Great Parks of Hamilton County | Email Marketing
Hi there! I'm Caroline!
Currently, I work as the Content Manager for the Catholic Health Association. While in this role, my work has been more technical. Clips for this are coming soon.
Before that, I was the Content Marketing Director at Great Parks of Hamilton County, where I managed and produced engaging, timely content for Great Parks' channels including blog, newsletters, social media, ads, website, and more. I maintained brand voice and style across platforms. I managed social media accounts until March 2023. If you'd like to see more of how I curated content, the Great Parks social media accounts and blog are linked below. During my tenure at Great Parks, I also led growth and engagement initiatives across social media platforms, blog pageviews, and email marketing.
Formerly: Contributing Writer for Cincy Magazine and NKY Magazine; Community Leader at Athleta; Content Publisher and Social Media Specialist, AI Software, Inc.
