CONSULTING CHOPS: After hiring a digital agency in my role as a marketer, I decided to try my hand at freelance content services. I worked with a Tulsa-local group of yoga studios, a few restaurants, and a Kickstarter project to create social media calendars, content, and strategy. I also worked briefly with an OK-based billboard company where I developed a better understanding of "Out of Home" (OOH) advertising - strategy and design - and the role it plays in a larger marketing outreach plan. I enjoyed client consultation services and helping customers engage audiences in new industries to me then, such as senior living care, personal fitness, home pest prevention, and more. ​In 2019, I found my way to remote agency teams where I honed my skill sets as an expert content creator, communicator, and consultant. I advised on social media strategy (content, analytics, etc.) for beer, wine, and liquor brands and handled community engagement on social media for a collection of hospitality brands. I learned the foundational regulations and community requirements for Wikipedia and became a researcher, and consultant for recognizable brands in Telecom, Airline, Paint, and other industries, helping them adhere properly to guidelines on the site. ​Furthering my experience in the agency realm and with client work, I joined an international agency team specializing in marketing automation. My role as a client success strategist built new muscles for me in relationship management and consulting with account renewal cycles in mind. Leveraging that position for one with a Director title, I had yet another opportunity to join a much smaller agency upstart where I specialized in public relations and added the Biopharmaceutical industry to the list of client types I serviced. That role also allowed an opportunity to draw on old skill sets in a new way to aid with business systems setup and operational infrastructure to support scalability.
