Sunset Foods is a family-owned grocery retailer in Chicago’s Northern Suburbs. The company has been in business since 1937 and is the premier grocery retailer in the area. Above all, Sunset Foods is known for providing unparalleled customer service and for carrying high quality products at competitive prices. During my time at the company, Sunset has received numerous awards, including the Food Marketing Institute’s Neighborhood Partnership Award, The State of Illinois Governor’s Hometown Award, and the Illinois Retail Merchants Association Retailer of the Century Award.
As Sunset’s VP of Marketing and as an officer of the company, I am responsible for advertising, social media, and public relations activities. I also determine content for Sunset’s website and work to improve, strengthen, and shape the company’s brand identity. At Sunset, I have overseen the development of the company’s brand vision and have refocused promotional and public relations materials so that they more strongly emphasize Sunset’s reputation for exceptional customer service and products. I have also overseen efforts to increase overall brand awareness for Sunset, partially through the development and implementation of social media engagement strategies.
