  • Senior Marketing Manager

    2013 - 2014

    With new funding, I shifted from the hybrid Sales/Marketing role to a dedicated marketing role to build out our first team. With the focus on inbound marketing and using content marketing techniques, I hired our first content manager and lead gen manager in this period. I also led our website redesign, vetting 20 design agencies and working closely with Vital Design to launch our new website in early 2014. Along with our website redesign, we launched marketing automation with Marketo, and began nurturing leads with content and resources. This allowed us to invest in content syndication efforts, webinars, ebooks, and other content-centric strategies to capture inbound leads. In this period, we were able to increase sign ups for Scripted by 235%.

  • Marketing and Sales Manager

    2012 - 2013

    I joined Scripted as the first marketing and sales hire and was responsible for Scripted's initial sales growth after the company had just raised their seed round of funding. Given our limited budget, I spent most of my time optimizing email marketing tactics, sales calls, demos, SEO, and other free ways to get new customers. I continued to manage our PPC and SEO, while qualifying inbound leads and onboarding new customers. We were able to increase revenue by 291% from Q1 2012 to Q2 2013 and I closed our first 100,000+ deal. Our growth led to our Series A funding in June 2013 led by Crosslink Capital and Redpoint Ventures.

2009 - 2014

  • Co-Founder and CEO

    2009 - 2014

    After winning the Innovative Startup Award at Claremont McKenna, Golden Gate BrewTours launched their first brewery tour in January 2011. Starting with just family and friends, BrewTours became the highest rated brewery tour in the SF Bay Area with all 5 star reviews on Yelp. We expanded our tours to include a north bay tour (Lagunitas, Marin Brewing Company, Moylans), a city only tour (Speakeasy, Triple Voodoo, Thirsty Bear, Rogue, and Social Kitchen), and an east bay tour (Pyramid, Linden Street, and Drake's Brewing). We also participated in the SF Beer Week events every year, hosted a bus to the Lagunitas Beer Circus, and enjoyed serving beers with many local breweries at festivals. After almost four years of tours, I stopped running tours to focus on other career opportunities. I still have a strong passion for craft beer and hope to continue participating in beer events and blogs.
