SELECTED WORK HISTORY

SVP MOBILE

3Q DIGITAL

  • Created first in US agency partnerships with two MMP vendors 
  • As part of the SLT and Growth Labs Teams, formulated the direction for mobile beyond app downloads. 3Q is a 100% data driven Performance Media agency
  • As part of the Growth Labs and SLT contributed to overall direction of the company through thought leadership writing
  • Led the first non DR campaign for the company within mobile (exceeded internal benchmarks by 400%-800%). Included market sizing, determining budget based on market, reach and frequency goals. Research tools used included Global Web Index (GWI) and Comscore
  • Created a market test model to provide a flat response across all advertising partners. This was done to work around the inherent limitations of iOS 14.5 (e.g., 1 day attribution window for FB and Apple’s 7 day click attribution). This model provided a true view of how paid performed against organic. The model also included the following: An A/B testing program to determine what creative provided the highest lift. A 1-1 comparison of how different advertising partners performed. 
  • Introduced vendors to the wider teams that would drive our growth initiatives (e.g., creative production, brand measurement, and a move from strict Performance Media [e.g., SEO, SEM, app downloads] to upper funnel tactics)
  • Researched, designed and implemented loyalty program for Foot Joy. Work included segmentation/personas (using GWI), tactics that will resonate with target personas, and editorial calendar based on psychographics of the golfer at different times of the year
  • Wrote POV’s for numerous clients on what SDK’s and measurement partners they should use for their mobile application environment.

PRINCIPAL MARKETING CONSULTANT

THE COLLECTIVE FACTORY

  • Developed DR strategy for following channels  for OneMain Financial (I.e., DR TV, Email, Display) which included market sizing, budgeting, planning, buying, implementation and measurement. Frequency was capped to an optimal 3.5 impressions over a 30 day period
  • Ran DR campaigns for Lending Club which included market sizing, budgeting, creative, attribution models, content marketing, and reporting. Weekly reporting was provided with a constant 365 day look back to best determine ongoing budgeting needs based on historical patterns. Pivot tables with a weekly data refresh automated much of the reporting turning an onerous task into a 1-2 hour work flow. Optimization eventually led to the need to do upper funnel activities to generate enough lower funnel volume. Market testing was used to determine the proper budgeting for this activity
