MARKETING STAFF
MARKETING STAFF
APA! has a Marketing & Communications Team that is run by Sarah Collica. While they do feature our in-shelter and foster populations, they are primarily responsible for promoting and fundraising for the organization itself. We do not have a staff member dedicated to animal marketing. This is all handled by volunteers!
There is a volunteer team dedicated to Dog Marketing. They are responsible for creating that amazing Dog Marketing Guide. They have a team that reviews, edits and posts everything submitted via the Dog Photo & Video Form and the Dog Bios & Scores Form! This team will also get in there and take photos and write videos for our newer dogs that don't yet have any content for their profile pages. Thank them whenever you can!
But you are the people that create all the creative and beautiful and dynamic content that these people use.
