Taylor Riley, marketing and sales coordinator at McKEON.
Taylor has been with McKEON for seven years. She authors the weekly blog, which details new, innovative products and exciting, recently completed projects from McKEON and its distributors. Taylor also runs McKEON’s social media pages and is one of the McKEON team members active on the live chat feature on its website.
Taylor manages the general product information for the website’s live chat feature. This allows her to connect customers to their local distributor and respond to general, non-technical inquiries.
“This was my first job out of college,” Taylor said. “I started mainly working with distributors, and then that took a turn, and we started doing social media… (McKEON started) getting more of a brand presence on the internet,” Taylor said.”
When McKEON began rebuilding its website, Taylor started working on the blog to highlight new products, product updates, and events such as product training or distributor trade shows.
“As far as starting the blog- that wasn’t really a challenge- that was just interesting,” Taylor said. “Getting the website up and running was a big project, but the blog itself, that was more fun than anything.”
Distributors reach out to Taylor with new projects or events, which she then includes in the weekly blog.
“The challenging part is getting the information because everyone is so busy,” Taylor said. “The challenging part is hunting down these projects because the distributors do so many big projects.”
Taylor is the proud mother of an 18-month-old boy with another due in August. She enjoys taking her son on walks and going to the park.
Another fun fact about Taylor is that she did competitive dance for 15 years before college.
