Marketing manager, YouTube Red Originals at Google

My Greatest Accomplishment

Prior to YouTube, I worked on the Originals marketing team at HBO. For “Game of Thrones” Season 4, we planned the largest promotional event in HBO history. We sold out Brooklyn’s Barclays Center (in minutes) for the “Epic Fan Experience,” an event befitting the biggest show on TV. Thousands showed up to an arena that was transformed into the world of the show. We even gave away a $30,000 Iron Throne to a lucky fan (it’s now in his parents’ garage, Google it!). The only thing more epic than the event itself was our team’s ability to pull it together in just three weeks.

Editor’s note: In addition to his day job, Cuttic is the parent, photographer and valet to a tiny, très-chic French bulldog named René-Charles, whose Instagram (@ReneCharlesNYC) account has 75,000 followers and is the subect of a coffee table book called “René-Charles NYC.”

How Drexel Helped

Drexel taught me that it’s not enough to just be an expert in one discipline. My coursework forced me out of my advertising bubble and challenged me to embrace aspects of business that I would rarely encounter on a day-to-day basis. I gained invaluable perspective on how a product’s success or failure touches all aspects of the business.
