MODERATOR Jaime Sarachit CMO Ticketmob

With more than a decade of global agency and in-house expertise in integrated marketing communications, Jaime Sarachit has led award-winning programs for some of the world's biggest brands from Barbie and The GRAMMYs to Red Bull and The Olympics. As CMO for TicketMob – the premiere forward thinking and socially-driven ticketing platform for artists, venues, and promoters – she oversees brand marketing, partnerships, PR and social media for the company's consumer-facing ticketing verticals in comedy (LaughStub), music (TuneStub), and EDM/nightlife (ElectroStub).

Previously Jaime was Director of Communications, Media Relations & Social Media at The Recording Academy (GRAMMYs) where she was responsible for elevating the GRAMMY brand year-round; overseeing media and artist relations, social media, crisis communications, special events, and strategic partnerships. She spearheaded many of the organization's digital firsts for over six years, most notably the fan-voted My GRAMMY Moment with Justin Timberlake and Foo Fighters, What's The Download digital music education campaign, event livestreams, and the annual Social Media Rock Stars Summit during GRAMMY Week. As a critical leader in building the organization's first social media team in early 2008, she developed and executed digital strategy that significantly increased press, ratings, new fan acquisition, and double-digit social media numbers year-after-year, including 2012's record-breaking 54th GRAMMY Awards. With 40M viewers, 13M social media comments, and 65K tweets per second, it reigns as the most social TV event in history.

Prior to The Recording Academy, Jaime gained consumer brand marketing chops at MS&L, Ketchum, and Hill & Knowlton with blue chip clients like Mattel (Barbie & Ken's Break-Up won PR Week’s Campaign Of The Year), Nestle, Nokia, Red Bull, Disney, Absolut, Universal, The Olympics, and former CA First Lady Maria Shriver.

Jaime is a Communications graduate from U.C. San Diego, where she held office as Student Body VP of Communications. Although she has received various career honors, including PR News' Top 15 To Watch Under 30 and PRSA LA's Young Professional Of The Year, this @PRGal is most proud of her diverse collection of concert tickets.
