    January 2008August 2008 (8 months)

    As a Strategic Account Manager, I was at the front line of the client-agency relationship. I had ultimate responsibility for team performance and client satisfaction.

    I oversaw a team of paid search experts to successfully plan, execute, measure and optimize a total of well over $1MM in annual paid search spend.

    Working with subject matter experts, I developed search engine optimization (SEO) strategies for clients large and small. I established client side relationships with marketing, development and content teams to manage projects that translated strategies into live tactics.

    My clients ranged from cutting-edge web startups to Fortune 100 household names. I worked with clients in media, ecommerce, apparel, legal, photography and telecommunications verticals.

  • Strategic Analyst

    ClickEquations

    (Internet industry)

    March 2007January 2008 (11 months)

    As a Strategic Analyst, half of my job was developing interactive marketing strategies, i.e. how to help my clients achieve their business goals online. Strategy, as I define it, is about making the right choices and setting priorities among a sea of options. It's the result of a deep understanding of my client's business, customers, competitive landscape and business limitations.

    The other half of my job was web analytics. Simply put, I helped measure and analyze the success or failure of our strategies and tactics. Based on that analysis, I pulled out key, actionable insights to improve results. Most people understand web analytics through tools like Omniture, Google Analytics and WebTrends (all of which I have used or currently use). I expand my view of "web analytics" beyond these behavioral metrics (the "what") to include the experience and outcomes of customers and prospects (the "why").
