Mike Giles, SEMA YEN Member of the Month, January 2012

Mike Giles – SuperFlow Technologies Group

This month’s interview is with Mike Giles, Marketing Manager with SuperFlow Technologies Group headquartered in Des Moines, IA.

Mike, a graduate of the University of Iowa, has worked for SuperFlow Technologies Group, as it is called today - in some way, shape or form since he was 6 years old. At the present, Mike’s main job functions include a whole array of marketing functions, but above all it is his responsibility to manage SuperFlow’s brands and their respective images. Mike also oversees SuperFlow’s web developer and graphic designer, plans the tradeshows and make sure they happen without issue, coordinates the advertising schedule and budget, organizes email blasts, and writes press releases, newsletters and ad copy. “We’re a small company so we’re all asked to go above and beyond our core responsibilities, for me that is usually some minor IT work or building maintenance projects or anything else that needs some extra attention.”

What is your role at company and how many years there?
My current position is Marketing Manager and I have had that position since March of 2011. I’ve worked in the Marketing department since I graduated in May of 2009. Prior to that I’ve held positions ranging from lawn maintenance at age 6, to parts runner, to janitor. My dad was very clear when I was young that he wanted my brothers and me to be involved in his company if we chose to, but that like anyone else we would start at the bottom and work our way up.

SEMA Sets July 13th as “Collector Car Appreciation Day”

in
The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) Councils this year announced July 13, 2012 as “Collector Car Appreciation Day.”  The date marks the third commemoration in what has become an annual event to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.  SEMA and its councils are again working to secure a Congressional resolution to recognize the day’s significance.  The industry endeavors to preserve our nation’s automotive heritage while providing well-paying, high-skilled jobs nationwide.  Collector Car Appreciation Day is a singular tribute to the collector car industry and the millions of hobbyists it supports.
