Start-to-Finish Campaigns





Faith-Based Funnel Campaign



Developed a multi-part lifecycle campaign for a niche spiritual brand offering digital products to emotionally distressed users. Messaging was segmented by persona archetypes, then refined for tone calibration across lead magnets, email flows, and upsells. Combined narrative resonance with soft urgency, resulting in >5% lead-to-purchase conversion. All messaging was generated via AI-assisted workflows and manually refined for emotional clarity and trustworthiness.

BetterVitals: Health Onboarding & UX Messaging



Wrote onboarding emails, product prompts, and dashboard microcopy for a remote health monitoring platform. Voice and structure were optimized for clarity, reassurance, and low-friction engagement—especially for older users and caregivers. Messaging reduced first-day drop-off by ~18% and improved activation timing. All copy followed HIPAA-safe content structure and was pressure-tested in tone reviews with the product team.

EdTech Course Funnel & Reactivation Campaign



Created landing page hero content, blog entries, and email drip sequences for an adult-learning platform targeting returning students. Copy was mapped to funnel stage (awareness, decision, reactivation) and adjusted for behavioral cues—like deadline proximity and dropout risk. Final content improved email conversion by 9% and lifted time-on-page for course pages by 22%. SEO optimization was structured around low-competition long-tail queries relevant to working adults.
