Background: When the decision was made to change the name to CHF Solutions, the directive from executive management was to move quickly on re-branding. This was due to the critical need to raise money for the company to survive. I was tasked with creating all the marketing materials, redesigning the website, creating the new logo, color palette, and guidelines for a phase I launch.
At Sunshine Heart, I was tasked with the Marketing and Communications management for the company. At the time of arrival, Sunshine Heart was in need of a corporate website redesign. The site focus was to move away from Investors and primarily focus on patients. Search Engine Optimization was critical and patient education/outreach was vital to the success of enrollment into the clinical study. The corporate website funneled traffic to the COUNTER HF microsite to qualify and manage leads into the back-end lead system that ultimately pushed qualified leads to the clinical specialists at each participating study site.
Background: With a team of one, I wrote, designed, and rebuilt CHF-Solutions.com via WordPress. A big challenge was paying close attention to re-directing links properly and managing the SEO equity that was built up from Sunshineheart.com. The company could have lost 10k visitors overnight if this wasn't handled properly.
Background: Redesigning Sunshine Heart with a strong focus on patient education and driving enrollment into COUNTER HF Clinical Study was the primary objective. Previously, the website had a strong focus on raising money and to drive investors to invest in the C-Pulse Heart Assist System.
Background: One of the most important web marketing tools the company had for driving patient enrollment was the COUNTER HF Clinical Study microsite. The objective was to push pre-qualified leads generated from all the marketing touch-points to the lead portal. To review the business case study and success metrics, click the button below.
Background: At St. Jude Medical, I had many roles and locations, but started in the Cardiology Division in Minnetonka (in the old Daig buildings). As I grew in a Marketing Communication role, I quickly saw opportunities for the company to expand and grow online. I worked to build out a unique product page experience that eventually became the standard on sjm.com. I also worked on the ESCAPE Migraine Clinical Trial driving patient leads online through PPC, Facebook, and banner ads. We had a lot of success driving leads, but in the end the protocol became a problem for enrollment. Eventually, St Jude Medical centralized the Web Marketing and I had the privilege of being apart of the future development of sjm.com and the SJMProfessional websites, along with many Cardiovascular Division web projects from acquisitions to strategic divisional and company initiatives. St. Jude Medical eventually disbanded the Global Marketing Communications group, which sent me in a different direction – aviation training.
Background: It was an exciting time to be working in Web Marketing Strategy at St Jude Medical from 2008 to 2010. We were redesigning, improving the user experience, and creating innovative approaches to delivering critical information for the customer. Working closely with the Sales Division and Corporate to develop a strategy, along with an architecture to support the entire business was very exciting. Once that framework was built, supporting the product division and the strategic initiatives became attainable and turn-key.
