Elise Ruddins Member Welcome Committee

I graduated from University of Southern California with a degree in Communication and a minor in Design. I am a former USC volleyball athlete that has a huge love for all sports, competition and teamwork. Ever since graduating, I have dedicated my time to working in the advertising/marketing industry. I got my start at a privately owned agency and specialized in advertising for healthcare and CPG products. Since then, I have marketed products such as Febreze, Tampax, The Art of Shaving, First Aid Beauty, Pabst Beers and Tillamook Cheese/Ice Cream. One of my favorite parts about the ad industry is learning to understand the unique challenges that brands and products face as the media landscape continues to shift year over year.

I am currently working for Assembly Global advertising exclusively for Tillamook Dairy Products. Tillamook has some of the best cheese, ice cream, cream cheese and yogurt products out there which makes advertising for them even more enjoyable (If you haven’t tried the Tillamook cheddar cheese or cookie dough ice cream, I highly recommend). This account has truly emersed me into the world of retailer, digital, traditional and influencer marketing.

I am a Southern Orange County native that moved to Las Vegas in 2022 to continue working remotely. While I have only lived in LV for about a year, I have been lucky enough to be a part of one of the best orgs in Vegas, LVIMA! I have been enjoying all that Vegas has to offer with my friends and family nearby in California. My favorite activities in Vegas so far have been enjoying pool days in the sun, cooking, and hosting friends for dinner.
