Freelance & Consulting Services
Need marketing help? Here’s what I can do for you.
Marketing Strategy
Have you set your goals for this week? This month this year? How will you achieve them? What’s your estimated ROI? I do the research, analysis, and ideation to help you create strategic marketing plans that you can actually execute against. My planning for the launch and promotion of The Strategic Momentum Podcast lead an exceedance by 200% of the annual download goal.
Copywriting
Need copy for ads, web pages, social media, product labels or scripts? You got it. My writing expertise and ability to adapt to nearly any writing style means you get the best content that aligns with your brand voice. At Icing On The Ring, I introduced a new brand voice that was disseminated across internal and external communication materials, reaching tens of thousands of website visitors and customers.
Website Design
Need a new website, a few new pages, or a campaign landing page? I do it all. I use Adobe Creative Suite to design creative, neat, and on-brand web pages that are strategically developed to drive site visitors to complete desired actions. One of my favorite projects was designing the new product pages for Icing On The Ring’s engagement ring collection. Second to that was designing the landing page for the American Fine Wine Association’s rosé event after party.
Design
Need social media posts, flyers, banners, book covers, website graphics, etc.? My eye for clean, balanced design and aptitude for strategic visual communication will get you there. I’ve designed everything from magazine ads for a national magazine and floor banners for The American Fine Wine Association to infographics for websites and greeting cards. My digital work has even been published on Inc.com and Forbes.
Social Media
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkedin, you name it. I’ll help curate media, create content, write catchy headers, and drive clicks. And if you need it, I’ll help you set up your profiles and make sure they’re aligned with your brand identity, brand voice, and brand values. That’s how I helped Vocus increase their social following (already at 400K) by 10% in a few months, and grown Flywheel Associate’s clout to what it is today.
Proposal Writing
My skills in writing, data, strategy, and design combine to create compelling proposals that win clients. Whether you want it as a document or presentation, I’ll create the proposal of your dreams -- from mission and purpose statements, goals, services, work samples, budgets, and timelines. At the Gigawatt Group, I was responsible for the proposal that won FedEx as our new client (and I got to lead that project!).
Reporting & Analytics
Don’t believe it’s working until you see the numbers? Same here. That’s why I minored in Business Analytics and the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business. I’m trained in analyzing data in specific relation to business outcomes. I’ll dive deep into your website, social media and campaign data to discover insights, draw out trends and spot areas of improvement. I’ll condense my findings into coherent, actionable reports that you’ll want to refer to again and again.
Video and Photography
Need captivating visual content? When I travel, you’ll seldom find me without a camera in hand. I love capturing the word. I’ll help take photos or videos of products, employees, offices, services, and edit using Adobe tools to create the visual story you’ve been dying to tell. My travel photos have even been purchased as stock photos on Alamy.
Project Management
Need help structuring your workflow and want someone to keep you, your project, and your team on task? Call me. My communication, organization and leadership skills shine when I’m overseeing a project from conception to execution. From overseeing a website build for the Red Cross to managing a video series for the World Bank, I get things done.
Branding
(One of my favorites to work on.) Have a new business or business idea but don’t know how to get the word out? I’ll help you create your brand identity, establish your brand voice, create your brand promise and mission, set up your website and business cards, and get you started on your marketing strategy, all in one. That’s what I did for my dad’s company, Maryland Ranger Services, and he couldn’t be happier.
Blogging and Ghostwriting
Have a story that needs to be told, a method that needs explaining, an opinion that needs to be shared -- but you’re not the right person to do the writing? You’re in good hands. I can write up a storm on any topics you’d like, complete with SEO and graphics. Articles I’ve written appear on Arianna Huffington’s Thrive.com, among other outlets. My own travel blog has been featured several times in the international blog by multi-million dollar travel company StudentUniverse.
Presentations & Documents
Whether it’s a new deck for Slideshare, an e-book, an employee handbook, or a company slideshow, I’ll distill videos, speeches, lessons and other large bodies of text, into digestible, sharable pieces of content. I outline, write, and design. I’ve turned podcast episodes into15-page summary decks that have gotten more than 800 views on Slideshare.
Digital Advertising
Ready to put some money behind your promotion strategy? Good choice. I’ll help you define campaign goals, develop campaign personas, write copy and design ads to attract your target audience. And then I’ll launch and monitor performance across strategic channels, including Facebook/Instagram Ads, Twitter Ads, Pinterest Ads, Linkedin Ads, and Google AdWords. Every campaign comes with complete documentation, weekly reviews, and in-depth reporting and analysis.
Client Services & Account Management
Need someone to manage outgoing communication with your clients, guests, or sponsors? Leave it to me. I’ll make sure your contacts know they’re being taken care of. At the Gigawatt Group, I managed up to 12 accounts at a time, serving as POC, running weekly meetings, and seeing their projects through to completion.
Email Marketing
Using Hubspot, MailChimp, or the marketing service of your choice, I’ll help you create email marketing workflows that aim to delight, not annoy, your audience. I’ll write the copy, design the graphics, create the scheduling strategy, and manage your lists. Since launching the Strategic Momentum Podcast monthly newsletter in 2017, we’ve seen an open rate near 35% (the national average is 18.1%) with minimal unsubscribes.
Consulting
Maybe you don’t need any one service specifically, but you’d love help on figuring out how you can grow your business or brand on a holistic level. We can set up a time (or a few times) to meet and discuss, and I will help you find the right path to success. I helped my friend Michelle plan the launch of her own digital marketing agency and she’s now working with clients worldwide!
