Andrea Hill will be sharing her insights in “Success Strategies,” her new featured column in MJSA Journal, published by the Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America.

Hill, known for her ability to turn complex principles of business development, branding, and marketing into clear, practical strategies for businesses, makes her debut in the June 2008 issue, where she focuses on “Knowledge Management,” which, as she puts it, “is a practice that is used to facilitate better analysis of problems, make more effective decisions, continue innovation, and learn from mistakes. When deployed effectively, KM can help you compete by leveraging your creativity in addition to your cash.”

“Especially in this economic climate, our readers have been depending on the Journal to give them not just a manufacturing edge, but also a business edge,” said the Journal’s editor in chief, Tina Snyder. “Andrea will provide them with just the sort of business tools they need to compete. This is a very exciting partnership.”
 
Hill is the Principal of Hill Management Consulting & Training in Chicago, which focuses on improving the performance of small and mid-sized corporations. Prior to HMC, Hill was CEO of The Bell Group, an industry supplier in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She also served as president of a children’s clothing manufacturer, president of a direct marketing services firm, and director of merchandising for a major national catalog operation. In each of her roles, she has designed branding and marketing strategies that translated into dramatic increases in brand recognition.
