About Me

Hi All! My name is Amanda Menist and I am a marketing professional in the Greater New York City area.

My background in marketing started with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from Ramapo College of New Jersey. While attending Ramapo College, I was given the opportunity to intern at a marketing communications firm in New York City.

Post college, I found myself constantly searching for a career in my field of interest – marketing. After working for a year and a half in the banking industry, I decided to be strategic about my job search and to apply for sales positions in companies that had internal marketing departments. I landed a job as a Group Sales Specialist for GOGO Worldwide Vacations in November 2010. While sales was something that I truly enjoyed, I always had my eye on the golden egg – a marketing position.

A year after my start with GOGO, a Marketing Coordinator position opened up at Liberty Travel (GOGO’s sister company). I applied, interviewed and landed my current role in November 2011. While I was making a big career move, I was also making a big life decision by saying “yes” to marrying my now-fiancé, Stephen. Since then, I have utilized social media websites to search for inspirations, reviews and information to help plan our upcoming wedding.

Through this blog I hope to help others become inspired by the opportunities that social media has led to appeasing and inspiring wedding planning.  On my current course to completing my Master’s of Arts degree in Integrated Marketing Communications, I find that this area of interest is something that I am passionate about. I hope that this blog helps and inspires my passion for integrated marketing communications and my utilization of social media for wedding planning.
