Portfolio — Content Marketing

Original content is highly valuable

My specialty is content marketing. This field combines traditional marketing skills with new media fluency, specifically social media. I arrived at this specialty after several years professional experience in online media.

I am particularly interested in helping companies and organizations explain their “green” initiatives to customers, constituents, and other stakeholders.

Select list of content-driven marketing clients:

Aol – America Online
Will the future bring more walkable development? Creative, adaptive re-use of buildings? These and other “green” themes explored in content for three specialized real-estate websites. Also managed social media for three Aol properties, resulting in +1556.67% ytd growth. (2009-2010)

Big “O” Tree
Whether you choose beautification, environmental health, or just plain enjoyment as your top reason to love nature, it’s good to know you can find specialized content pertaining to health and care of Mid-Atlantic plants and trees. Also designed the website. (2010)

Content Marketing Institute (CMI)
Wondering how content marketing can help your online presence? I am a regular contributor to this thought-leader industry site. In addition, I produce case studies from other online content marketing experts.

Imperial College London
Americans might find a 7ft-tall thermometer a “weird” college mascot. Not so at one of the finest British institutions. Content for existing and prospective students as well as alumni takes a fun look at the history of, and current status of, mascotry at the university. (2010-current)

Mary Baldwin College
Environment-Based Learning is the next nationwide teaching trend; MBC is offering one of the only masters degree teacher certification programs, and yes, specialized online marketing content is required. (Via Moore Public Relations, 2010)

Shenandoah Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D)
Don’t be foolish: farmers are indeed aware of their vital role in restoring our natural world. Managing content online and offline assures multiple stakeholders are informed of progress. (2010-2013)

TXU
Everything is big in Texas – including the state’s largest utility company and it’s desire to offer innovation solar, wind, and other options to its customers. Brighten, TXU’s collection of consumer-level conservation products, requires specialized content marketing. (2010-current)

Web Content Strategy & Social Media: Food Retail

Mid-Atlantic States

Content strategy required for independent food retail, too

Challenge:
Inform the public about the products, services, and philosophy of one of the Mid-Atlantic’s few remaining independently-owned, USDA-inspected meat processing facilities.

Solution:
Develop content strategy and related copy for a social media presence and new, CMS-driven website.

Client:
T&E Meats, Harrisonburg, Virginia

Excerpt:

Why T&E Meats
In 2007 Joe Cloud joined forces with farmer, author, and activist Joel Salatin to save one of the few remaining independent, USDA-inspected abbatoirs in the Mid-Atlantic.

The existing butcher shop had been named “T&E Meat Market” after Tommy and Erma May, the previous owners. Cloud and Salatin renamed it “T&E: True and Essential” to highlight the crucial role meat processing plays in the local food ecosystem and to mark the difference between sustainabily-produced local meats and the industrial system.

T&E enables farmers in Virginia to raise and direct market quality livestock by providing excellent processing services under USDA inspection.

A small-scale facility like T&E Meats skillfully and respectfully butchers its livestock compared to the mechanised and inhumane systems common to most large commercial meat processing plants.

We are the only remaining full-service butcher shop and abbatoir in the Shenandoah Valley.
