The Process

• Designed digital marketing strategy for selling event tickets and corporate sponsorships.

• Created a combination of partnerships, digital advertising, and media contacts to sell out events across North America.

• Built the digital marketing team, and lead social media, content marketing, mobile app, email and website strategy.

• Increased social engagement on EDCE properties by nearly 50%.

• Created marketing automation efficiencies to increase the business development team's effectiveness.

• Responsible for advertising strategy and media planning including managing external agencies.
