Marketing that moves people.

Michelle Rubin

I'm an experienced leader in B2C and B2B marketing, partnerships, events, and brand activations — known for initiating innovative, culturally relevant concepts that build brand awareness, drive consumer engagement, and increase sales across the entertainment, sports, and retail ecosystems.

At National CineMedia, I led the modernization and monetization of cinema advertising through first-to-market content and creator partnerships, generating $2M+ in incremental revenue and hundreds of millions of impressions. As the U.S. Representative to Cannes Lions, I grew Young Lions participation 20% year-over-year and opened $1M+ in new business pipelines.

At Macy's, I revamped the national multicultural event and marketing strategy, owning total campaign strategy across omni-channel media, creative, budget, and experiential elements from conception through execution — including Macy's largest Pride presence in company history at World Pride 2019.

I started my career in sports marketing at the LA Dodgers, where I negotiated all on-field celebrity talent appearances, relaunched the iconic celebrity softball game, created the first VIP experiences at Fan Fest, and launched the organization's first loyalty program for 20,000+ season ticket holders.

Building the First U.S. Lions Community from Scratch

As U.S. Representative for Cannes Lions, I built a first-of-its-kind U.S. Lions Community connecting Young Lions competitors, jurors, and sponsors through a mentorship program, virtual webinars, and in-person events — activating a previously underleveraged sponsorship into a growth engine.

Revived the iconic celebrity softball game after a 10-year hiatus with 25 celebrity bookings, produced the first-ever top-of-the-dugout performances, launched a viral T-Pain National Anthem, and created the franchise's first-ever fan loyalty program for 20,000+ members.
