  GroMo Agency

  Jan 2023 - now

  Sr. Business Analyst

  At Gromo, I spearheaded workstreams centered on the organization’s analytics infrastructure. From an internal standpoint, I built scalable pipelines that modernized the end-to-end data management process to facilitate stronger performance measurement, benchmarking and forecasting. I also led the development of AI tools for the production and distribution of digital campaigns and collateral. At the client level, my work involved understanding the performance and statistics of their existing marketing programs, shaping new strategies, and testing their efficacy through the upgraded suite of data tools we built. I was also a key point of contact for market research to flag opportunities and considerations of new programs, as well as financial modelling to understand the size and impacts of planned initiatives. Some of the results we delivered for clients include:► Up to 6x higher ROAS ► +33% higher lead generation while reducing or holding flat cost per leads (CPLs) ► Customer journey optimizations by removing barriers to conversion Show less
