Digital Strategy & Marketing Project Management

​

I led a team of top-tier marketing specialists to execute a digital marketing strategy for the premier equestrian roadside assistance brand in the market today. I was directly responsible for ensuring that marketing materials met quality standards and were delivered on time. I maintained cohesive messaging throughout paid social, organic social, email, and SEM. 

​

Alongside my marketing team, we developed and executed A/B tests, created audience personas, managed six-figure paid media budgets, and achieved 10% YoY customer growth.

A Home For Every Horse: 
Not-For-Profit Marketing
Organic Social Strategy & Execution


A Home For Every Horse is an effort of the Equine Network Foundation, a not-for-profit. I created the organic marketing strategy for A Home For Every Horse and executed it. I increased how active the social media profiles were, posting at least 5x per week. I gathered UGC from followers and launched a month-long UGC campaign on social. 

​

The UGC campaign highlighted the impact of the not-for-profit, increased our social following, and increased the number of participating horse rescues.

​

The results were astounding:

23% increase in horse rescues joining the A Home For Every Horse organization

31% Increase in horse adoptions

500+% Increase in organic social engagement across all profiles

Equine.com:
Online Marketplace
Email & Content Marketing


Equine.com is an online marketplace to buy & sell horses. By leading a small team of interns, we added a blog and re-vamped the newsletter. The blog provided content for the newsletter, increased SEO, and was another reason for consumer to visit the site. 

​

By adding a blog, I was able to gather additional consumer behavior data that was imported into the CRM for use in personalizing the newsletter.

​

We optimized the layout and content of the newsletter with multiple A/B tests which eventually increased the email open rate to 49 and website traffic by 12.7%
