Project History

TikTok Channel for Everlane

Launched and brought Everlane's TikTok presence from 0 to almost 1 million likes in six months.

I launched a TikTok channel for the Everlane brand, including the Everworld blog, which celebrates the retailer's sustainability wins. I also built and managed a team and helped raise the brand profile across social media channels and paid ads.

The Thread Blog for Nordstrom

http://nordstrom.com/

Led the launch of Nordstrom's blog or content hub in the fashion, beauty, and home verticals.

The content hub for the Nordstrom brand was intended to create a repository for content and integrate it into the customer journey to inspire purchase decisions and improve average order values. The goal was to build brand loyalty through content.

Everworld Blog for Everlane

Developed the launch plan, strategy, and content for Everlane's editorial hub, Everworld.

I led the retail blog, which featured content on fashion, people, lifestyle, and sustainability. We were on a mission to clean up a dirty industry, and the content on this hub features the people, stories, and ideas that helped us achieve that goal.
