THE STYLESHAKER
Creator of TheStyleShaker.com: a guide to clean beauty, skincare & beyond.
I've applied my two decades of experience in e-commerce, content creation and digital marketing to develop a turnkey content strategy that converts, an editorial calendar that pivots on performance metrics, win-win partnerships and a trusted brand with a community of 50k and growing.
Revenue (2020-2021) increased 63% thanks to a data-backed, customer-centric content strategy, the release of my quarterly Britt's Picks digital guides, a shift in YouTube channel strategy and revised affiliate marketing approach.
Website traffic (2020-2021), users not just impressions, increased by 256% (37k-137k) organically with a decreased bounce rate of 5.56% thanks to small, consistent, data-backed (blog) content and navigation tweaks (no paid marketing).
WALMART.COM
Senior Manager, Social Content & Copy Lead
I've been brought on to the organic social team to create a cohesive, impactful, customer-centric messaging strategy for the entire Walmart.com social ecosystem (including the launch of livestream shopping events).
I lead copy and messaging for all (2021) Walmart Live livestream shopping events. Recent successes include: Pioneer Woman, Drew Barrymore and UOMA Beauty by Sharon C.
The team has exceeded the 2021 goal of 1mil TikTok followers and gross revenue is tracking to hit our goal of increasing 33% over last year.
Senior Manager, Editorial Content
With a team less than half the size of the prior year (2019), I executed a strategic shift in content placements to "fewer, better," leveraging data-backed decisions and strong relationships within the organization to drive an increase in revenue of 34% over the previous year. See custom content for full-file emails (left).
Created an in-house content creator agency to support increased internal demand for on-site, email and social experiences. I was a content creator "matchmaker," supporting my internal partners by hand-picking the best talent for their on and off-site campaigns.
From Sept '19 to Feb '20, we onboarded 20+ creators whose placements generated a reach of 691k+ and garnered an average brand sentiment rating of over 80% positive.
In Nov 2018 I tested our first story-driven, 'shoppable-content' landing destination featuring micro-influencer and custom imagery that generated the highest conversion rate of all editorial content published that year and over $23k in revenue in less than 2 months (average editorial revenue for 6-month time frame was $30k).
Organized my 'shoppable-content' into a template the editorial team then used to scale over holiday and beyond!
