Marketing Operations

- I work closely with the client fulfillment team to ensure that all marketing initiatives are planned, executed, optimized, and within budget for the company’s two brands and all of their clients, which are mainly B2B services and SaaS companies.
- I work closely with with the company’s operations manager to ensure all client projects and tasks from meetings, emails, and other channels are adequately captured in our project management tool Asana. I then work closely with our client fulfillment team to ensure these projects and tasks are assigned and executed according to their proper priority and due date.
- I implemented the project/task management methodology of “Getting Things Done”. We integrated this system while using Asana as our project management tool, which helped increase our efficiency and effectiveness in prioritizing and completing both client and internal work.
- I implemented and optimized the company’s HubSpot account in which we grew the account from 0 contacts to 32,000 contacts in the course of 18 months. I then helped the company set up lead nurturing campaigns across the marketing and inside sales function to target key prospects. This resulted in this channel becoming the most valuable channel to generate new MQLs, which had previously been referrals.
- I worked closely with the inside sales team to create sales materials to nurture leads from the prospect stage through closed won. These materials include cold call scripts, cold email templates, marketing audit templates, video outreach scripts, sales decks, and proposal templates.
