Marketing Measurement & GTM Strategy

Organization type
Higher-education fundraising and nonprofit organization
Business problem
Marketing teams needed a clearer and more reliable way to measure website activity, campaign traffic, conversions, and engagement across multiple digital properties.
Original request
Improve analytics and campaign measurement for marketing initiatives, including a major campaign with its own digital experience.
What I investigated
Google Analytics 4 properties, Google Tag Manager, existing tagging, campaign tracking, UTM usage, internal traffic, conversion events, consent-related measurement considerations, and reporting requirements.
Work performed
Reviewed the measurement environment, defined tagging and filtering requirements, developed UTM governance recommendations, identified conversion and funnel measurement needs, and planned implementation work.
Deliverables

2026

Salesforce Reporting for Fundraising Teams

Organization type
Higher-education fundraising organization
Business problem
Fundraising, advancement, and operational teams needed reliable Salesforce reports that answered real business questions without requiring users to repeatedly export and reconstruct information outside the system.
Original request
Build reports and dashboards for frontline fundraisers and other advancement teams, including information about assigned prospects, outreach, activity, fundraising progress, and operational work.
What I investigated
Business requirements, reporting definitions, Salesforce object relationships, available fields, report types, filters, formulas, existing reports, migrated data, and how different teams used the information.
What I found
Some reporting requests depended on more than report configuration. They also required clarification of business definitions, object relationships, available data, and the processes that produced the information.
Work performed
Created and refined more than 50 Salesforce reports, evaluated report types and filters, translated business questions into reporting logic, investigated data issues, and worked with stakeholders to refine requirements.
Deliverables
Salesforce reports, reporting structures, business-rule clarification, field and filter recommendations, and reporting foundations for future dashboards.
Technologies
Salesforce, Salesforce Education Cloud and advancement data, reports, dashboards, report types, formulas, and related fundraising data

2025

Salesforce Data Quality & Governance

Organization type
Consumer-products organization
Business problem
Duplicate and inconsistent CRM records were reducing trust in Salesforce and affecting reporting, user workflows, and the quality of information available to teams.
What I investigated
Duplicate patterns, record creation processes, imports, field consistency, normalization requirements, user workflows, and upstream sources that contributed to recurring data-quality problems.
Work performed
Developed and implemented data-quality processes, improved normalization and duplicate management, reviewed the causes of unreliable records, and helped establish controls intended to prevent the same problems from continually returning.
Outcome
Duplicate records were reduced by approximately 75 percent, improving the reliability of CRM information used for reporting and day-to-day work.
Technologies
Salesforce, CRM data-quality processes, duplicate management, normalization, validation, reporting, and data governance

2025

Product Data & Digital Asset Automation

Organization type
Consumer-products organization
Business problem
Product information and digital assets moved through multiple platforms, vendors, and business processes. Manual steps and inconsistent information made it harder to keep product data and assets synchronized across systems and channels.
What I investigated
Product information workflows, digital asset management, metadata, taxonomy, syndication, source systems, integrations, vendor requirements, and where manual processes were creating additional work or inconsistencies.
Work performed
Worked across DAM, PIM, ERP, commerce, and product-syndication processes to improve how product information and digital assets were organized, transferred, enriched, and distributed.
Deliverables
Workflow improvements, integration and automation work, product and asset data processes, metadata and taxonomy improvements, reporting, and vendor/system recommendations.
Technologies
Acquia Widen DAM, Syndigo, 1WorldSync, Python, product information systems, digital asset management, integrations, and data workflows

2021

Enterprise Reporting Modernization

Organization type
Consumer-products organization
Business problem
Business reporting depended on legacy reporting tools and data spread across multiple systems, making it difficult for teams to consistently access and use the information they needed.
Original request
Modernize business reporting and replace legacy reporting processes with a more usable analytics environment.
What I investigated
Existing Oracle reports, business reporting requirements, source-system data, report usage, data transformations, and how different teams consumed operational and analytical information.
Work performed
Helped translate legacy reporting requirements into a modern reporting environment, developed and migrated reports, worked with data pipelines and source systems, and supported the move toward more accessible business intelligence.
Deliverables
Tableau reports and dashboards, migrated reporting logic, requirements documentation, data validation, and reporting processes that replaced or reduced dependence on legacy Oracle reporting.
Technologies
Oracle reporting, Tableau, business intelligence, data pipelines, and enterprise reporting systems
