From the ground up

(AKA, some of my favorite marketing campaigns.)

I’m building brand awareness consideration for DoorDash’s New Verticals — the brand’s foray into grocery, alcohol, and retail delivery. At any given moment, I’m working across a bunch of integrated marketing campaigns, all at various stages: strategy and concept, campaign asset production, execution, and performance reporting. Scroll for a few of my favorite projects.

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, people don’t want to go out of their way to treat themselves and raise their glasses. They want to grab an easy drink, finding quick excuses to treat themselves fast, and cheers with friends.

That’s where we come in. DoorDash brings boozy moments to consumers in as little as 40 minutes; the instant gratification of getting something fast is even more delightful.

Nothing says unwind after a long day quite like opening a refrigerator door and grabbing your alcohol of choice. So, we brought a kitchen fridge-inspired pop-up to consumers in Chicago and D.C. for a post-work, quick-fix delight at their favorite bars. Plus, DashPass members got a drink (or two) on the house.

Having ramped awareness around our grocery offering, we opened up a fresh Figma and started our work with the next category: alcohol.

We launched a full-funnel campaign with a focused, single-minded message backed by audience insights — that consumers can get the alcohol they want, delivered fast through DoorDash.

I partnered with an external agency to develop sharp, brand-forward creatives. True to our expectations, the campaign overperformed on alllllllll of the KPIs, driving orders and retention. Cheers to that!

When Queen Bey drops an album, everyone drops what they’re doing, including DoorDash. Whether you’re singing Jolene in your kitchen, or listening to the album cover to cover, we wanted to inspire consumers to evoke their inner Cowboy Carter each moment of the day — with cowboy hats delivered through DoorDash.

Like our other viral response campaigns, we turned this campaign around in a matter of days, with lifts in cowboy hat sales and engagement. Plus, Party City got in on the action too.

As part of our Sustaining Sponsorship of Sundance Film Festival, we delivered on giving attendees an award-worthy festival experience. How? We popped up a concierge service on Main Street to show that consumers can not only get anything from DoorDash, but also get the most out of their time in Park City. Advil for the post-after party hangover, tickets to the hottest screenings, a personal assistant for our DashPass members — we showed up for our consumers.

We nabbed features in AdWeek and local press and served over 8,000 attendees, among a bunch of wins.

New year’s. It’s a time when everyone wants focus on being a better version of themselves in the New Year. But, life gets in the way, and they can’t make their resolutions a reality. That’s where DoorDash comes in, delivering consumers’ resolutions —which we learned is overwhelmingly eating healthier and working out more.

We collaborated with trusted voices to help consumers develop their goals and stay motivated: editorial content on Men’s Health, Women’s Health, and Cosmopolitan; social content from cookbook author and registered dietician Rachael DeVaux; and more social content from Peleton instructor Kendall Toole. We also had a rollout of content on our editorial platform, Block Party: here, here, here, here, and here.

DoorDash has excelled as a restaurant delivery service — but we’re looking to break through the perception and tell consumers that we excel as an anything delivery service. That starts with developing a robust set of evergreen creatives that reaffirm our value props and our commitment to the consumer.

So, we developed videos and statics, which span our new verticals, for our paid channels — they’re functional, yet rooted in our brand voice.

🎶 Girl dinner, girrrrrrl dinnerrrrr, guuuuuurl dinnnerrrrrrrrrrr 🎶

When Girl Dinner took the internet by storm, we knew we had to participate in the conversation. After all, nothing says “Girl Dinner” than being able to get cheese and crackers, hummus and pita chips, Swedish Fish, popcorn, and wine delivered to your door in one go.

We turned this campaign around in a day, but our imprint was everlasting. (Well, however long trends last, anyway). We saw significant engagement with our product carousel on DashMart and generated buzz on social (see here, here, here, here, aaaaaand here). BRB, still singing.

ALDI’s arrival on DoorDash in March 2023 was big — and we wanted to celebrate in a big way. Zeroing in on awareness (that consumers can find ALDI on DoorDash) as our marketing goal, we developed these stunning co-branded OOH creatives, which rolled out in Houston.

The results? A significant increase in aided awareness, improvements in perceptions of our grocery offerings, and a happy partner. Goodness all around.

As we ramped up marketing efforts around our grocery offerings, our team wondered how we could get creative. Enter: in-store media.

We partnered with merchants on our platform like Albertsons and Safeway to advertise in their brick-and-mortar stores and developed creatives to do so. While our primary goal was to drive awareness around DoorDash’s grocery offerings, we were also mindful of our relationships with our merchant partners — that our messaging didn’t discourage the in-store grocery shopping experience for consumers, but instead supplement it.

We saw only good things — like a significant increase in volume to our grocery category. Yay!

As consumers are on the edges of their seats during the arguable height of March Madness, Sweet 16, there’s an equally exciting reprieve from the tense competition on DashMart — though here, everyone’s a winner: Snack Playoffs.

Tapping into consumers’ emotional investment into their favorite snacks — and knowing they’re snacking while watching the games — we had consumers pick and buy their favorites (accompanied by a promo offer, of course) for four rounds. The snack with the most orders proceeded to the next round.

The assets we developed celebrated the pomp and circumstance of March Madness throughout the month, while staying rooted in DashMart’s core brand tone and vis ID. At the end of the month, we saw a spike in snacks featured in the creatives sold, volume per day, and retention.

Fact: The holidays are stressful. Another fact: There are people to see, parties to attend, and most pressing of them all, food to cook. That’s where DashMart comes in, providing consumers with everything they need to make their celebrations delightful — whether it’s getting them that missing ingredient or sparking holiday recipe inspiration.

I oversaw DashMart’s holiday rollout, which included: devising each moment’s messaging, working with the Creative Studio team to blend the brand’s evergreen design system with the moment’s festivity, collaborating with DoorDash Chief Restaurant Officer Pinky Cole and cookbook author Shalean Ghitis to develop relevant recipes, and partnering with the CPG team to produce the best assets for sponsors.

DashMart’s committed to uplifting local businesses. That’s best embodied by the DoorDash Accelerator for Local Goods, a program empowering entrepreneurs who are women, immigrants and refugees, and BIPOC by giving them resources, education, and funding to jump-start their businesses.

To raise consumer awareness around the program and optimize conversion on accelerator participants’ products, I led the rollout of the brand-level marketing campaigns for both cohorts of the program. The results? Great customer acquisition, strong in-app engagement, and happy small business owners. A win-win!

DashMart’s second-annual Recipe Week was the first campaign I spearheaded at DoorDash — and probably my favorite.

For 7 days, our favorite foodies (including a TV host and a James Beard award-winning chef) shared signature recipes, all using ingredients delivered by DashMart. The campaign’s core message to consumers? That DashMart is the #1 destination for fresh groceries.

At TIME, I oversaw the development of social-first, multi-platform proposals, partnerships, and campaigns for clients of Red Border, the publication’s award-winning branded content studio. My goals? Increase digital reach, drive conversation, and build on overall awareness on social. Scroll for a few of my favorite projects.

Next Generation Leaders

Next Generation Leaders is probably my favorite TIME editorial franchise; it’s a celebration of young people who are working to build a better world.

I wanted to go above and beyond the turnkey social strategy of laureate lockup assets, shown here. So, I introduced the idea of seamless carousels and quote cards — asset ideas that the client loved.

TIME's Women of the Year franchise, sponsored by P&G, spotlights women leaders who are working towards a more equal world and future.

Beyond devising a social strategy promoting the editorial hub (and which consisted of beautiful nominee lockup assets, an example of which shown here), I constructed and launched TIME's first ever TikTok ads campaign, developing a paid social strategy around the Women of the Year in-person event activation. The resulting videos were engaging and timely, featuring red carpet attendees telling TIME about the women who inspire their own work. One of 3 videos are shown here.
