About

I’m Arielle de la Roche, a digital marketing leader with 10+ years of experience across banking, professional services, and hospitality. I combine strategic direction with hands-on execution—building digital roadmaps that translate business goals into measurable outcomes, from customer journeys and SEO to paid media, analytics, and marketing automation.

In my recent roles, I’ve led go-to-market launches and campaign partnerships in highly regulated environments, including work around customer onboarding and payment products, as well as employer-brand initiatives recognized by the LinkedIn Talent Awards. Earlier in my career, I helped teams strengthen thought leadership and recruitment through content strategy and major website revamps, and in hospitality I managed SEO, social, online reputation, and OTA performance across multi-brand portfolios.
