Angela began her "official" marketing career while completing her undergraduate degree in communications and English at UC Berkeley. From 2004 to 2007, she conducted business development and orchestrated marketing initiatives in traditional and new media for DriversEd.com and WebTrafficSchool.com, the largest online driver education and traffic school destinations in the country.
In the early stages of her position Angela developed relationship management skills, traveling legs and a broader perspective of how people relate to media. (It turns out almost all of them think they're immune to it.)
Angela has been blogging since 2002. She has also had a "thing" for ads as far back as she can remember. In late 2006 she was adopted by Adrants and CMSWire, which helped sharpen her writing chops and imbue her with a slightly geeky pallor. In 2007 she became the editor for MarketingVox. By 2025, she expects to have published eight bestselling strategy books and acquired Starbucks in a controversial (but totally fair) hostile takeover bid.
In her spare time Angela reads, a surprisingly unpopular quality on the schoolyard. Her favourite books are The Immigrants by Fast, the autobiography of David Ogilvy, Buffett by Lowenstein, Fellini on Fellini, Sylvie and Bruno by Lewis Carroll, and Here, There and Everywhere by Emerick and Massey. She enjoys Spanish cinema and all kinds of music. (Favourite artists include Jay-Z, The Velvet Underground pre-Nico, Air, Sinatra, Astrud Gilberto, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Nouvelle Vague.)
Sometimes she likes Vivaldi, but falling asleep to The Four Seasons gives her nightmares.
Because she works "online," her parents think she is a web designer.
