Here’s What They Say…

Tammy is a very talented, driven, goal-oriented marketing expert. Tammy has assisted me on many projects between our departments on web-based, organic, and grass-rooted campaigns. Tammy has been instrumental in providing Europa Sports the best marketing team in our niche industry. When it comes to all things marketing, you can bet that Tammy has an answer or a creative workaround to some of the most complex problems/processes. As a manager, Tammy provides excellent service to her colleagues and employees with a multi-faceted approach toward solving problems as a cohesive team.

Tammy Tufty was an integral part of my marketing management team for well over a decade. As marketing communications manager, she was instrumental in evolving her division and developing her team. She led, coached and mentored many designers, copywriters, production artists. She made managing all advertising and production work look easy. Her project management and leadership drove many successful projects and campaigns and her superb attention to detail and full project ownership made many of the campaigns award winners and portfolio worthy. She embraced social media and constantly refined her skills. I’d confidently consider her a business-centric social media guru.

Tammy was positively a people person and totally embraced the team mentality and culture. She was highly respected by her peers and thankfully adopted the unofficial “Social Chair” for the marketing team. “Team player” doesn’t even begin to describe her dedication. Honestly, she pulled me “out of the fire” on a number of occasions and was my sounding board for a variety projects and strategies. Tammy was a pleasure to work with and I consider it a privilege having her on the team.

I had the honor of working for Tammy at Europa Sports Products for over five years. She led the Communications team, successfully executing project after project, in a fast-paced environment. Tammy was a very personable and professional manager who truly cared about the people she worked with. I learned a great deal from her and grew as a designer because of her. Any company would be lucky to have Tammy on their team.
