Brand Management
As Marketing Manager at Native Citizen, I lead integrated marketing initiatives that connect digital advertising, content strategy, and brand storytelling to drive measurable growth across e-commerce and in-store channels. I oversee Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO content, social media, email, and SMS campaigns, using performance data and audience insights to optimize reach, engagement, and conversions.
I develop weekly blog content that supports search visibility, thought leadership, and community engagement while contributing to sustained audience growth across social platforms. To strengthen the brand's visual identity, I direct photography and videography shoots and launched a magazine-style publication that showcases Native Citizen's design perspective and customer experience.
By managing marketing efforts across paid, owned, and social channels, I help maintain a consistent brand presence while supporting customer retention, audience expansion, and long-term brand loyalty.
Created a magazine-style publication for Native Citizen that highlights community stories, client experiences, and the meaningful connections people have with their homes. Through authentic storytelling and journalistic-style features, the project showcases inspiring home transformations, design journeys, and personal narratives that celebrate individuality, creativity, and belonging. The publication strengthens brand connection by moving beyond traditional marketing to create a deeper sense of community and emotional engagement.
One of my most impactful projects at Native Citizen was developing and optimizing a full-funnel ecommerce advertising strategy that increased marketing-attributed online sales from approximately $30,000 to $60,000 in a single month (total online sales of $80K). In the same month, retail sales increased $55K than the previous month using targeted local campaigns. Rather than maintaining a static advertising budget, I continuously adjusted investment across each stage of the customer journey to align with expected buying behavior throughout the month. The google advertising data is featured in the next section.
At the beginning of promotional periods, I prioritized awareness campaigns (including meta ads) to introduce seasonal collections and generate qualified traffic. As audience engagement and website visits increased, I shifted a greater share of the budget toward consideration campaigns focused on product discovery and customer intent. During the final phase of the campaign, I strategically reduced upper-funnel spend and increased investment in retargeting audiences, serving personalized product and promotional messaging to shoppers who had already interacted with the brand. This phased budget allocation helped maximize purchase conversions while improving overall marketing efficiency.
Ad content is added throughout the month to stimulate dropping performance, especially when targeting locally. Ad campaigns will deliver more quickly with smaller target populations, which require a different ad and budget strategy than regional or nationwide advertising campaigns.
Each ad campaign will use different objectives and KPIs. For instance, the awareness stage will use website views and clicks as prioritized metrics, while consideration and retargeting stage will use "add to cart" or purchases. However, with B2B and Trade Program campaigns, the lead form metric is necessary. I found that optimizing the website's landing page had vastly improved conversions and overall performance. SEO keywords were implemented to match the google search campaign as well.

Open rates have increased year-after-year since 2024, and this year in 2026 has increased by 20%. Email campaigns are receiving 60%+ open rates (industry standard: 20-30%) with improved email content such as the new high-quality photography that I directed, changing subject lines, and blog articles to share. See the next section about the impact of weekly blogs initiated by me as the Marketing Manager.
I write and publish weekly SEO-focused blog articles that positioned Native Citizen as a trusted resource for interior design inspiration while supporting organic search growth. One article, "How to Choose the Right Sofa for Your Space," became one of the website's most visited pages, driving sustained organic traffic through evergreen, educational content.
Each blog serves as the foundation for an integrated marketing campaign, repurposed across email campaigns and social media to maximize reach and engagement from a single content asset. This approach strengthened SEO, increased website traffic, and created consistent customer touchpoints across multiple marketing channels.
Topics were chosen based off of SEO priority, new business developments (e.g. the trade program), recent events, interview opportunities, and more. I spearheaded this weekly blog initiative, invigorating marketing performance across all channels.
