He’s Got Game. Our new Marketing Manager, Nicholas Luberger, brings a wealth of experience to our agency and to our clients. Nick’s extensive sports marketing background gives him a competitive edge when it comes to executing winning strategies. Discover what drives Nick in this one-on-one interview. What’s the one thing you like most about working at Hawthorne? Hands down it’s the people. This group is so passionate about their work, their clients, this company, and the peop...le around them. When you have a great culture and team around you working towards a common goal, the possibilities are endless. How do you personally stay focused and motivated during these turbulent times? Balance is so important especially working through this drastic shift in our everyday lives. With our offices now in our homes, work is literally closer to home now more than ever. It is critical to respect my own schedule and set aside time to rest and unwind during evening hours and on weekends so that I can bring the best, most productive version of myself to work every day. You previously worked with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings, D.C. United, and the Cleveland Browns. Can you tell us a little about those experiences? I was extremely fortunate to get the chance to work in pro sports for eight seasons. I’ll forever be immensely proud of the teams I was a part of for making the impossible happen on a day-to-day basis due to our ingenuity and work ethic. Opening the Golden1 Center for the Sacramento Kings and selling out FirstEnergy Stadium after a winless Cleveland Browns season will always be some of my proudest accomplishments in my career. What’s the biggest challenge facing brands and marketers in 2021? The biggest challenge will be anticipating consumer trends. The landscape continues to shift at an accelerated rate based on new technology and behavioral patterns. Brands must look to create and market the best customer experience to retain and attract new customers or risk missing an enormous opportunity.

Although we worked remotely for most of 2020, it didn’t stop us from making renovations and progress for when we look forward to welcoming employees back in person. Here’s a sneak peek into some of the newest additions. We are so excited to share the progress, more to come!
