Leading Intel's Consumer and Small Business Client Campaign integration efforts with our OEM and retail partners. Identifying the right products at the right place to drive the demand generation programs for Intel based products.

Shoppers are more savvy now - more than they have ever been. Creating retail campaigns that speak to shopper pain points and aspirations are critical to stand out in the sea of messages. Assisting the shopper with the right level of detail at the right point in their journey results in a better experience. Generating demand through relevant messages on appropriate media lead to greater rates of purchase conversion. Ultimately this helps reduce buyer remorse and build a more positive associate with their purchase. Customer loyalty is about long-term relationship trust and not about selling a product.

Small businesses who buy in Retail struggle to find a solution that best meets their needs. They may want the performance power of a gamer, plus the best in class connectivity of a mainstream consumer. Small businesses also need to keep their customers' data secure. Challenges made even more difficult without a team of IT experts to craft and support solutions. I created a marketing campaign for Retailer and OEM partners to use to reach this unique audience. Considering that small business tend to buy when they have a specific need, assets were created that served the buyer along multiple touchpoints, from social, to online (DOT.com) and traditional instore environments.

Shoppers want to purchase devices that meet their needs. Used research on existing retail approaches of omnichannel messaging and category segmentation to provide a POV on critical implementation elements. Created online brand landing page and instore zone templates. This enabled Retailers and OEMs a starting point to build their own unique shopping experience. Worked with agencies to create videos and animations to educate while entertaining.

Coverage in addition to regular job. Worked closely with Best Buy PC Consumer PC marketing team to strategize and implement a promotional campaign to educate mainstream consumers on the shopper value due to the latest advancements with Intel platforms, processors, and adjacent technologies.
