This national museum surged to a 100% increase in its website visitors, time on site, email list size, and Google search views. It rose to the #1 Facebook following of any art museum in Maryland. Press hits included CNN, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and New York Times. Revenue and attendance surpassed pre-COVID, despite reduced hours.
GRAMEEN FOUNDATION
Direct mail revenue skyrocketed from $30k per year to nearly $700k over 3 years. Online, revenue increased 100% year-over-year in the same period. I helped reverse the debt of the print newsletter and annual report as lead editor and art director. The donor acknowledgement workflow was recognized internally as a model business practice.

Expanded audiences resulted from new video, photography, branded collateral, and community partnerships.

Guided 40% and 100% increases in Facebook and Twitter followers, respectively. Doubled initial registrations for their Volunteer Service Day with a targeted campaign. Created e-newsletters with click-through rates of up to 45%, compared to industry average of 20%.
CREATIVE ALLIANCE
New and existing patrons attended 200+ visual and performing arts events per year, under a strategy of messaging, design, and segmentation.
