About

My name is James Townsend, and I am an aspiring brand manager, marketer, athlete, and leader.

As a student, I am working on my BS in Business Administration, with a concentration in Sports Business and Marketing at the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon. I am also a member of the Clark Honors College, where I am writing an undergraduate thesis on the use of Black and White Coloring in Sports Marketing. I have found my passion in dreaming up ideas for creative marketing and content creation.

As an athlete, I am a member of the Oregon Men’s Lacrosse team, where I am a starter and leader on the defensive side of the ball. Yes, the same one that is almost all of my portfolio. Having the opportunity to not only play the sport I love, but also promote my team on social media has been huge for helping me to find my passion in marketing.

In my free time, I value time with friends, reading, working out, and watching sports. I’ve completed a marathon and triathlon, and hope to finish more.
