Website Development & Brand Update
Biteable.com

The new website features a looping video, clear messaging, CTAs and social proof that presents a modern, and refreshed look to support the new branding direction of the company.

iOS App Development: Slower Shutter - A Long Exposure Calculator for Photographers
Personal Project
Released 07/09/2014
Download from iTunes
Slower Shutter - a long exposure calculator for photographers is a personal project of mine that has now been featured twice in iTunes Photography for Professionals collections.
Slower Shutter is the long exposure calculator that is a must-have for any landscape photographer who is shooting with ND filters to slow down the movement in their photo.
Simply enter the shutter speed for an exposure without a ND filter and then select the strength of your ND filter. Slower Shutter will then calculate the shutter speed for the correct long exposure time for up to 16 stops of ND.
Slower Shutter is now available for iPhone X.

SEO & Content Marketing
Work project
October 2015
Prior to my joining PicMonkey, the company was lacking a solid SEO and Content Marketing strategy. Within 45 days, the content strategy that I rolled out began to pay dividends by steadily getting additional keywords indexed and ranking for the company.
Result: Significant increase in the number of keywords indexed which in turn increased organic traffic. To get the same volume of traffic from paid search would have cost over $50,000 per month.

Paid Search Lead Generation

Throughout 2016
Driving leads through paid search requires a measured and diligent approach to monitor campaign performance against spend to ensure a positive ROI. In 2016, I set the strategy and managed an agency team of five marketers to increase the number of leads an average of 11% MoM.
Result: Consistent increase in leads which lead to higher revenue during the period.

Localization & Conversion Rate Optimization

I was responsible for determining the international rollout strategy for the company's first non-English site content.

Once launched, my team optimized the user experience to improve the conversion rate.
Result: Traffic increased dramatically to the localized site and through testing, we were able to increase the conversion rate as well.

Result: I was able to bring people together and work towards a common goal. Together, we were able to increase our organic traffic and ultimately, increase revenue for the company.

Enterprise Lead Generation
Lynda.com
2013
I was asked to manage the B2B enterprise lead generation at Lynda.com with the goal of improving team structure, reporting and accountability. Additionally, it was imperative to re-establish trust between marketing and sales that the leads being sent over were qualified. I used data & analytics to move primary lead source to the Web instead of 3rd party lead providers by showing the long-term value of a lead by source.
Result: Marketing qualified leads (MQL) increased 48% YoY and exceeded quota by 156%

Photoshop 25th Anniversary Tribute Microsite
Lynda.com & Adobe
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Adobe Photoshop, Lynda.com wanted to pay tribute to this industry icon that has been at the heart of the online learning platform's success. I was asked to lead an incredibly talented team to give the project traction and see it through from concept to launch. I worked closely with Scott Erickson, the visionary storyteller and video maker to refine and focus the story. We partnered with Lynda.com's Creative Director Paul Huber and agency 97th Floor to build the microsite. Melody Misiaszek served as our Executive Producer. Overall, there were more than three dozen internal stakeholders across content, production, engineering, creative, acquisition, engagement and product marketing. The microsite received over 2M unique visits in the first 30 days and was lauded by the Adobe CEO.
The microsite has since been removed from Lynda.com's site, but you can watch the videos here.
Code Drives the World
Lynda.com
January 2015
Coding isn't just for engineers. Whatever it is you do, learning a little code can help you do it better. That was the concept I came up with to create a content marketing piece to promote the Developer education segment at Lynda.com. Through a collaboration with five other stakeholders in the organization, we identified a number of coding courses that non-engineers would benefit from regardless of their place in a company.
Get a job. No seriously, it's time.

Ten Programming Languages to Know
