Strategic and tactical ownership of all customer acquisition efforts including Paid Social, Influencer Marketing, Paid Search, Display, Content Marketing, Affiliate, and Direct Mail. Focus was on growing the acquisition portfolio and rapidly increasing the subscriber base as well as brand building. Managed multi-million dollar acquisition budget to 100% YOY spend and 60% YOY subscriber growth while exceeding CAC target by 25%. Maintained a minumum of 4X CAC/LTV ratio. Launched, developed, and monetized CRM channels including Email, SMS, Browser Push and Onsite Customer Touch-Points. Focus was on increasing ARPU, raising LTV, and increasing retention. I believe in investing in two areas, human capital and data. Personal development and team growth are key to any sucessful marketing executive. I focused on developing team leads for Influencer Marketing, Content Production, SEO, Organic Social and Community Engagement. I also worked to increase effectiveness of contractors and thus the improved our outsourced services value the areas of Design, SEM and Affiliate Marketing. No performance marketer can operate blindly. Data is the light that guides the way for marketing initiatives. I worked with the developement team to impliment a custom first party revenue attribution solution. Initially using pure SQL and later Looker BI, I created and owned all performance KPI's as well as BI dashoards and visualizations for Marketing and CRM.

I lead a team of data driven marketers focused on all paid marketing initiatives geared primarily towards subscriber acquisition, LTV analysis, payback optimizations and revenue forecasting. We don’t claim to be data driven, we are data driven. SQL sessions daily are mandatory and we prefer to live in Redshift vs farm out our data needs internally or externally. We start with data, apply it to direct response marketing channels, analyze successes, overcome challenges; rinse and repeat. Subscribers are the lifeblood to our business, our community is everything to us. This approach has made our team an integral part to the success of Brad’s Deals; managing huge acquisition budgets effectively and providing direction to the marketing team. Up and to the right!
