02/20 – 08/22 Alameda Sun / Stellar Media Group, Alameda, CA Advertising Coordinator

As the advertising coordinator for “Alameda’s only locally owned newspaper,” my duties included maintaining relationships with advertisers to guarantee customer satisfaction, helping to develop and design new campaigns from scratch, improve existing creative assets, and cultivating new customer contacts. With my broad range of skills, additional tasks involved proofreading the entire paper on a weekly basis, contributing photography, and writing articles and supplementary content.

10/16 – 10/18 AppDynamics (now a division of Cisco), San Francisco, CA Editor-in-Chief, Marketing

AppDynamics is a leading developer of application performance management tools for Fortune 500 companies and governments, and was ultimately acquired by Cisco Systems. As senior content editor for its nascent in-house marketing department, I was responsible for creating and enforcing brand standards for both internal and external communications, including writing, editing, proofreading, and overseeing all digital campaigns and content such as: white papers, press releases, blogs, social media, content summaries, B2B sales offerings, and recruitment initiatives. My greatest impact came in the form of writing the invitations and follow-up messages to existing and potential customers for our industry events (including the AppSphere 2016 and 2017 events and 2018’s AppD Global Tour) and webinars, which were attended by thousands internationally. The results were increased user retention, sales, and brand awareness — ultimately leading to its multi-billion dollar acquisition by Cisco. 09/13 – 05/17 Luxus Inc. / Boston’s The Gourmet Pizza, Dallas, TX Senior Copywriter

After successfully pitching the first fully integrated campaign for the U.S. expansion of Canadian casual dining giant Boston Pizza, I wrote, developed, and edited all promotional materials for the chain for several years, including annual restaurant and beverage menu updates, national TV and radio spots, print ads, style guides, charity events, and more, right down to coasters and pizza boxes. 09/09 – 09/13 Luxus, Inc., San Francisco, CA / Helsinki, Finland Senior Copywriter / Copy Editor

This experience focused on generating and editing online content including video scripts, product copy, banners, landing pages, style guides, and other communications for major clients including Nokia, Oracle, Brown-Forman, PepsiCo, and others. I also wrote and edited promotional materials including newsletters, pitches, press releases, and case studies for Luxus, Inc. itself (a good deal of time was spent copyediting material translated into English from our home office in Helsinki, making it more readable for a wider audience). 09/05 – 12/08 TMP Worldwide, San Francisco, CA

Copywriter

My first major job out of the gate provided me the opportunity to conceive, write, and deliver online, print, and broadcast recruitment campaigns for a diverse range of high-profile corporate clients for one of the world’s first major digital agencies. Clients included: Microsoft, GE, Kaiser Permanente, Dell, Wells Fargo, IBM, HP, JPL, Ameriprise, Genentech, and Public Storage. Most notably, I created and implemented new brand standards for aerospace & defense powerhouse Northrop Grumman. I also created detailed style guides for most of the aforementioned clients and contributed illustrations and video presentations to a number of successful pitches, including Intel, E.On, and Duff & Phelps, as well as winning “National Creative of the Month” for three consecutive months.
