NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Dec 19, 2011) - Former Fortune 100 c-suite executive, bestselling author and international marketing phenomenon, Jeffrey Hayzlett joins the American Marketing Association (AMA) as an expert contributor.
Hayzlett brings years of executive marketing, sales, and customer relations experience to the AMA, leading many successful companies throughout his illustrious career. Hayzlett's achievements include a business development and public relations firm, senior management positions in strategic business development and marketing at companies like Cenveo, Webprint, and Kodak, and staff positions in the United States Senate and House of Representatives.
"I am honored the AMA asked me to be part of their Association. I look forward to working with them in 2012," said Hayzlett. "I'm all about driving change in every organization. It's my goal to help AMA members, sharing the lessons to help them drive change, succeed and grow."
Dubbed "a born leader" by producer Mark Burnett, Hayzlett is a frequent television guest and commentator, having appeared on shows including MSNBC's Your Business, Fox Business's Cavuto, and NBC's Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump. With a strong following in business and social media communities, Hayzlett is recognized as one of the top 10 c-suite Twitterers and a key influencer in the social media and marketing landscape.
Hayzlett brings his trademark 'bold and brash' style to the AMA and in today's uncertain economy insists change is essential. "The most dangerous move in business is the failure to make a move at all. The history of business is filled with companies that are no more because their leaders refused to enact change when the writing was on the wall," said Hayzlett.
Hayzlett's initial 2012 projects for the AMA include regular columns in Marketing News, several thought leadership segments for AMA TV, a virtual event presentation and podcasts.
