Marketing Director

I'm currently the Marketing Director for the Ko Automotive Group, a dealership group located outside of Boston focused on improving the automotive sales/service experience. In my role, I lead all the company's marketing efforts, lining up our promotional strategies with the revolutionary sales process and customer experience we've designed.

I've built and implemented successful marketing campaigns that break the mold of traditional dealership advertising. I'm well versed in website development, search engine marketing and optimization, account management, social media, and design - all skills that help brands stand out online and succeed offline.

I'm an inquisitive learner and hard worker who enjoys wearing multiple hats and helping out wherever I can. Personally, I have a true passion for skiing, the mountains, and the outdoors, and I hope to one day merge my personal passions with my professional ones.

I'm always looking for new adventures to sink my teeth into, so if you've got something in mind, I'd love to hear from you! Feel free to connect or shoot me a note at joshjaychang@gmail.com.
