Teresa Costa Account Manager/Media Buyerteresa@trickeyjennus.com
Childhood ambition: I wanted to be a veterinarian or a fashion designer.
First job: The same first job my four older sisters had, Busch Gardens gift shop cashier. We’re big on family traditions.
Why advertising: Honestly, because I thought it would be fun. Now I know better… it’s work, but really fun work. I may not be on the “creative” side but I get to be creative with marketing goals and budgets. I get to collaborate with some pretty smart people and make things happen.
What gets you out of bed every morning: My children.
Indulgence: Chocolate!
What year do you think robots will inherit the Earth: I think they already have – keep an eye on that Blackberry.
Mom of two kids and a dog, church and school volunteer, has never met a dessert she didn't like
It's a universal axiom - a working mom is the ultimate Swiss Army Knife. Problem solver, referee, budgeter, educator, nurse and in Teresa's case, we must add account manager and media buyer. She does it all well and doesn't put up with any back talk. Not only is she highly proficient in the latest media buying software, Teresa visits clients regularly to ensure goals are being met, manages the flow of projects, and implements strategic marketing plans aiding in tracking client initiatives for ROI. With an MBA in one hand and a soccer ball in the other, she's the mom you can always count on.
