I created a unique Daily Game contest that kept listeners coming back to our site day after day (and often gave us the highest "stickiness" stats of any Citadel Network site). And I created a "Black Friday" web promotion that in a single day nearly brought as many page hits as in one month. New media experience also included editing and uploading podcast features and mobile/texting administration for our format. I was personally responsible for writing, scheduling, and sending unique text content that resulted in tens of thousands of text impressions to listeners. I worked closely with provider mSnap to implement my idea of national listeners simply "texting their area code" to get local content text blasts. They did not have a method of texting targeted local information to nationwide listeners at that point, and mSnap offered that coding method to other clients.Part of a mass layoff of Citadel employees, entire fulltime AC staff in the Dallas building.
