Middle-of-the-funnel Transition Content

https://resources.motus.com/resources/motus/becoming-customer?pflpid=7973

Created content that generated high engagement rates and an elevated average time on asset.

I created this introduction piece to help prospective customers better understand the steps that would bridge the gap from their current position to becoming a Motus customer. While high-level and educational, it speaks specifically to what employers and their employees can expect in a time of uncertainty.

Top-of-the-funnel Education Blog

https://www.motus.com/blog/vehicle-programs/

Authored a post that consistently gets over a hundred visitors monthly with an engagement rate of around 80%.

This post illustrates both content writing and my SEO capabilities. As important as it is to deliver information the target audience is searching for, the content means nothing if it's difficult to find. I optimized this piece's search presence, achieving consistent traffic and a high engagement rate.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9SvauOA8tc

Increased traffic to bottom-of-the-funnel content through bootstrapped video content creation.

We needed to expand our video content without a giant video budget. Using Wibbitz and Canva, I created videos summarizing essential information in articles, guides, and case studies. This effort increased our video content and YouTube presence while boosting asset traffic.
