The first thing you’ll notice about Haily Tift is her beaming smile. It’s not just the smile of a local kid living out her dream of working for her hometown team, it’s one of fulfillment for the important work that she takes so much pride in executing. As the Mariners’ senior activation specialist, Tift is the day-to-day contact between brands and the team. She works directly with sponsorship teams to collaborate on activations throughout the stadium and around the city. Since she discovered her passion for marketing and storytelling through cheering on college sports, Tift has loved every minute of the journey.
