Google

I had two roles while at Google. My first role was as an Account Strategist where I managed sales pipelines and adwords campaign strategies for a book of over 250 clients. In this role I developed a deep understanding of paid and programatic advertising leveraging Google’s ecosystem of tools including Adwords, and Google analytics. Though this knowledge I was able to drive success for a number of partners, like Avomeen Analytical Services where optimization of paid campaign structure, implementation of new creative, and strategic budget increases lead to 33% increase in leads QoQ and $1.08 million incremental annual revenue. While maintaining top 15 ranking globally in target attainment, I invested more in my love for video advertising. I worked on a team that was tasked with scaling knowledge of paid video strategies across the Global Sales Organization; resulting in a 48% increase in organization revenue attainment, and 117% increase in target adoption rates related to video.

After two quarters of being top 5 globally in points and revenue attainment I made an upward move to a more aggressive sales team where I drove $1.375M in-quarter revenue across 9 deals driving 225% quarter over quarter managed revenue growth. After a quarter of strong performance, I accepted a role on the Celebrity Partnerships Team at YouTube.

Brands in attendance included Revolve, Purple, MeUndies, Fabletics, Kopara Beauty, and more.

Those in attendance (including grammary award winning producers Illmind and DSmith) spent two days learning growth strategies for their channels while meeting with over 7 product teams that gathered valuable creator feedback to further optimize product.

  • Winner of Y-Prize 17’ - Once a year YouTube lets any one at the company pitch an idea to executive leadership, and they choose one idea to adopt. In 2017 myself and two colleagues developed a strategy to build earned media awareness by capitalizing on the audience that many of the influential creators and celebrities visit the offices carry. We proposed specific plans to introduce elements all around campus that encouraged creators to take photos and share them online and by tagging their location and the company, thereby generating earned media.
