Jul 2013 - Dec 2013
• My main contribution during my tenure at buildOn was to move them vastly forward on their technology stack and bring in best practices for nurturing donors. • Developed and executed "Walk In Their Shoes" book campaign that launched in Time Square with jumbotron social media call to action. Built out numerous web campaigns that drove book sales through email, social media and annual giving hooks on donation pages. • Redesigned the website on a conservative budget in less than two months, and in that process also moved the site from a static HTML site to a robust CMS website. This allowed our marketing department direct access to make website updates, versus waiting for a consultant to update a proprietary framework. • Led the integration of Classy.com into the new website CMS platform, allowing for Classy's personal & team fundraising subdomain to be seamlessly blended into the new site. • Updated all touch points with donors to be on new marketing platforms, allowing Buildon to have a cleaner look and a higher deliverability throughout the year.
