  Launchpad Advertising

  Jul 2009 - Dec 2013

  I led biz dev for Launchpad Advertising, one of the fastest growing ad agencies in NYC. I love these people, this thinking, and the mission. I've learned more at Launchpad than I could ever capture in words, and we consistently helped clients grow their business by not just delivering ads, but thinking through the strategic course of action to reach each business objective. It was EXCITING to be a part of! I was the fourth hire, first to hold Digital Strategist role, and first to hold Director of Business Development role. The company is now 60+ people. Kicking ass, and taking names. Show less Developed a social media strategy that landed the agency's second largest client at the time. Had a seat at the table for all things digital with our clients including Capital Access Network where we launched their first merchant portal which gave their customers a window into their accounts, New Directions Behavioral Health where we launched their first ever private case management application helping people to get on the right track from wherever they were, and led the strategy on many others. First at the agency to assume this role. Show less
