Briana Bishop
I'm Briana Bishop, a current student at Loyola University and Brand Development Manager with Republic National Distributing Company.
Through Loyola I'm pursuing a master's degree in Emerging Media and Digital Communications. Loyola's Emerging Media program offers students essential knowledge and skills to understand and employ new media in real-world applications.
It's my goal to incorporate the skills learned into my full-time job as a Brand Development Manager for Remy Cointreau with Republic National Distributing Company.
A large part of my job includes building on and off premise exposure with the brands I'm working with. To do so, I work closely with with the Maryland sales reps to ensure:
My brands are featured at key accounts
Program initiatives are communicated and maintained
We are winning in the market
Pictured here is support from Saltwater 75 for exposure of Mount Gays partnership with The Chesapeake Bay Foundation. At the end of the year, Mount Gay will be donating 5,000 dollars to the foundation in support of the bay clean up.
Saltwater 75 was glad to spread awareness and have a permanent cocktail with the rum!
