Project Summary
While at the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, I focused on developing the brand strategy for the organization. Previously, the organization had a logo but did not have a clearly outlined messaging, positioning document, or a documented visual guideline.
To address the gap, I undertook a comprehensive brand audit and collaborated extensively within the organization to understand the brand components and personality. With these insights, I wrote the positioning statement, the copy for the visual guideline document, and designed it.
Project Summary
Overview:
CyberScout, a provider of identity and data defense services for individuals and commercial clients, had a three-year plan to transition from a service provider to a SaaS company. In year two, CyberScout began focusing its efforts on developing effective messaging and sales tools that resonate with clients and the target markets for its platform, CyberScout HQ. CyberScout HQ is the first online marketplace for identity management, privacy, and cyber security education, products, and services.
Targeted verticals:
• Insurance, employee benefits, financial institutions
Objective:
• Transform the way the company sells and engages with prospects and clients
• Transition from a product-based to a persona-based architecture and creating preference-based assets
• Develop effective messaging and sales tools that resonate with clients and the target markets for its platform, CyberScout HQ
Key pieces included:
• Sales guidebook
• Data sheets and add on product sales collateral
• Sales training materials
• HQ Webinar
• Infographic
• Sales portal
Implementing the Plan
As an organization that worked lean, the responsibilities overlapped with the product and client marketing teams in order to develop assets quickly to the business and account development teams. The product and marketing teams also worked cross functionally to develop the personas, value proposition and positioning statements for each target market and weekly product meetings were conducted to make sure the sales, marketing and account teams were updated on the latest developments with the marketplace.
WIth the messaging maps in place, the client marketing team developed the HQ sales enablement tools for the different stages of the customer funnel. I lead the development of the pieces for clients and the sales team and analyzed research to develop the creative brief for content and design development. My goal with the assets was to make sure we had key pieces that relates to the different stages in the customers buyer’s journey and that the messaging was consistent and aligned with the positioning and messaging framework.
Observations
With this project, I noticed that the challenge with developing new materials is making sure we have the right sales content and tools in place for the different stages of the buying journey and also making sure our efforts are aligned so that the approach is audience-centric and not product-focused. Because CyberScout worked quickly and sometimes without a process in place, team members (myself included) needed to be creative with our problem-solving abilities and be strategic as the products and services evolved.
In hindsight, we should have first mappped the current sales collateral to the buying journey to understand the gaps. Once this has been mapped, we should have aligned the buying and sales processes and partnered with sales so the reps have the right sales content and tools when needed.

Sales and Marketing Portal
Originally developed as a marketing portal for clients, the site was expanded to include sales enablement materials for the sales rep and account development teams to access. Goal is to make sure assets were readily available and updated. The portal is in the early stages for the sales enablement materials and will eventually site content will be updated and also include categories segmented into early/middle or late stage content.
Project Summary
The primary objective of this project was to craft a compelling and unforgettable work that captured the essence of the program while seamlessly incorporating the Arizona State University brand. The program’s director aimed to present an engaging portrayal of the season’s events while also achieving cost savings compared to the previous year’s 32-page spiral-bound booklet.
Upon throughly reviewing the project brief, which outlined the project’s scope, and consulting with local printing experts, I designed a 6X9″ piece that effectively showcased the program’s offerings. This piece included dedicated sections for both the fall and spring seasons, designed to fit within a standard postal envelope. As a result of this innovative approach, the project garnered significant attention within the ASU community and resulted in a budget savings exceeding $10,000.

Project Summary
In late 2019, telehealth constituted a growing portfolio for Updox, a healthcare technology company offerings. Updox specialized in an all-in-one solution that enhances communications – such as telehealth, secure texting, electronic fax, and touchless check-in – among medical professionals and their patients.
I spearheaded the comprehensive integrated marketing campaign that played a pivotal role in propelling the company to the forefront of the industry. Under my direction, I collaborated with an agency partner to conduct thorough market research and analysis, develop the strategic messaging and positioning, and craft a launch plan. This encompassed the creation of a multi-faceted email series, the development of impactful landing and funnel pages, and the design of engaging infographics, case studies, e-books, and webinars.
As a result of the effective communication and continuous A/B split testing, we achieved enhanced engagement and boosted the sales funnel. The email click-through and open rates surpassed the initial target by a significant margin. Additionally, the company experienced a remarkable increase in webinar registrations, which is a crucial advancement in the process of converting marketing-qualified leads (MQLs) into sales-qualified leads (SQLs).
These efforts launched the company onto the national telehealth stage and secured them a position on the HHS.gov website as a preferred telehealth vendor.
