"I help businesses build lifestyle brands."
- Angela Carollo, MBA​
Marketing | Strategy | Branding
Proud marketing and branding geek, shameless serial hobbyist, and lifelong learner.
There are a few things you should know about me before we work together... For starters, I get way too excited about making PowerPoint presentations and having brainstorming sessions (I never have a shortage of ideas or techniques). I'm always the person taking photos at any event—family or work. I listen to all of my audiobooks and podcasts at 1.5x speed. On that note, sometimes I talk fast. And most importantly, I'm 100% committed to doing great work and finding ways to change the world through that work—even if it's in a small way.

favorite project:
INTERACT'S 2020 HOLIDAY VIDEO
"One of my favorite projects was working on our 2019 client holiday promotion. Because 2020 was approaching, we did Gatsby themed New Year's Eve boxes with champagne glasses and branded party favors. We sent these to our clients and asked them to participate in a social media contest. Our team also created this video, which premiered on Facebook. The video doubled as a portfolio piece for the agency, which got us more creative projects in the future. We all had so much fun putting it together (and our clients loved it!)."
impactful project:
INTERACT GIVES BACK
"One of my proudest moments was when our team at Interact made the first step towards becoming a truly practicing social responsible corporation through our Interact Gives Back philanthropic event that took place during the hardest part of the pandemic. We made donations to foundations and food pantries across the country and gave our clients masks as a symbol of the work they've done for their communities during that time."
best day at the office:
INTERACT GOOGLE DAY
"Presenting to a room full of current and potential clients at the Google Headquarters in Mountain View, California was one of the most surreal experiences. The campus was amazing, and co-presenting with Google's education team was even cooler!"
recent project:
SPICING UP STRATEGY PRESENTATION
"I always enjoy presenting and producing our webinars, but this was a challenging project because we had to prerecord our in-person conference presentation! Since we were presenting on data and creativity (and the presentation description was completely food-themed), we decided to film it in a kitchen. It allowed us to give online viewers a completely unique experience and not miss out on the in-person fun."
