It is my pleasure to recommend Naomi Grandison. During her time as Business Development & Communications Manager and Marketing Manager for Legends Global at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, Naomi quickly established herself as one of the most talented, adaptable, and creative professionals I have had the privilege of working with.

 

The Los Angeles Equestrian Center is a unique and complex operation. It is a 75-acre event and equestrian destination in Griffith Park, home to more than 500 horses, dozens of annual horse shows, public ticketed events, sponsorship programs, film productions, community gatherings, private events, and corporate functions. Supporting and promoting an operation of this scale requires a broad skill set, exceptional organization, creativity, and the ability to manage multiple

priorities simultaneously. Naomi brought all those qualities and more.

 

When I hired Naomi, I was searching for someone with a rare combination of skills: graphic design, marketing strategy, social media management, website administration, email marketing, communications, public relations support, and project management. More importantly, I needed someone who could step into a fast-paced environment with minimal onboarding, take ownership of critical responsibilities immediately, and elevate our efforts from day one. Naomi exceeded every expectation.

 

She joined our team during one of the busiest periods of the year, with major horse shows, public ticketed events, sponsorship activations, and year-end marketing initiatives already underway. There was little opportunity for a traditional transition period. Instead, Naomi immersed herself in the work, rapidly learning the nuances of our business while simultaneously managing website updates, email campaigns, social media content, sponsorship deliverables, media opportunities, signage design, advertising campaigns, and communications projects.

 

Naomi immediately identified opportunities to strengthen our marketing systems, streamline administrative processes, and elevate the quality of our brand presentation. Working within the realities of a city-owned facility with limited marketing resources, she consistently found innovative solutions that delivered professional, high-quality results. She developed templates and systems that improved efficiency across multiple departments, created automated marketing campaigns that will continue generating value for years to come, and brought a level of consistency and professionalism to our communications that significantly enhanced our public image.

 

Her contributions had a measurable impact. During her tenure, we experienced notable growth in private event lead generation, social media engagement, audience reach, and overall marketing effectiveness. She played a key role in strengthening awareness of the Los Angeles Equestrian Center as both an equestrian destination and a unique community gathering place. Her efforts helped reinforce our message that horse shows, community events, and equestrian experiences

are welcoming and accessible to everyone.

 

One of Naomi’s greatest strengths is her ability to combine creativity with strategic thinking. She does not simply create attractive marketing materials; she understands the objectives behind

them. Whether designing signage intended to increase visibility from a busy roadway, developing content that drives audience engagement, or crafting messaging that supports business development goals, she approaches every project with purpose, professionalism, and intention.

 

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Naomi is simply an outstanding person to work with. As a small team responsible for multiple divisions—including business development, communications, marketing, sponsorships, public relations, and event sales—we work closely together every day. Throughout that time, I have found her to be collaborative, thoughtful, dependable, and solutions oriented. She is receptive to feedback, eager to learn, and unafraid to offer new ideas or challenge assumptions when she believes there is a better path forward. Those qualities are invaluable in any organization.

 

What stands out most about Naomi, however, is her character. Technical skills can be taught, but integrity, curiosity, initiative, and a genuine commitment to excellence are far more difficult to find. Naomi approaches her work with enthusiasm, pride, and a sincere desire to make a meaningful impact. She cares deeply about the organizations she serves, the people she works with, and the quality of everything she produces. Whether leading a major campaign, supporting

a community event, or helping navigate an unexpected challenge, she consistently shows up with a positive attitude, a collaborative spirit, and a willingness to go above and beyond. Those qualities have made her not only a valued member of our team, but someone I have come to trust and rely upon immensely.

 

Naomi possesses the rare combination of creativity, initiative, adaptability, professionalism, and heart that organizations spend years trying to find. She has the ability to contribute immediately, build meaningful relationships, strengthen brands, solve complex challenges, and drive measurable results. Any company fortunate enough to add her to their team will gain a talented marketer, a strategic communicator, a trusted colleague, and a leader with tremendous potential for continued growth and success.

 

I recommend Naomi without hesitation and with my highest level of confidence. She has been an invaluable part of our success, and I know she will make the same positive impact wherever her career takes her next.
