I was responsible for all marketing projects for this marketing research consultancy for Fortune 100 companies. I designed and developed marketing collateral for sales teams, advised on the website, provided guidance on new client reporting needs, and was responsible for brand consistency throughout the company.After conducting a brand refresh as an independent consultant my work morphed into a position within the company. In that job, I developed/designed a visual way to share a large and complicated number of offerings and expertise in a concise way.

Investors' Circle promotes the transition to a sustainable economy by increasing the flow of capital to enterprises that are addressing social and environmental challenges. In this position, I oversaw website design and the design and ideation of all marketing collateral. Also, I developed and implemented marketing strategy and brand positioning, and conference production. The first conference I oversaw achieved its best profit on their biannual event in 20 years. For the company’s 20th anniversary I brought together more than a dozen sister organizations that were also celebrating significant anniversaries in what amounted to an epic industry event.
