• United States

  AMFM's mission is transforming future generations by impacting marriages and families today. Through the use of training at our national annual conference, a partner network of over 100 organizations and critical volunteers, AMFM helps to train and equip local churches and community organizations to start or enhance their marriage and family initiatives. During my tenure with AMFM I created and implemented complimentary marketing strategies in support of several motion pictures, such as Fireproof, Courageous, Arthur Christmas and Soul Surfer. In further support of the blockbuster Fireproof, I enjoyed the collaborative building of a resource website which generated over 1.5 million unique visitors and created an online community with over 78,000 registered users. Building relationships with publishing and ministry partners around the country has been a true passion. Helping to leverage their brands at national conferences and through a variety of digital assets allowed me to grow ministry revenues (and relationships) to an all time high. This includes conceptualizing, ad sales and publishing of the first-of-its-kind Marriage and Family Resource Guide, with a print distribution of over 25,000 and digital page views of over 500,000.
