Senior Communications Advisor
CurrentIn this position, I lead on the Inclusive Workplaces national advertising campaign. Currently in its fifth year, the campaign builds on the government of Canada’s commitment to improve inclusion and financial security of Canadians with disabilities.I am responsible for the development of the campaign (planning, research, liaising with stakeholders), the execution (including working with internal and external stakeholders), and the final measurement to ensure we have met our communications and marketing objectives. I am the main point of contact with other federal departments, external suppliers, senior management, and other partners. I collaborate with them regularly to ensure the project moves according to set deadlines and expectations. I also manage a Communications Advisor, giving guidance, feedback and support to allow them to excel in their role.I also lead on the Micro-Campaigns file, a multi-project dossier that covers all internal advertising buys under $25k. As lead on this file, I developed a strategic way forward to ensure clients can maximize their advertising budgets even on a small scale. I presented this strategy to managers across the department and the plan was also shared with senior management. In addition to the development of the file, I also led on each of the individual campaigns, giving advice, directing the execution, and performing final measurement to ensure alignment with objectives. As the project grew, I trained a team of three to support in the operations of this file, which included the adoption of internal Google Ad buys - a first for this department.
