BEND, Ore., March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Changes in the current real estate market demand an enhanced level of marketing expertise and leadership to strategically guide brokers to continued market success.

Dreher will be responsible for creating a full-service in-house marketing department.

Cascade Sotheby's welcomes Eve Dreher as its Director of Marketing & Creative Services for all of its Pacific Northwest operations. Dreher, who most recently was the vice president of global communications at Starwood Hotels & Resorts, now moves to Oregon bringing vast experience in communications, marketing and branding disciplines to the prestigious Cascade Sotheby's brand.

Throughout her career, Dreher has provided communications and marketing consulting and coaching to luxury brands in the travel, hospitality and lifestyle categories. Dreher has also held corporate communications leadership positions in Colorado with Coors Brewing Company and First Data.

Dreher is hailed as a connector, strategic collaborator and executive communication strategist leading innovation and cultural change in the midst of markets-in-transition. She joins the Cascade Sotheby's executive leadership team and will be responsible for the organization's next stage of growth including market development and leveraged marketing opportunities to support brokers and their clients.

"Eve's reputation as a collaborative and creative leader preceded her move to Oregon—and we feel fortunate to welcome her as our marketing lead on our executive leadership team," says Deb Tebbs, founder and chief operating officer, Cascade Sotheby's International Realty. "We are ecstatic that Eve fits all our qualifications to lead us to the next level—and the fact she has joined the Cascade Sotheby's family is a huge score."

Dreher will guide marketing and communications strategy and development of high-quality, richly-illustrated and engaging content across multiple platforms. In addition to ensuring an extraordinary customer experience, driving innovation and directing marketing and branding strategy Dreher leads a team of Cascade Sotheby's marketing specialists who manage web and digital marketing, graphic design and publications, public relations, broker services, engagement and onboarding.

"Her creativity and expertise translate beautifully to the Sotheby's experience of buying and selling a home."

Tebbs was the first on the West Coast to secure a Sotheby's International Realty franchise to launch in Central Oregon in 2006. In 2015, she was awarded the franchise for Cascade Sotheby's International Realty brokerages in Portland, Lake Oswego, SW Washington and the Oregon and SW Washington Coast. Portland is the last metro market in the nation for a Sotheby's International Realty real estate presence. Tebbs has also now expanded her illustrative farm and ranch division to include Oregon vineyard listings.
