Sep 2020 - Dec 2021
Coordinate go-to-market strategies with Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Marketing to create strategic positioning and messaging for product consumption. I worked to initiate an adoption-focused mentality by partnering with the Customer Success team to increase product adoption 15% by crafting value proposition pitch decks and success metric use cases. I also implemented an in-app messaging solution to target our user personas with new feature and functionality announcements and best practices, onboard new users to the platform, and facilitate customer success touchpoints. The in-app messaging has a current 80% consumption rate with our client base. Show less
