    I’ll start out with what you care about: Results.  Led marketing strategies and implementation for an iPhone/iPad game that achieved 1 Million downloads in less than a year.  Recent Google Ads are receiving 22% Click Through Rate. (I can prove this. Just ask)  Counseled Law Firm on their paid advertising strategy and corresponding platforms resulting in a cost savings of 25% and increased revenue 32%.  Led Strategic marketing for a National Travel Agency through PPC optimization and Video Facebook advertising. Results have achieved 20% YOY growth in revenue each year. I have worked on Upwork since 2009, so there is a lot of history. I have earned over $300,000 with over 160+ jobs. My website is madison worldwide dot com. With my recommendations and implementation, I more often allow your company to produce greater results at less spend. I know I command a higher rate on Upwork, but with over $300,000+ earned on Upwork as well as the fact that I have been asked to do publicity for Upwork in the past, I hope you will give me a chance to get great results for your company. I I am also a big believer in analytics. They are the only way to prove what marketing tactics are working for you and your company. Every business is unique and although there are tactics that work better than others for most companies, constant message testing, and utilization of unique tools and strategies and A/B testing should always be employed. As you will note, my background is both broad and deep and involves agency and client side marketing, entertainment marketing, heavy online marketing, experiential/event marketing, sponsorship, traditional advertising, guerrilla marketing, social media and other forms of emerging and engagement media as well as significant technology marketing including SaaS, Apps and various other technology products and services. What is my background? I am glad you asked. With my high profile corporate experience as a foundation, I enjoy helping smaller clients and entrepreneurs bring their visions to life. My past experience is working for big advertising agencies such as BBDO, Y&R, Ogilvy & Mather and DDB working on Healthcare, Automotive, and Consumer brands such as Starbucks. Then, I went client side and worked for Hilton Hotels for almost 10 years in a senior marketing position overseeing their worldwide corporate partners such as Coca Cola and the Olympics on behalf of all the brands under the Hilton Umbrella. Then I went on to Entertainment and Philanthropy contract positions with Live Earth, TED, and XPRIZE Foundation. With my own company, I have helped over 200 companies become more successful in their marketing strategies and campaigns. I enjoy both small and large companies and very much like long term projects. Here are some additional areas I have a lot of experience in:  Branding  Public Relations  Content Marketing Strategies, Development and Implementation  Blog Outreach  Sales Funnels  AI Marketing  Online Digital Strategy and Implementation  Graphic Design (Social Media Promotions, Brochures, Direct Mail)  Overall Website Development and Design  PPC including Adwords (I am a Google Agency) Project and Team Management  Event Planning/Management (From corporate roundtables in India and Singapore to a global concert chaired by VP Al Gore that reached 2 Billion people to a conference at the United Nations for 350+ Thought leaders)  SEO Improvement I have proven my ability to lead strategy and development of any campaign, brand or initiative involving many stakeholders and am adept at gaining consensus across multiple constituents when necessary. In other words, I play well with others. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Cathleen Lewis
