Neil Rubenstein

I have over 15 years of direct and database marketing experience. I have worked for a number of different companies on both the client-side as well as agency/consulting. In my various roles, I have done everything from executing & managing direct marketing campaigns, conducting marketing research, developing marketing/campaign strategies across multiple channels, scoping & implementing databases, and performing extensive analysis & data manipulation. I have also built a strong personal and professional presence using social media.

In addition to my current full-time job, I helped my wife start Creative Celebrations. This children's entertainment company offers unique theme parties and full-service event coordination. We focus on birthdays and special events for children (and adults) of all ages in the Chicago area. Creative Celebrations offers the largest variety of theme parties in the entire Chicago area with over 50 to choose from. I currently manage all aspects of marketing for Creative Celebrations including direct & database marketing, social media, & website design/maintenance.

I recently became the father of a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia survivor - 1 of 800 to survive in 2010.
