Randal W. Startz Named a VIP Member of Worldwide Who's Who for Excellence in Marketing

    MIAMI, October 28, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Randal Startz, Senior Account Executive of Marketing for Royal Caribbean International, was recently named a VIP member of Worldwide Who's Who. This special distinction honors individuals who have shown exceptional commitment to achieving personal and professional success.

Mr. Startz has 20 years of professional experience, with six years as a senior account executive for Royal Caribbean International. Over the years, he has established himself as an expert in relationship marketing. On a daily basis, he is responsible for managing projects, handling customer relationship management, segment marketing, and events. He also handles reporting and analytics for the company, and manages social networking duties. Prior to joining Royal Caribbean International in 1997, Mr. Startz worked for Gap/Banana Republic from 1992 until 2006, JCPenney Direct from 1994 until 1999, Rapp Collins/Marketing Technology Group from 1999 until 2006, and Inforte from 2006 until 2007. Mr. Startz feels that he has been fortunate to work with large companies that have one identifying factor - the customer comes first, and everything else is structured thereafter. J.C. Penney summed it up best with his Golden Rule, based on the principle of fair and equitable exchange by acting according to the original Golden Rule of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Looking back, Mr. Startz attributes his success to his hard work and detail-oriented nature. "I have always been interested in discovering... the relationship between a person and their psychology, which helps me in my overall strategy to my profession," says Mr. Startz. "My everyday interaction with my co-workers and guests on Royal Caribbean ships keeps me energized and looking forward to finding the new ways to surprise and delight. It's the journey -either good or bad- that makes the memories and great stories of your life."

Mr. Startz received a Bachelor of Arts in marketing and advertising from The University of Oklahoma in 1993. He is a member of the University of Oklahoma's College of Business, and a JCPenney Leadership Program alumnus. In recognition of his achievements, he has received the Travel Weekly 2012 and 2013 Silver Magellan Awards. In addition, he was named as an international marketing partner of the year in 2011, and he received a Captain's Award recognizing him as an employee of the quarter in 2008. In years to come, Mr. Startz hopes for continued growth within his current profession, possibly moving up the ranks.
