BestColleges Marketing Promotions

During my time at Red Ventures, I worked on some promotional campaigns that were themed around a central topic. These campaigns included a suite of content (data studies, news stories, first-person student stories and guides), video content and a multi-platform promotional strategy (social media, public relations, email promotion).

Pride Month Hub and Campaign

In June 2022, I led the brainstorming and creation of our Pride Month content hub on BestColleges. The content was collected onto a landing page which featured custom, branded imagery. This imagery was used in social media posts and onsite promotional blocks. We worked with a partner, CampusPride, on our content and in our promotions as well.

This campaign featured a few different media types, including onsite digital ads, social media promotions and a series of videos. We promoted this content onsite, on our social media channels (and on Campus Pride’s social media channels as well), our Youtube page, via email promotion and through a formal public relations push.

We published 41 pieces of content for this hub and 6 videos. Our partnership allowed us to reach 10,000 new users via social media.
