    As a Digital Marketing Manager, one of my responsibilities is to oversee Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Linked-In platforms for brands.

    Across all social media platforms, I had the pleasure to brainstorm and execute a weekly “Real Tip Tuesday” post. These posts gained traction and helped increase followers by 20%.

    In addition to this campaign, I crafted a bi-weekly post on all platforms highlighting agents/brokers that excelled and shared their success stories. These posts performed well, boosting brand sentiment and engagement on all platforms.

    On a weekly basis, I designed and executed mass emails and text messages to approximately 40,000 recipients. These emails were intended to draw new agents into the company as well as bolster brand awareness. Each template is infused with video, tailored graphics and copy for maximum engagement.

    Search Engine Optimization is a delicacy. I have had several projects where I ensured both Squarespace and WordPress sites were up to par for maximum Google and Bing exposure.  There are over 200+ ranking factors that Google leverages to rank content. Through strategic blog posts, utilizing SEMRush software and keeping up with the latest trends, I kept my tasked projects as high as possible in Google rankings.

    For Real People Realty, a combination of plugins, strategic long-tail keyword optimization, SEM Rush monitoring and blog posts allowed for the website to remain in the top two places on Google along with receiving SERP features.

    For Legacy Vineyard Church, I utilized strategic copywriting in tandem with coordinating several channels of messaging that appeared on Yelp, Google My Business, Google Search Console and other platforms. This approach resulted in their website appearing in the top two positions through Google Search when triggered with the client’s desired keywords.
