Everything underneath the four builds.
The campaigns, systems, platforms and properties behind the work on the main pages — grouped by what they were for, not when they happened. This is the long version. The four build stories are the short one.
In focus
First CRM and marketing database
Dicronite Southwest · 2018–2021Built the contact database and stood it up on a working CRM, then ran segmented campaigns against it. There was no list and no system before this.
HubSpot instance ownership
DDI · 2021–2023Ran the CRM and automation stack end to end — lifecycle email, nurture, lead capture, list hygiene and reporting for the sales and marketing teams.
Perspectives article programme
DDI · Apr 2022 – Apr 2023Launched and ran the thought-leadership section end to end, coordinating design, sales, legal, copywriting and distribution across two organisations for every piece.
Website build and redesign
Dicronite Southwest · 2018–2021Managed design and development, installed analytics so performance could be measured at all, and sourced licensed imagery to replace what was there.
LinkedIn audience programme
DDI · 2021–2023Took the company page from a standing start past 1,000 followers in April 2022 and past 2,000 in April 2023, on consistent publishing rather than paid promotion.
Pipeline built from nothing
BEMS · 2023–2025No leads, no outreach and no structure on day one. Built the prospecting motion into a pipeline the business could forecast against.
Marketing operations & platforms
6 projectsThe infrastructure layer — the systems that existed after I left that did not exist before I arrived.
HubSpot to Salesforce Marketing Cloud migration
DDI / IAA · 2022–2023Moved a live marketing operation between platforms — data and contact mapping, campaign and workflow rebuild, Email Studio and Automation Studio configuration, and the integrations that kept records in sync during the cutover.
Marketing dashboard
DDI · 2021–2023One reporting surface pulling Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, HubSpot, Salesforce Marketing Cloud and the internal request form together, so campaign performance could be read in a single place instead of six.
HubSpot instance ownership
DDI · 2021–2023Ran the CRM and automation stack end to end — lifecycle email, nurture, lead capture, list hygiene and reporting for the sales and marketing teams.
First CRM and marketing database
Dicronite Southwest · 2018–2021Built the contact database and stood it up on a working CRM with Mailchimp, then ran segmented campaigns against it. There was no list and no system before this.

Salesforce Help Center
DDI / IAA · 2022–2023Built a customer-facing support hub inside Salesforce — articles, FAQs and product documentation — to take repeat questions out of the sales team's inbox.
Demand generation & campaigns
8 projectsPaid, email and outbound programmes — including the two playbooks that let other people run them without me.
Search engine marketing playbook
BEMS · 2023–2025Wrote the standard for campaign setup, optimisation and performance tracking, then rolled it out across the client portfolio so every brand ran search the same way. Lifted lead generation and measurable project volume across the book.
Campaign planning playbook & project template
BEMS · 2023–2025A reusable template covering steps, deliverables and timelines, used to align stakeholders and take campaigns from concept to launch consistently across multiple client brands.
Pipeline built from nothing
BEMS · 2023–2025No leads, no outreach and no structure on day one. Built the prospecting motion — targeted email, trade show engagement and consistent follow-up — into a pipeline the business could forecast against.
Google Ads programme
DDI · 2021–2023Ran paid search across four state markets — Wisconsin, West Virginia, Florida and Massachusetts — with keyword research, ad copy, competitor analysis, conversion tracking and continuous optimisation.
Florida launch campaign
DDI · 2022Integrated Google, email and social push into northern Florida dealerships around revised pricing, with A/B testing across both ads and email to find the message that moved them.
Wisconsin campaign
DDI · 2021–2022Google and email programme introducing dealerships and banks to DDI's services and revised pricing, built around a value argument rather than a product feature list.
West Virginia deadline campaign
DDI · 2022Email programme built on a real deadline — impending DMV cutovers — using the urgency of the date rather than generic product messaging to get dealerships and banks to act.
#CSOFTStrong campaign
CSOFT International · Feb–Apr 2020Ran a global brand campaign across LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook through the opening months of the pandemic, balancing expansion messaging against genuine concern for the translator network on the ground.

Market entry press releases
DDI / IAA · 2022–2023Four announcements — the corporate office expansion, Massachusetts EVR, and electronic lien and title launches in Indiana and West Virginia — each requiring legal review, stakeholder sign-off and coordinated distribution.

Events & field marketing
2 projectsThree years of trade show programmes run as a measured channel, not a line item.

LinkedIn audience programme
DDI · 2021–2023Took the company page from a standing start past 1,000 followers in April 2022 and past 2,000 in April 2023, on consistent publishing rather than paid promotion.
Social channels established

Community & cross-functional
3 projectsMarketing work done outside a marketing department — and the workflow that held creative teams together.
Creative production workflow

The short version is four builds.
