    paper Digital Advertising & Social Media Graphics

    Your favorite website, social platform, and online in general is inundated with ads. So, while knowing your target audience is crucial, you also need to stand out from the rest.

    • Carousel ads - keep a user clicking through;
    • Display ads - short messaging & powerful imagery that fit various sizes;
    • Your company branding MUST be strong and the messaging must be clear
    paper Print Media

    Printed collateral, while similar to digital, requires extra steps to make sure the final product showcases the company in the best possible light. Elements to double check include:

    ​- making sure CMYK is being used to ensure crisp and accurate color matching;

    • adding crop marks so print companies can finish the product to exact measurements;
    • embed images and fonts, so design elements are correct and rendered at the highest resolution
    paper Digital Media

    Gated or ungated - that is often the question. Know your audience - know your asset. Digital assets can include eBooks, infographics, white papers, brochures, flyers, and everything inbetween - and I’ve designed them all.

    Digital collateral is a great way to get your information in front of a customer quickly and easily. Links can be embedded into an interactive pdf and emailed to get content to your customers seamlessly.

    paper Tradeshows

    I have managed a company’s presence at conferences and tradeshows several times a year. These multi-faceted projects require cross-functional department collaboration and include:

    Working closely with sales and product marketers months prior to decide on messaging, social and email campaigns, gamification, swag and any printed collateral so memorable and critical messaging is being clearly communicated to show attendees.

    ​- Designing and ordering background graphics, swag and print collateral, as well coordinately timely shipping of all necessary items to the tradeshow warehouses

    • Working with conference organizers to confirm booth area size, deadlines, etc., and selecting and ordering all booth furniture
    • Working with Marketing Operations to create email campaigns and Marketing Coordinator to design and schedule social media posts​​
