ALEXANDRA BUENDO

I'm Alexandra Buendo (Ali, as most know me). Massachusetts born, South Carolina schooled. I've gained a few years of valuable advertising experience, along with valuable educational experience, earning two degrees, one in Marketing, the other in Entrepreneurial Management, with a minor in public relations and advertising.

 

Starting in high school, I spent my summers as a part-time intern at an advertising agency. What started out as observing the daily in-and-outs and learning about the different departments of an agency, transformed into a desire to create the work I was seeing others produce. Not far into my agency experience, I realized not only was I drawn to the marketing world, I was inspired by the desire to figure out what motivates people and how I can bring my creativity to the table. 

​

Moving 1,000 miles away from home for school not only pushed me out of my comfort zone, but has motivated me to tackle any challenge that comes my way. My experience in the advertising world only broadened since getting to South Carolina. Eight months as an intern, turned into an offer to work as an Account Coordinator. Going into my senior year, while balancing a "real" job was a challenge that I was beyond excited to take on. Chernoff Newman allowed me to gain experience working with clients in the food and beverage industry, education, workforce development, real estate, finance, various PR experience, and the list goes on. I moved on to work in Charleston, South Carolina only further confirming my love for industry. Whether it's planning the cities next big event, forming partnerships with community partners, or working with clients in a number of different industries, I am passionate about the work I create.

​

A little bit of a checklist queen, balanced out by my outgoing personality, has proven to be more valuable in the business world than I initially thought. Looking for someone with a work ethic that doesn't quit?
