Marketing

I've worked in marketing and communications roles for technology companies, media and events companies, agencies and nonprofits. I'm a marketing generalist, with expertise in content/writing, customer/partner campaigns and event marketing. I'm comfortable with the "get it done," scrappy start-up world -- having been employee number five at as SaaS startup -- and adept at navigating multi-national, matrixed organizations. Below is a selection of my work. References and further examples available upon request.

Branding

I've worked on and led branding and rebranding efforts for a variety of companies, products and events. My breadth of experience includes conducting market and competitive research, creating brand positioning and core messaging, working with creative teams and outside vendors to develop the brand's personality and look-and-feel, managing the brand's launch and monitoring and managing the brand over time. I've worked on both the strategic and tactical level -- working to create the overall brand positioning and helping to bring it life through website creation (Wordpress is my friend!), input on logo design and more

Integrated marketing launch campaign design and execution.

Website Design and Redesigns

I've created, launched and redesigned countless websites. Along with being the first line of tech support when something goes wrong. (At a startup, there is no tech support for marketing. I learned to love WPEngine.) I have:

Interviewed stakeholders and developed requirements.

Technology Marketing

I've launched multiple products and events, creating and executing integrated campaigns that combined multiple channels to build awareness and generate leads. I worked with product on market fit and positioning, sales on pricing and collateral needs and marketing and design on creation, execution and analysis. Campain elements included email campaigns, micro-sites, video, landing pages, one-sheets, social campaigns and more.

Digital: Landing pages, microsites, etc.

I've created microsites, landing pages, and digital and social ad campaigns to drive lead generation and sales. I tested and promoted new products and services, analyzing, reporting and making adjustments based on results.

Email Campaigns

I regularly wrote, designed and sent email campaigns focusing on product launches, training and other initiatives. I also have experience with marketing automation, having designed personalized email campaigns based on product behavior. Select Platforms: Marketo, Tout, Constant Contact, MailChimp and SugarCRM

Ebooks & Whitepapers

Ebooks, white papers and articles were an important part of our product marketing mix. We used the content to build our reputations as thought leaders, while generating leads by offering useful, relevant content.

One-sheets, Ads & Decks

I've produced scores of marketing collateral, including product one-sheets, print and digital ads, sales decks and keynote presentations.

Communications & Content

Over the years, my editorial instinct and nose for a good story have helped me build and nurture brands I worked for. At Immersa Marketing, an experiential agency now part of FreemanXP, I wrote whitepapers, ghost wrote interviews and articles for executives, managed the launch and production of blogs, and websites, along with countless short form pieces -- press releases, article pitches and web copy and more. In fact, one of my pitches resulted in press coverage for Champion Exposition Services in USA Today. At Conteneo, I wrote both short and long form content, including the company's core positioning through two relaunches, monthly newsletters, blog posts, product sales sheets and lead the company's social media content development. I also handled communications and PR, landing coverage in such media sites as Businessweek, the Financial Times and the San Jose Mercury News. Samples and references provided upon request.

Newsletters & Blog Posts

I produced monthly newsletters and frequent blog posts, writing customer stories and product updates, editing features and curating content from the Conteneo Collaboration Architect community.

Communications & PR

I have handled communications and PR for a creative agency, the Every Voice Engaged Foundation, two startups and a variety of other clients. I've managed outreach/recruitment, press relations/pitches and more.

Customer Stories

I regularly interviewed customers and partners to find out about how they were using our products and services and to discover market opportunities. Content produced included case studies, testimonials, feature articles, interviews, web copy and more.
