Social Media Influencers

Influencers are key to a successful marketing strategy.

 

For Gozova Moving and Storage, I worked closely with my marketing team to secure 60+ micro - influencers in 2022.Watch the Recap Video 

At Copart Auto Auctions, I led all social media efforts and launched the first influencer program. For every one video we "paid" for, we secured approx. 9 "free" videos from enthusiasts.

Museums to Books

Projects come in many different shapes and sizes. I "get it done" that's why  leaders can count on me to complete any project sent my way.  I led the design and development of a 6,000 sq ft Copart corporate museum working closely with our partner Museum Arts. 

 

In addition, I led the distribution/launch of a book for the company's founder and chairman of the board, and wrote the online book description. Check it out on Amazon.

Led the marketing and development efforts for the relaunch of the Copart Mobile App working with my marketing team of UX-UI designers, website developers, graphic designers, data/analytics specialists, and social media coordinators. Gathered requirements and design needs of the Marketing, Operations, Technology, and other departments to ensure the app was updated to meet specifications of each department. Technology team built the app and then my team and I lead QA efforts, wrote SEO copy for App stores, and finalized all promotional marketing materials.

“Michelle is a highly motivated marketer with great depth in building and retaining top talent. She is an authentic leader and understands the challenges CMOs face. During roundtables of 30 or more CMOs discussing their challenges and solutions, Michelle was right in there with CMOs with 10-15 year more experience giving great advice and proven solutions...Michelle 'gets it' and can go from overall global strategy to 'hands-on, in-the-trenches' with her team - THAT is leading by example.”
