Liaison between Inner Circle Management and the various marketing companies we were contracted with. Coordinated the implementation of many aspects of the approved marketing plan, ranging from development, completion and submission of print ads, collateral, online ads, and internet marketing for all hotels under management. Throughout my tenure, these tasks were completed on time, met or exceeded quality expectations and were delivered at the best price possible, for all hotels in our portfolio, which at one time numbered as high as 24. In 2010, we brought the internet marketing in house, and I became responsible for overseeing our PPC campaigns. Despite a shrinking budget we maintained a relatively strong SEO presence throughout 2010 and 2011. In 2012, our focus on the internet marketing was narrowed to just The Plaza Resort & Spa's production. Determined to do more than just maintain presence, we fine tuned our efforts yet again, which by the end of my tenure on September 30th, 2012, had resulted in a significant increase in the website's conversion rate, and boosted PPC revenues by almost 84%, over that same period (January -September), of the previous year.Additionally I worked with our Web & Graphics Designer with the creation of websites, landing pages, and content management on our websites including www.BookDaytona.com and later on, www.HighPointPlaza.com.
