The American College: eMarketing Manager — 3/08-Present

Overview

As the eMarketing Manager, I am responsible for the design and delivery of all email marketing campaigns as well as taking ownership of our external consumer websites. While here, I successfully lead teams responsible for the re-design of TheAmericanCollege.edu as well as launching TheWealthChannel.com. To do so, I coordinated with our vendors to develop and program the custom content management system (CMS) to power the site. I was also given the opportunity to research and implement a new email marketing vendor that cut The College's costs while gaining increased functionality and tools within the platform.
