I served as the creative lead to build the initial marketing department and then support a full range of B2B and B2B2C marketing projects. This included developing a third national brand composed of multiple acquired companies. I hired and supervised the local design staff and together we maintained three corporate websites, three very large national client conferences, three magazine-style company newsletters, the collateral for several hundred products, and all other national marketing efforts.

I handled project management, front-end design and HTML development for client websites, including introducing new design/development standards that improved ROI. Part of this improvement was from a template-based website that could be reskinned with code which I created with one of our developers. This allowed us to build a single site for a holding company that performed like multiple websites.
