A little bit about me…

 
 

My Current Home

Manhattan, NY, USA

 

Hi! I’m Sierra Rain St John, a strategist with over seven years of experience in driving digital media projects and forming pivotal industry partnerships. 📊 My professional journey has been marked by a blend of strategic leadership and technical acumen, positioning me as a critical thinker in data-oriented business environments. I've collaborated with both burgeoning content creators and established entertainment brands, pioneering their digital presence through strategic campaigns and rights management. Most recently, as a Data Analyst at NBCUniversal Peacock, I leveraged large data lakes not just for analysis but to craft strategies that directly influenced business outcomes and audience engagement.

In this role, I specialized in translating complex data insights into strategic initiatives that improved acquisition, retention, and engagement across platforms. Previously, I managed significant client relationships as a Client Account Manager at Twitter (X) as well as a Senior Rights Account Manager at Vobile and also orchestrated the distribution strategy for over 300 titles at Corus Entertainment, Nelvana. My approach has always been to bridge the gap between data and strategic execution, ensuring that every campaign delivers tangible results aligned with overarching business goals. 📈

I excel in synthesizing data with market trends to guide decision-making and foster sustainable growth. My technical proficiency in SQL, Python, and visualization tools like Plotly, Tableau, and DOMO complements my strategic abilities, allowing me to deliver insightful analyses and actionable recommendations.

My inquisitive nature and ability to adapt to diverse business challenges makes me an excellent team leader. 💪 I prioritize authentic communication, creative collaboration, and strategic problem-solving to navigate any challenge successfully. 🥇

Clients that I have worked with include, but are not limited to, Sony Music Entertainment, WWE, Twitter (X), Bravo, Hasbro & eOne, Disney, Toon Bops, Nelvana, Corus Entertainment, and MGM (Amazon).
