I had the pleasure of working with Patrick at McGraw-Hill Education for more than a year. His project management, creativity, and writing skills made balancing all the different aspects of what we had to do much, much easier. He actively jumped into learning about the customer and the many products we all handled. His addition to our department brought projects back into proper timelines and he quickly understood what we needed to say to the customer and how to make the message resonate. Patrick shows great versatility and would be an asset to any marketing/content management department.

Managed the blog for McGraw-Hill Education's Professional division, which features articles, infographics, videos, and podcasts created for healthcare professionals, faculty members and other educators, and librarians across a variety of disciplines. Some of my results include: • Developed original research for the target demographic and leveraged that content into series of blogs and an infographic that drove 15% of the site’s traffic and a white paper with a 13% conversion rate. • Engaged influencers in the community to write guest blogs, resulting in a 27% bump in traffic over the next best-performing blog in the same period. • Partnered with non-profit organizations to co-create and co-market materials resulting in more exposure to new leads. One blog post alone created a 669% bump in traffic--92% of whom were new visitors to the site. • Created original, research-driven content that outperformed agency content by 710%. • Rewrote copy and improved UX on landing pages to improve conversion rates by 514%. In addition, I write and commission blog posts, infographics, white papers, eBooks, and lead gen materials to grow the McGraw-Hill Professional brand and provide leads for the marketing and sales teams. I also provide copy for traditional marketing materials, such as direct mail, flyers, posters, banners, and emails.

Feb 2015 - Jul 2015
My main goal was to create a strong brand by presenting a clear, concise vision on all media and social networking sites. I created engaging content for the website, blog, and social media sites, including descriptions of practice areas, comments on news stories, and informative articles for potential and existing clients. I focused on using content to expand the current client base from Manhattan and the surrounding areas to the entire State of New York. Additionally, I expanded on email campaigns to bring in client reviews, which led to an increase in online reviews in a short amount of time.

Sep 2011 - Feb 2015
I was responsible for many tasks as the marketing manager, including the creation and maintenance of a metric to track client signing rates and referral information. I saw a need for this metric as there was no reliable source of data to track this information. Upon completion of the design and input of data, I discovered which areas were strongest for referral sources and which areas needed extra concentration, and also determined the actual percentage of client retention. Upon utilizing this data, the firm's retainer signing rate increased by 30%. In addition, I managed the production of marketing collateral including pens, folders, and other deliverables from start to finish. This included approving a unique branding theme, working with designers, coordinating with printers, and managing budgets and deadlines.
