Key Tasks
I worked as a Marketing Associate at A&C Plastic where I would manage all social media strategies, email campaigns PR deadlines, and other projects.
In 2020, I worked as a Marketing Associate at A&C Plastics, a commercial real estate in Houston, Texas. The learning curve was understanding each market for each product type (16 different plastic types with many variations). Another unique experience for me was promoting the company's new headquarter building and stylizing the brand image further. I designed the open house invitations, planned the tour guide, created the open house video, and wrote an article for the International Association of Plastic Distributors about the building.
In my position, I edited photos and videos twice a week for our social media campaigns. Furthermore, I sent out bi-weekly newsletters for thousands of subscribers and tracked metrics for A/B testing. I often do internal document editing for manufacturer information, and I also redesigned the sales kit folders so customers can have a better brand experience. Lastly, I used Google Analytics to lead changes in the website redesign project to improve on conversion rate optimization and user behavior metrics. Read each project description below for more information.
After acquiring the task of sending out bi-weekly emails, I quickly revamped the email template from Constant Contact. Afterwards, I tested the optimized timing to send out using A/B testing and changed the content to see what was most engaging. During this time, I achieved the highest CTR with 11% while staying above the industry average open rate (15%) with 18%.
At the start of 2021, A&C Plastics was celebrating its new headquarters' grand opening. I worked with a PR specialist who gave me great insight about handling media outlets. I began working with the International Association of Public Distributors to publish our company's application of plastic products throughout the headquarters. After interviewing the A&C President and revising the content with the PR specialist, I have the article scheduled for August in IAPD's online magazine and newsletter. See the article here.
