Brendon Cottreau came to Brafton with a mission. Sure, he applied for a position as a lead generation executive and later excelled on the sales team. But he knew he wanted to get a foot in the door at Brafton because it offered a compelling opportunity: he could gain experience in online marketing and work toward his true ambition of developing strategies for Brafton’s customers.

“I even said in my first interview for the Lead Generation Executive position that my goal eventually would be to work with clients on developing successful strategies,” he explained.  “I knew I didn’t have enough experience to manage a client portfolio, but I always had the interest and ambition.”

Now a content marketing strategist in our Boston office, Brendon’s favorite aspect of his position is understanding how an audience interacts with a client’s website and how to make that experience better.

“Stealing Brendon from our sales team was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a manager,” Jim Kensicki said. “He’s a master at organization and detail, to a level that makes me a little jealous.”
