Meet Rachel Bustamante-Guades, Marketing Assistant for BMG
Rachel Bustamante-Guades is one of our talented marketing assistants for Bay Property Management Group. She works for our Baltimore office and has been with us for three years now.

She’s been working in the property management industry for four years now.

A Day in the Life of Rachel
Rachel starts her day bright and early at 5:30 AM with coffee before anything else. Then, she starts with her daily work tasks, like checking emails and responding to any urgent messages. Next, she reviews the day’s schedule and prioritizes her tasks. Some of her main responsibilities throughout each day as a marketing assistant include the following:
- Use marketing analytics tools to gather data on the performance of marketing campaigns.
- Generate reports from marketing analytics tools.
- Create web page edits and collaborate with web developers to implement changes and improvements.
- Assist with email marketing campaigns and newsletters.
- Monitor Google Business profiles.
- Manage citations to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the company’s profile from external sources.
- Stay updated on marketing trends and tools by reading industry blogs, attending webinars, or participating in relevant courses.
- Other administrative tasks to help the marketing team succeed.
As you can see, Rachel has a number of tasks. However, her favorite of the job is seeing that the efforts of the marketing team provide a significant and positive impact on the company.
When asked if anything has surprised Rachel about working in this industry, she says:
“Absolutely. It’s remarkable how the marketing landscape is constantly evolving, and sometimes, we have limited control over these changes. To stay ahead in this dynamic environment, continuous learning and staying updated with industry trends is essential.”
One thing that she wishes more people knew about her job is that although it can be a routine kind of work, marketing assistants aren’t just responsible for routine or administrative tasks. Instead, they are integral team members who contribute to the success of marketing campaigns and the company’s brand image.
