Assistant to Brand Development

Megan Akin

What I do:

I am the Assistant to the Brand Development Team. My position includes typical assistant duties, such as organizing and managing samples, tracking packages, and keeping communications open and on track between internal teams and our factory partners. I’ve also taken on the task of hosting team meetings and keeping updated notes to share with our team. Additionally, I do a substantial amount of writing and editing for our team, content creation for social media, and manage our social media accounts and communications.

Fun Facts about Megan:

My favorite thing to eat is Super Fudge Brownie ice cream paired with French fries. This sweet and salty combination has a chokehold on my heart! I’m definitely a salt-oholic. I also can’t get through my day without a cup of coffee with way too much French Vanilla creamer in it, but it has to be the liquid kind. I started drinking coffee way too young, but I loved sitting down in the kitchen, sharing a cup of joe with my grandpa. We still do that to this day! My favorite holiday would be Christmas. One of my favorite parts about Christmas is the joy I can bring with my crazy tree-shaped hairstyles (I’ve got some pictures I can share, but my hair is sadly too short to recreate the style) and crazy-cat-lady Christmas sweaters. My mom also makes this amazing hashbrown casserole for Christmas morning breakfast that I can’t get enough of! Following that up with my grandma’s ham gravy with dinner makes for the perfect day of feasting. In my free time, I like to watch anything true crime, Gray’s Anatomy, and recently, Gotham. My husband has been getting me into a ton of superhero stuff. The Belle Aroma® product that I like the most is the new ScenTrio® Petite Wax Warmer. This product holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the first one finished and launched since I joined the team. I joined the team toward the end of the development phase, but I still had a small hand in this product. Be sure to check out the little feet on the bottom! Those were all me.
