens of times on stage, radio, and television.
