Communications

After six years in the biz, I’m confident I can help you fill whatever gaps you may have in your communications department, from the ground up.

My experience includes:

  • Social Media Management, with a proven track record for increased engagement online and in the real world. Most notably, I drove registration for BikeWalkKC’s annual Tour de Bier fundraiser bike ride to record levels using a combination of social media (earned and paid), and newspaper ads. I accomplished this with just two months to plan and implement a content calendar, as I was hired shortly before the event took place.
  • Content Creation, including original and curated social media content calendars (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest), blog posts, infographics, website copy, print ads and more.
  • Document design, anything from traditional brochures to event programs, one-page flyers to multi-page annual reviews. See my online portfolio for examples.
  • Event Planning and Promotion, from inception to debriefing. Most recently I worked with BikeWalkKC to launch planning for the second annual KC Women’s Bike Summit. I recruited and led a 20-member committee which eagerly got to work brainstorming, implementing and creating buzz for the summit.
