We are pleased to announce the newest member of the Fujisan Marketing team, Maddie Hanses. We sat down with Maddie to learn more about her background in digital marketing as well as her hobbies outside of the workplace.

Tell us about your Search Marketing background prior to joining Fujisan Marketing.

I graduated from the University of Puget Sound in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Communication studies and a minor in German studies.

Prior to joining the Fujisan team, I worked on in-house SEO, organic social media campaigns, and other co-branded partnership marketing initiatives for a tech start up.

Why do you love digital marketing?

I love digital marketing because I love solving problems – both from the perspectives of providing a service or product solution to the end-user and working with a business to understand their goals and figure out how we can get them there.

How do you feel about being a professional in our industry?

I am very excited to fully dive into the marketing industry because I enjoy learning new things.

In this space, things are constantly changing and evolving, which means there will never be a shortage on the things I can learn and absorb.

What are some hobbies that you really enjoy?

I enjoy reading, writing, traveling, hiking, and almost anything outdoors – I mean the PNW is beautiful!

Where is your next big vacation?

Traveling is very important to me – I recently returned from a two-month long trip to Frankfurt, Germany to learn about my ancestry and refresh my language skills. I plan to visit Germany again in 2025 or 2026!

Until then, I am focusing more on domestic travel. My next vacation is to New Orleans for a Taylor Swift concert.
