Senior Digital Strategist

Oct 2019 - Nov 2019
At Goodman Media, I created media outreach and digital strategies. I pitched and secured national and local media, including an 18-minute earned media segment on the TODAY show, and developed and managed brand ambassador and influencer campaigns. Clients included FreshDirect, Journelle, Grand Central Terminal, Miffy, and Feld Entertainment. I participated in new business development: provided counsel for RFPs, created new businesspitch decks and pitched digital strategy to secure new clients. I also worked directly with clients to develop and implement strategic campaigns, and manage the account day-to-day; this included managing account teams, determining the pace of work and delegating team assignments.
