Background for GE Digital Website
As Senior Director, Creative & Brand Strategy at GE Digital, I was responsible for lead generation and pipeline built via our external website. I built the marketing strategy by defining it’s purpose against business performance goals. I defined the content and creative strategy and then guided design and development teams on the appropriate marketing tech stack. I then lead the creative direction and user experience to make sure it reinforced our brand strategy.

Goals and Business Objectives
With an average of 250,000 page views on a monthly basis, our external website was a primary source of generating new leads and bringing customers through the buyer’s journey. I define two specific and clear goals that all of our efforts should ladder up toward. One focuses on the benefit and value we provide to the customer. The second guides our internal efforts for creating a world-class website.
