EDMOND, Okla. — Petra Industries, the consumer technology authority and wholesale electronics distributor, is pleased to announce that Kelly Powers, Marketing Manager, has been selected as one of the honorees in the 2021 Dealerscope ‘40 Under 40’ publication.
‘40 Under 40’ is an annual issue that spotlights young, standout members of the national consumer electronics industry who have gone above and beyond in helping take the industry to a new level.
“Kelly has the remarkable ability to be dropped into any project, quickly learn the details, and then lead it to success,” said Josh Williams, Director of Marketing. “She’s a great leader and mentor for her teams. We’re very fortunate to have her at Petra!”
Powers has been with Petra since 2017. With a background in editing and advertising, her first role at Petra was oversight of its print publications—including collateral materials, sales fliers, and one of the companies final 1,400-plus-page catalogs.
“I am extremely grateful for the unique learning opportunities Petra has provided me and for those that nominated me for ‘40 Under 40’,” said Powers. “I’ve worn many hats in marketing, but ultimately my role is the convergence of sales and creative functions. Working hand-in-hand with both our manufacturer and reseller partners, I enjoy helping to create a smoother process of taking products to market and making sure products are represented at their best online.”
Realizing the potential of a digital-first approach to marketing, Powers helped the company transition to a primarily Ecommerce focus and stepped into the Marketing Manager position. Now, she is a major point of contact for Petra’s vendor partners and Ecommerce customers—helping each demographic to meet market expectations and find business solutions that work for them.
