Brandon Quillen / A perspective for the Marketing Manager role
For Jostin ConstructionKnow the work.
Find the story.
Make it useful.
My background combines commercial development, restaurant marketing, and photography. I would use that experience to help Jostin explain its projects, present its people, and produce the material its business development team needs.

View my photography
Help plan and capture project photographs, then select images for project pages, proposals, staff profiles, and social content.
A useful complement to the team. I would build on Jostin’s existing marketing, video, and digital work, with a focus on accurate content, consistent execution, and materials that help business development.
02 / A practical system
One good project story.
More ways to use it.
The opportunity is to make strong project information easier to capture, approve, find, and adapt.
Understand & collect
Interview the project team and document the client’s need, constraints, scope, and key decisions. Review existing images, then plan photographs of the overall space, important details, and the people involved.
Build an approved record
Create a clear project description with verified facts, relevant credentials, image rights, and an owner for future updates.
Adapt for the audience
Use that foundation for a project page, proposal narrative, presentation, short video outline, and social content.
03 / Independent writing sample
Show the project.
Explain its purpose.
An example based on Jostin’s
public ProKids project description.
ProKids headquarters / Cincinnati, Ohio
Space for the people
behind the mission.
A headquarters has to support both everyday work and the moments that bring people together. At ProKids, that meant making room for staff, collaboration, training, and events.
Jostin served as general contractor for work spanning reinforcement, white boxing, and interior buildout. The resulting program includes a lobby and café, 60–80 workspaces, collaboration rooms, and training and event space accommodating up to 260 people.

04 / Proposed first 90 days
A focused start.
Useful things delivered.
A starting framework to refine
with the team’s actual priorities.
Listen, learn, and establish the facts.
Understand what the business development and marketing team needs most, then build one complete example.
- Meet the people responsible for business development, projects, recruiting, and approvals.
- Review the current website, proposal materials, content calendar, and asset library.
- Choose one project and build an approved story with clear scope, context, and useful visuals.
Tangible output
One approved project story, an asset inventory, and a focused list of priorities.
A note on AI
Helpful tools.
Human judgment.
My approach is practical: use AI to organize approved source material, explore drafts, and reduce repetitive production work. Keep project facts, confidentiality, approvals, and final editorial decisions with the people responsible for them.
The goal is more time for the work that depends on judgment: asking a good question, recognizing a useful detail, and choosing the right story.
