Projects
Built a lead generation program aimed at engaging aspiring entrepreneurs, including a series of engaging blog posts, informative webinars, and interactive social media campaigns that provided valuable insights and resources. By sharing success stories, expert interviews, and practical tips, we inspired participants to take the next steps in their entrepreneurial journey. We also incorporated lead magnets like free ebooks and exclusive access to events, which helped us generate leads while fostering a community engaged audience members in Kansas City and around the country.
Played a vital role in supporting efforts to design, execute, and manage a $39 million program and grant portfolio. This initiative aimed to accelerate entrepreneurial ecosystems as a crucial strategy for economic and community development across the United States. By fostering networks, establishing principles and culture, and providing essential tools and metrics, the team sought to nurture and grow successful entrepreneurial communities.
Through this project, we redeveloped and launched frontend and backend sites that supported volunteer organizers and communities across the country. This relaunch equipped volunteers with essential resources to manage and nurture community engagement. This program seeks to empower hundreds of organizers to create meaningful experiences with their communities.
