Leslie Oelerich has worked in various positions involving marketing, writing and editing.
"My job at Tower Records entailed many duties related to marketing, writing and editing about music and the music industry," said Leslie. "Including hanging out with bands like BareNakedLadies, Flys, etc. ... so I asked them how they 'made it' and got some information that way from those who got to the big time."
She worked directly with the Vice President and over 100 employees in 3 departments (Tower Records Online, Pulse! Magazine, and Tower Records’ National Customer Service Call Center) as well as coordination with Tower’s 30+ corporate department heads. At Tower she also worked on a teen music magazine that never came to fruition for Tower.
Leslie booked, managed, and supervised 24 rock bands (120 musicians) performing at the Tower to Tower ½ Marathon event. She organized and hosted at least 5 individual functions for up to 250 people involving entertainment, sit-down meals, and awards ceremonies. She directed and supervised several event committees up to 5 people including planning, delegating and problem solving.
