As a general manager I directed the reorganization and expansion of our creative services practice; rebuilt the corporate web site to drive more sales leads; and expanded the use of analytics for planning and day-to-day decision making. In partnership with sales enablement teams, my marketing group contributed ~$300M in annual new business with growth marketing campaigns. Our podcasts, videos, data visualizations and ebooks built awareness and favorability with 30M+ prospects and clients. New paid search and SEO practices drove repeat visits and increased awareness of our products and services.
