Impactful Vaccine Marketing Campaign

I managed HPV vaccine promotion for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. This campaign included training for healthcare providers and a multi-channel marketing campaign that included digital ads, social media, bus wraps, billboards, radio, and local media. The campaign was a resounding success, with significant increases in vaccination rates in every zip code and every demographic.

Successful Donor Outreach

I recently revamped the end-of-year fundraising campaign for a small nonprofit focused on disability. I redesigned email templates to optimize for clicks, changed the timing and subject lines to optimize for opens, segmented emails to better target the audience, and designed graphics to maximize engagement. The campaign dramatically improved in every metric compared to the previous year.

Engaging Social Media Strategy

I consulted with a national nursing organization on their social media strategy. I quickly identified the issues they faced in reaching their target audience and drafted a plan that resulted in a complete turnaround. I created documentation, reports, templates, and an editorial calendar for the next year. Finally, I trained the organization’s Communications Manager to ensure sustainability.

Refreshed Health & Nutrition Website

I had the opportunity to enhance the website for a state program that promotes healthy recipes and budget-friendly activities. I successfully improved the site’s sustainability and impact by enhancing site speed, improving accessibility, reorganizing the menu, fixing plugins, and much more. I also outlined a comprehensive three-step strategy, which included optimizing all digital media.
