Recent Projects
MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW), September 2006-April 2007
MIT offers free access to 1,600 courses in 35 academic subjects online. MIT was awarded a $450,000 grant by the Google Foundation.
To maximize the impact, I targeted teachers, professors, and tutors at high schools and universities. Educators use the course material throughout their teaching career and pass this along to other educators and students. The project (ongoing) brings 500,000 students and educators to MIT monthly.

• Launched a global campaign in 130 countries and 12 languages, including Chinese (simplified and traditional), Korean, Japanese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic
• Added 75,000 keywords, wrote ads, and designed landing pages
• Analytics with MIT’s WebTrends account

Results: When I took over, the campaign was getting 50 clicks a day. After implementing this new strategy, the campaign gets 20,000 clicks a day. Reduced cost-per-click by 85%.
