Responsible for developing, executing, overseeing and delivering digital marketing and advertising strategies for Your Home Digital and all affiliates to ultimately increase growth and revenue. Within just a couple of months working in this position, the stakeholders of Your Home Digital decided to move forward with offering marketing services as a vertical within the company to each of their clients. To do this, we offer the creation, management and promotion of B2B, B2C and B2B2C campaigns. In this client facing position, my business development experience has been significantly utilized by meeting with each of the potential clients to assess their individualized needs in order to custom-build an integrated approach and personalized budget. By leveraging analytics and optimizations of paid media and search engine management, I then present a thoroughly researched marketing and brand strategy. Moving forward, while establishing long term relationships spanning over multiple brands and national clients, I continually analyze data to reassess and adjust accordingly while still staying current on each clients specific needs, keeping them informed and updated on: any timed schedule for release of new content, any changes or improvements to the plan progress, and any adjustments of their goals as necessary.

Responsible for improving the design, usability, content and conversion points of each company's website for the promotion and growth of the company's web properties. In my previous position, I managed a team on site at the Ann Arbor Google branch where I had the opportunity to manage a myriad of various clients in developing and enacting strategies for online marketing accounts which are designed to improve the performance and return on investment. This includes optimization of existing accounts and revenue-based budget increases. I worked with many different business types and assisted agencies with existing clients, as well as, bringing on a new client base. I learned how to develop a plan based on real world ROI and then set up conversions to reflect that return. I have the ability to look at an account and know what improvements will bring the highest return immediately as well as long term. Lowering the cost-per conversion is one of the primary goals for most ecommerce companies, however, each business has their own unique goals that I target to bring the largest return. My revenue sustainability throughout my time so far has been 12 1 %. This is due to the fact that I am able to display genuine quality advertising that produces undiscovered value which ultimately reimburses itself.
Responsible for managing all brand communications through digital channels, setting up, selling and executing a vision, from delivering stand-alone projects to integrated campaigns, developing brand presence, tracking online and delivering brand email.

Responsible for developing, executing and delivering the company's digital / online marketing strategy, planning and budget to include online, new media, web, e-commerce and SEO to drive the business forwards through key marketing channels. While working with this small business, my objective was to grow a company from a little unrenowned group into a distinguished and reputable local company. Our concentration was targeting specific areas such as inside the Cornelius/Concord area of North Carolina. Within two years, the business grew to the point, that the owner was contacted and given the option to sell. The difficulty working with this small company was defining their client conversion rate. Initially, we started with website call as conversions, calls from the ads, and contact form submissions. We then tuned the account every few weeks, eliminating keywords that were consistently yielding little to no conversions in order to focus the account to the more profitable conversions. Next, we bid more aggressively on those keywords that were converting more competitively and developed new ads and landing pages to accompany those keywords. This is what ultimately helped us to achieve the highest quality score and decrease the overall cost-per-click.
