As an Employee:

I would hire Tricia Mahoney again in a heartbeat. For any role. When I first interviewed Tricia while at TM Advertising, I was impressed by her poise, by the questions, she asked, by how she engaged me in conversation, and by how interested she was in my success. The longer I worked with her, the more she exceeded my expectations.

These are among the reasons:

• Tricia is mature in her approach to work and relationships. 
• She is unflappable.
• She is brave and unafraid of difficult assignments or conversations. She confidently walks into any challenging situation.
• She is very relational.
• She has an uncanny knack for observing and understanding people. 
• She sees what people need, and she makes them feel better for having worked with her.
• She is flexible to move easily between managing the detail and seeing the big picture.
• She manages up well. 
• And mentors and directs her team effectively.
• She gets marketing, is curious to understand what’s next, and has excellent instincts and judgment. 
• And she is always striving for what is better.
• And most importantly, Tricia is a person of integrity. 
• She is someone I would completely trust to manage an important project, important clients, a department, a brand, or to represent me within an organization or with a client.

As a forward-looking leader, Tricia always begins with the end in mind, she asks the hard questions and more importantly the right questions to create laser-focused vision for her clients and teams alike. A powerful communicator with a quick-wit, Tricia is also very quick on her feet, with a gift for bringing strategic points-of-view to life for her clients, in the moment. She is an entrepreneurial pathfinder who looks beyond charted courses to envision and bring to life new ways to win. Whether you are walking in to conquer that new business pitch, or pitching that long-term client on getting to the next-level, when you look over, Tricia Mahoney is who you want standing by your side.

Tricia is one in a million! Her energy and creativity is contagious. Between her marketing, comms and brand experience, Tricia brings incredible value with a unique perspective. She is not only smart, quick and a wealth of knowledge, she’s also resourceful. There’s nothing Tricia can’t do, even with limited resources. She is an invaluable asset to any team.

Sandy Diaz, VP Social & Digital at Mr. Cooper

 

Tricia is a top-notch content leader and effective storyteller. She takes the time and effort to truly understand her audience(s) and how to use content to reach them. I have seen her time and time again take a simple idea or a string of survey data and instantly jot down the start of something visually appealing to represent that information. She has a gift! She also thinks ahead on how content can be leveraged in multiple ways – on social, paid ads, PR tactics, etc. Tricia is also a stellar teammate, and I enjoy collaborating and thinking big with her – plus, she is great person to talk to and laugh with!

Christen Reyenga, VP Corporate Communications at Mr. Cooper

 

Tricia is a strategic and collaborative partner. Although we work in separate groups she and her team always seek out new opportunities to work together. Her customer-first approach bring to life and simplifies the complex and cumbersome home buying process. She is always pushing the creative envelope and serves up new and exciting ways to bring our content to life.

Steve Lemmon, VP Marketing at Mr. Cooper 

Tricia is passionate about collaboration. She bypasses the ordinary and reaches for exceptional. She is a powerful defender of creative. A tireless team player. And a trusted ally to clients. She has an extraordinary capacity for details. She can immerse herself in the complexities of a client’s business and never lose sight of the marketing task at hand. Innovative and original, Tricia is a rarity in our business. An Inspired marketing thinker and a genuinely honest person. You couldn’t ask for a better team member or team leader.

In the twenty-plus years that I’ve worked in advertising, I have had the good fortune to work with a few really good people. Tricia Mahoney is one of those people. She is crazy smart and has an inquisitive entrepreneurial spirit. Tricia is always totally informed of our client’s products, targets, and needs. But more importantly, she has really smart solutions. Tricia is a great partner in the process of developing creative and genuinely gets excited about the work. Her passion and excitement win clients over. I love working with Tricia, and she’d be my first pick as a partner on any assignment and any client.

Bernard Park, Founder, Content Director at Catalyst Content (formerly SVP, Creative Group Head & Creative at TM Advertising)

 

Tricia came to work with me during a tumultuous time. It was the most complicated account in the agency, and our client relationship was strained. Within an unbelievably short amount of time, Tricia totally got a handle on the business, understanding intricacies that took me a while to master. She revived the client relationship and became a trusted partner, which really made me so thrilled because she was able to sell my work easier. And since then, she keeps plugging away, doing everything she can to make the account run more and more smoothly. And that just work. Tricia personally is an amazing force of positivity and kindness. She’s in the business of lifting up: lifting YOU up, lifting WORK up, lifting CLIENTS up, lifting BUSINESS up. I’m so grateful to work with Tricia!

Any team would be lucky to have her.

Tricia and I had the pleasure of working together at TM Advertising. While there, she was the primary account lead for Discover Networks, where I provided digital consulting and B2B Marking Services. Tricia was the consummate professional; working diligently to meet client needs while also keeping the agency apprised of all activities, challenges, and opportunities. Tricia was always quick to add her expertise to discussions, helping to shape a proactive approach to account service that focused squarely on client satisfaction and account growth. I would recommend Tricia without reservation. She is an outstanding professional with strategic thinking and client relationship building at the core of her strengths.

It’s rare to stumble across someone as genuinely uplifting and encouraging as Tricia Mahoney. She is a woman of large aspirations and goals with the drive to accomplish any task she confronts. Her hardworking attitude is absolutely infectious, as is her positivity and creativity. I can honestly say that her words of encouragement have continued to empower me, even now as our paths cross less often. You can’t find a more determined person to work with!

Chelcie Parry, Entertainer and Artist (formerly Video Production Intern at Mr. Cooper)

It’s rare that you come across such a genuine person that pours into others and spreads her infectious spirit. I had the pleasure of working with Tricia on our On-boarding Program for new employees. She had such an innovative approach and always delivered when it came to our different initiatives throughout the project. Her ability to think outside the box and look at things from a different perspective enhanced our overall product. She was always positive and made sure to get the job done. Any employer that gets Tricia receives more than just someone that can check a box, she will create an experience all while delivering outstanding work!

Essence Edwards, HR Senior Training Specialist at Mr. Cooper

Tricia is such an energetic and positive person. She is great to work with each day. We started an internal “Kindness” campaign that she was an instrumental part of designing. She not only helped launch the initiative across multiple sites but she lives the values each and every day. Tricia provides her team, peers and co-workers with encouragement and kindness in everything she does. She is truly an asset to any project, campaign or company she is involved with.

Tricia is an incredible agency partner: high energy, very engaged, flexible and a student of the brands and categories she works on. She made all of our work better: she held her team to the highest standard and achieved strong results for our brands under demanding timelines. Tricia is the person who finds ways to make things happen when the status quo isn’t an option. She knows good creative and her instincts were a huge benefit to our team and hers.

Annie Reeder, Sr. Director, Strategy (formerly Sr. Manager, Advertising at Discover)

 

As Director, Marketing for Avid Technology, I got to know Tricia when she managed our account. Keeping it simple, I have not experienced better account management before or since. Tricia’s attention to detail, superlative people skills and commitment to her client’s success assured that schedules were met, and results often exceeded expectations. She remains the gold standard by which I measure other ADs.

Brian Chertok, EVP Marketing & Sales at CyberScout Inc. (formerly Director at Avid Technology)

 

I have had the good fortune to have worked with Tricia twice in my career: Once, when I was at Avid Technology, where she was the account executive for my line of business; and again when she was Director of Marketing at CMGI while I was Director of Marketing at Engage, one of CMGI’s portfolio of companies. During an explosive growth period at CMGI, Tricia was able to conceive and bring to fruition marketing programs for an extensive portfolio of disparate businesses – from web portals to furniture e-commerce sites – by managing, mentoring and motivating her team. (A team who loved working for her, by the way!) Her unique ability to quickly hone in on and bring to life the essence of value propositions that drive business forward was an enormous asset on both the agency and client sides of the business. I would work with Tricia again in a heartbeat!

Diane Tarr-Smith, Director of Global Marketing at IneoQuest Technologies (formerly Marketing at Avid Technology)

 

Tricia is a gifted communicator, dedicated to results and keeping her clients engaged and happy. She is the jack of all trades, and a trusted advisor and resource across numerous disciplines. The value she brought to Discover was immeasurable. She quickly deciphered our complex business model and brought new, non-traditional marketing and communication strategy approaches to the table. Her thoughtfulness and ability to manage all aspects of a client relationship was second to none – a very rare find!!

Katie Allmaras, Corporate Relations, Corporate Business Transformation at Allstate (formerly Global Content Marketing, Communications & Sponsorships at Discover)

 

Tricia supervised our account (Discover) for digital, media and web projects as well as all creative work for the brand. From the very first week working on our projects Tricia always displayed a genuine interest and love for our brand. She took steps to deeply understand our business model and make sure what was proposed was true to our company DNA. I warmly recommend Tricia to any company looking for an experienced marketing and communication lead that will truly care about your business.
