Chadwick School
Recruitment Website Content & Communications Plan

Chadwick School is a private, K-12 co-educational day school. As part of an effort to attract new students and increase enrollment, the school launched a new recruitment-focused website, for which I wrote all copy. I also developed a new campus-wide, cross-channel communications plan, working across teams and departments to integrate web, social, email, print advertising and events with an academic calendar year content schedule that improved the cohesiveness of their messaging.

UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate
Marketing Brochure

I developed the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate's first fully integrated marketing and communications program, which included this

16-page marketing brochure. It functioned as an umbrella piece to attract and inform members of their diverse constituency, including students, faculty, alumni, donors, volunteers, media and community leaders. I managed end-to-end production and was the sole copywriter of the piece, conducting several interviews. The brochure enjoyed a 3+ year lifespan as the Center’s primary print marketing collateral.
