Good Afternoon,
I was recently alerted to your search for a Director of Marketing and wanted to learn more about this opportunity. Over the last 10+ years, I have been responsible for increasing brand and digital engagement goals by leveraging sales collateral, social media, email marketing, paid content, ecommerce and website development.
Experiences that would be valuable to note to the hiring team, includes:
Financial Marketing Experience: Spent my early years building customer relationships at HSBC Bank Corp. Extended my time in the financial markets through a management role at TheStreet.com and as an Assistant Director of Custom Sponsorships with The Deal LLC. The Deal focused on the Private Equity and overall M&A space.
Sales Liaison/Advertising Relationships: Supported multiple sales/advertising teams at nationwide M&A industry events building out custom sponsorships. Helped to raise the visibility of our digital brands/products, while reducing sponsorship pain points. Nurtured repeat partnerships while improving the outreach with my Sponsorship Director to build new partnership accounts for our annual Deal Economy event at the NYSE. Optimized sales collateral, newsletter, media kits and client decks.
Integrated Marketing Programs/Social Media: Built and grew the acquisition strategy across social, email and paid content marketing. Social media wins contributed to a 200% increase in digital referral traffic. Email wins saw increases across subscriber counts, open rates, deliverability and CTR%.
Data Analytics/Project Management: Heavily invested in marketing analytics and audience/consumer behavior reporting. Championed custom reports for social (organic and paid), email, ecommerce and paid network initiatives. Well versed in Google Analytics, Adobe Social, FB Insights, Twitter Analytics, Omniture, BuzzSumo, Sprout, Buffer and ESP tools.
Team management/Roll-up Sleeves Attitude: Hired, led and mentored cross-functional talented teams of traditional marketers, designers, project managers, sales representatives and digital analysts.
If you are searching for a highly motivated financial marketing professional with a strong digital background in setting program strategy and monitoring revenue and performance, then let’s set up a time to chat.
I look forward to connecting on this opportunity.
