    Google AdWords and Analytics
    I was actively working alongside a former Account Manager from Google to help implement Google Ads as a new managed service for Kure Creative and their clients.

    I created 11 Ad campaigns on the Google Search Network. Additionally, I created Remarketing campaigns for clients that we mutually felt would benefit from it.

    I had the opportunity to present the analytics data to our clients on several occasions. This gave me experience in identifying data trends, important KPIs, and preparing and presenting a data report.

    National Pi Day Promotion
    To celebrate National Pi Day on March, 14th (3.14), I came up with the idea to give away free large cheese pizzas to The Real Deal Deli's social media followers.

    We opened up freecheesepizza.com for 3 minutes and 14 seconds on 3/14. The site allowed users to enter their information for their chance to win a free pizza.

    We gave away 25 pizzas and the rest of the entrants received coupons for a free slice. Through this promotion, I was able to grow The Real Deal's email marketing list by 300 new contacts.
