MCKINNEY, TX, June 02, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Craig Martin Jr. has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Martin established himself in the fields of marketing and merchandising in 2012 when he accepted positions as a field marketing project coordinator and an assistant shopper marketing manager with Group360 Worldwide. From 2013 to 2015, he found success as a marketing coordinator for Samsung Electronics America. He continued his career as a senior product marketing coordinator for Samsung Mobile from 2014 to 2016, a senior visual merchandising specialist for Rent-A-Center from 2016 to 2018, the director of marketing and business development at Central File, Inc., from 2018 to 2019, and the director of marketing and business development at The Anstadt Company from 2018 to 2019. Currently, he has excelled as the go-to merchandising manager for Samsung Electronics since 2019.
Though he always exhibited an interest in marketing, Mr. Martin first considered pursuing a career in the field while he was debating whether he would travel overseas to play football. As he had a background in business and extensive volunteer experience, his agent at the time instructed him to work for Dr. Pepper. Upon walking into the headquarters and observing the company's work on their Avengers film promotion, he knew it was exactly where he wanted to be. Coincidentally, he had always lived a five-minute distance from the headquarters and had always told himself that he would work there. He is grateful to have not gone overseas, as he loved every second of what he was doing.
Mr. Martin earned a Bachelor of Arts in visual and performing arts from the College of the Holy Cross in 2012. He attributes his success to his parents, who have always provided for him and inspired him to excel in his studies. Throughout his career, he has volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and the Team Jack Foundation. Additionally, he actively participates on the football board of directors for the Plano Sports Authority and regularly volunteers as a football coach at the local high school.
Early in his career with Samsung, Mr. Martin is proud to have been tasked with jump-starting their merchandising presence by means of determining the set-up of their stores, as well as their presence in big-box retailers. Looking toward the future, Mr. Martin aims to be a thought leader in the retail space by connecting with others to spread sales, marketing and merchandising methods that resonate with them. Above all, his goal is to be in a place where he can manage individuals, enjoy his career, volunteer and coach in his spare time.
