Brittney Ziebell ’14: Marketing & Events Manager at Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club

I’m currently juggling a few positions including the Marketing & Events Manager at Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club, Day-of Wedding Assistant for Lovely Day Events & Chalk Artist for custom event chalkboard designs. The path that got me here is many years as a Detailing Assistant at Exquisite Events in Newport, RI during my summers in high school and college. That, coupled with my connections in the D1 Ski Racing Community landed me an Development & Event Coordinator position at Vail Ski & Snowboard Club out of college prior to my existing role.

I get the opportunity to work with tons of local businesses, soliciting sponsorships for legacy events here in Jackson, WY.

I use my English Degree every single day in the Event Planning industry. I’m constantly creating pitches to prospecting event sponsors or writing heartfelt letters thanking donors and participants of our local community events. I can thank my Colby English professors for setting me up for success: I now have the ability to communicate to my community and to captivate an audience for a cause.
