Aneke's Bio
Hello! My name is Aneke Gade and I am a Senior Marketing Associate, Vet Channel & CRM with Pumpkin Pet Insurance.
Marketing is my professional passion and an interest since childhood creating a play hotel in my bedroom as a five-year-old equipped with business cards, appropriate signage for the “guests,” and, of course, a pink Barbie laptop.
As I grew academically and professionally, I continued to love working with and understanding people as well as developing my written and verbal communication skills. In undergrad, my business economics education gave me the analytical confidence to be a data-driven marketer, especially when it comes to the digital space, which is becoming increasingly important in modern marketing strategy.
Outside of work, I am passionate about political discourse, mental health, and fitness, & a lover of psychological thrillers, cold press juicing, and world travel.
