This audience is responsible for critical decision-making, resource allocation, and setting the university’s long-term vision, so the document must convey complex information in a clear, compelling, and visually engaging way.

This well-crafted document reflects the institution’s professionalism, reinforces its brand, and highlights key metrics, goals, and strategic initiatives. By addressing the unique priorities of these stakeholders, such as financial stewardship, academic excellence, and institutional impact, the document helps to foster informed decisions that support the university’s mission and drive its success.

Product Launch Strategy

The Fence Alarm product launch strategy showcases a meticulously crafted approach to successfully introducing a new product to the market. This portfolio piece highlights my ability to develop and execute a comprehensive multi-channel campaign that drives awareness, engagement, and sales. Informed by in-depth market research and analysis, I established a precise brand positioning that ensured the product’s value proposition resonated with the target audience. By creating targeted messaging and tailored creative assets, I maximized the campaign’s impact across various channels, building a strong market presence and fostering long-term customer loyalty. This strategic launch not only achieved immediate sales goals but also positioned the product for enduring success in a competitive landscape.

Omnichannel Marketing Plan

I developed an omnichannel annual marketing plan for the Fence Alarm, crafted to significantly boost brand visibility and drive sales through a diverse array of customer touchpoints. The strategy integrates digital, social media, email, and in-store promotions, creating a cohesive brand experience across all channels. Starting with a deep dive into audience segmentation and market analysis, the plan tailors messaging and content to resonate with key customer demographics at every stage of their journey. It leverages inbound digital campaigns, including search engine marketing, social media ads, and re-targeting, to capture online interest, while personalized email marketing nurtures leads and converts them into customers. Complementing these efforts, in-store promotions and point-of-sale materials enhance the digital strategy, creating a unified brand presence that drives immediate purchases. With a robust analytics framework in place, the plan enables continuous optimization of tactics, ensuring maximum return on investment and sustained brand growth.

Retail Point of Sale Tool

The point-of-sale video was created to serve as a virtual sales associate, guiding customers through the features and benefits of the Fence Alarm product with engaging and informative content. It vividly demonstrates how the Fence Alarm enhances livestock safety and security by offering a reliable solution for monitoring and managing fencing systems. By showcasing the product’s ability to keep animals contained and protected, the video highlights the significant time and effort it saves for ranchers, farmers, and homeowners. This not only streamlines fence maintenance but also provides peace of mind, allowing users to focus on other critical aspects of their lives. The video’s emotional resonance and clear illustration of real-life benefits make it a powerful tool for driving customer engagement and converting interest into sales, solidifying the product’s impact in the market.

Developing a new brand, positioning, and voice for Proven Performance Solutions (PPS) was a dynamic venture driven by its team of seasoned executives, boasting over 75 years of expertise in revenue enhancement and lean manufacturing.

Crafting a brand voice that balanced sophistication with approachability, we aimed to resonate with a diverse client base, from Fortune 500 companies to emerging enterprises. Strategic messaging and a refined visual identity were developed to establish PPS as a trusted partner in business transformation, underscoring its dedication to growth through customized strategies and lean principles. This innovative brand foundation not only positioned PPS as an industry leader but also set the stage for its continued success and expansion.

Creative Execution & Project Management

At Kichler Lighting, my role as Creative Project Manager required extensive collaboration with teams across sales, R&D, marketing, research, product design, engineering, distribution, and C-level executives. I oversaw three key product lines, ensuring each project aligned seamlessly with the company’s strategic goals and market demands. My responsibilities included managing intricate project details while driving creative development from concept through execution. I played a pivotal role in designing and producing collateral, merchandising materials, and digital assets, ensuring all visual elements were cohesive and communicated the brand’s message effectively. By coordinating with multiple departments, I streamlined processes and delivered high-quality results on time and within budget, bridging the gap between creative vision and technical execution to enhance Kichler Lighting’s market presence and support its business objectives.

Packaging & Merchandising Refresh

Creating a new direction for Kichler’s exclusive product line at Lowe’s involved a transformative approach that significantly elevated the brand’s market presence. I led the development of a progressive creative direction that redefined the visual identity and enhanced the consumer experience by integrating sophisticated lifestyle imagery and dynamic packaging. This new visual strategy positioned Kichler as the premium brand at Lowe’s, setting it apart from competitors and appealing to aspirational customers. The carefully selected lifestyle imagery resonated with the target audience, showcasing how Kichler’s products could elevate their living spaces. Complemented by innovative, attention-grabbing packaging, this cohesive presentation reinforced Kichler’s reputation for quality and style, driving increased consumer preference and solidifying its leadership in the lighting industry.

Co-Marketing Programs

Effective Co-Marketing programs harness the power of brand synergy to create impactful campaigns that resonate with targeted end users. By partnering two Baltimore-based industry leaders—one specializing in wearable products and the other in building materials—the program capitalizes on their shared market interests to uncover new opportunities and optimize product placement. This strategic alliance fosters a seamless integration of promotions, merchandising, trade advertising, and trade events, ensuring a cohesive brand message across all channels. The combined strength of these brands not only amplifies their reach but also enhances customer engagement through innovative and well-coordinated marketing efforts. As a result, the program drives mutual growth, elevates brand visibility, and opens doors to fresh market prospects.
