“I had the esteemed pleasure of working with Natacha at The Gathering Spot, where she led a dynamic team of creatives as the Senior National Marketing Director. In a short span of time, she gained the respect of TGS leaders, staff and members - through her thoughtful and compassionate leadership. As the director of marketing, Natacha’s keen attention to detail and strong organizational skills have had a direct impact on growing the TGS brand and audience, resulting in an increase of bottom line and social media engagement. Just one of the large scale projects that she oversaw and spearheaded include The Connection - where we chartered 300 members from Atlanta to Los Angeles for a weekend of celebrating the opening of the 3rd TGS physical location. She and her team were responsible for all of the branding, comms and content, which kept members, stakeholders and partners in the know of the weekend activities and activations. She is a reliable and dependable team player who always reaches across to help and inspire those she works alongside. As a growing professional, Natacha has been a guiding force to myself on how to effectively and passionately navigate corporate spaces as a Black woman in leadership.”

In addition to her professional skills, Natacha's positive attitude and collaborative nature made working with her a joy. Her talent and dedication shines through in everything she does. Natacha McLeod is hands-down one of the best marketers I have ever come across, and it was an honor and a pleasure to work under her leadership. -
“I had the pleasure of working with Natacha for four years at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO). She was a wonderful partner, always bringing new ideas to streamline and organize our workflow. During our time together, we moved the ASO from Tessitura to Ticketmaster for ticketing; we added Mediatool for media management, WebDAM for photo archives, and Brightcove for virtual concert presentations. We also partnered with Carbonhouse to create a more accessible website for our patrons. In addition to her organizational and management skills, Natacha was a wonderful ambassador in the community, creating new partnerships and creative opportunities to elevate the ASO and engage new audiences.”

“Ms. Natacha McLeod first started with the Cultural Events Division and came strongly recommended from previous employers and armed with an already impressive resume. It was clear to us that as soon as we interviewed her, that hiring her was an opportunity that could not be passed. From the moment Ms. McLeod started with our department she immediately raised the bar when it came to professionalism, quality and customer/client satisfaction. Several key programs were developed and created because of her direct work. These programs include "Amphitheatre Choice Program", Sponsorship Development, Market Expansion, Community Outreach, Exclusive Advertising and more. Because of these programs, the Cultural Events Division was able to increase revenues each year by over $250,000. Not only did Ms. McLeod bring the department financial growth and success, but also many awards and prestigious listings within the industry. The financial savvy, positive attitude, respectful demeanor, and thoughtful management approach that Ms. McLeod brought to the department made her an absolute asset and much loved amongst the staff, artists, management, clients, customers and more. Beyond the hard work, dedication, professionalism and talent, lies her ability to pour herself completely in to the work that she believes in and the work that she believes makes the world a better place. I can say full heartedly that Natacha McLeod would add great strength, talent and heart to any organization that is lucky to have her. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions at any point of time.”

“The intent of this letter is to extend my highest recommendation for Ms. Natacha McLeod. Natacha is one of my favorite people and likely the best marketing assistant I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Natacha joined my team at Lakewood Amphitheatre as a summer intern and it was not long before I knew she was the right candidate to work as my seasonal marketing assistant. Natacha exhibited a love for music, passion for live events and took pride in her work. She worked hard maintaining relationships with media and providing current information to develop effective marketing promotions. Natacha identified new opportunities and explored ideas to help sell tickets. Over the couple of summers Natacha spent with our team, she grew in the position to assist in all areas of the venue. She was planning day of show events, coordinating VIP parties and organizing on site vendor activities. Natacha saw the need for a team player beyond her marketing role and parlayed her communication skills into a venue coordinator we all depended on. Natacha’s clear vision for the fan experience from the on sale to the event day made her a valuable team member. There is no doubt that Natacha gives her all in every task assigned to her. She has the ability to go beyond the expected outcome and pull together greatness that any organization can use to grow their business. Natacha would be my first and only choice for any event marketing management role. Natacha is graceful, smart and kind. I fully trust her ability to represent my organization and hope that you will do the same. Should you require any additional information from me, please contact me.”

“Working with Natacha was a breath of fresh air because she gets it. What sets Natacha apart is she is always looking at the big picture. Whether it's a concert or a special event, Natacha understands consumer behavior and was always open to exploring non-traditional, cross-channel marketing techniques in addition to our traditional techniques to ensure that our creative messaging was being served to the best potential consumers across the platforms they use most. It's hard not to have success when working with Natacha because she has a mind for marketing and is always ready and willing to explore new, cutting-edge ideas to improve the bottom line. She is a well-rounded marketing and communications professional, personable, humble, and the sky is the limit for her. I have the utmost respect for Natacha and would happily work with her again on any project.”

“As a potential employer of Natacha McLeod, I hope you'll take into consideration my experience in working with her over a recent period of six months and incorporate these words into your decision- making process. I truly enjoyed teaming with Natacha as the marketing "point person" for a Spring concert headlined by Alan Jackson at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. From the start when we first connected in preparation from the show's announcement and on-sale, she was attentive to detail...promptly found and responded to me with info and answers to any and all questions I had ...and was proactive in explaining and requesting any materials and info she needed from our team. Though the months and weeks that followed, she maintained contact ...sought out and came to me with marketing and media-related opportunities and updates ...and was receptive to ideas I provided to her. She demonstrated assertiveness and initiative in utilizing the "tools" we had on her end and ours to draw attention to the event throughout the on-sale period -I never had a concern that there was any "lag" or "downtime" in regard to people in the region being reminded of the concert and of how to find/purchase tickets. Even in the final weeks leading up to the event, Natacha proved well-equipped and completely willing to create a couple of "last minute" awareness promotions that no doubt propelled many people to attend the event. Natacha's approach to marketing this concert event was detailed, well-planned, executed as promised, and laced with creativity throughout. She demonstrated a fantastic ability and willingness to communicate throughout, and did so competently and - more importantly - effectively. She listens, but also brings ideas to the table - those traits combined to create opportunity ...and those opportunities no doubt made the concert a success. Again, I hope you'll take my words into consideration on Natacha's behalf. Itruly enjoyed my experience teaming with her to market the concert we worked on in St. Augustine.”

“Natacha and I worked together for two years at a music promotion company. Though we were in different departments, we collaborated on many projects. Natacha’s judgment and character was reflected in all of her work. As a younger professional, Natacha always sought improvement, and was available to help others, even if their work was not directly related to hers. If she did not know something, she asked questions and sought understanding. She was not satisfied unless her work was completed, and properly. I believe that Natacha has the character, intelligence and determination to succeed in any company she desires to work for.”
