To jump right in, my first role in this case study focused on developing a content strategy centered on video and visual clarity to differentiate the four core brands under Southwestern Financial Group while maintaining a unified identity. Structured style guides ensured consistency across platforms, enabling each subsidiary to communicate its unique value without losing the strength of the parent brand.

Brand Confusion

Campaign Strategy: Email Marketing
TAGS|
To improve email marketing, CRM databases had to be reorganized and properly segmented. Campaign performance was analyzed across multiple webinars, comparing engagement by time zone, messaging, and user behavior. This revealed whether performance differences were driven by timing or content.
Taking the sample audience segment Capital Allocators (CAs), the data below presents a performance comparison between the La Paloma (LP) and Livestock Leasing (LL) webinars, with the additional tab focusing on CAs in the CST time zone. Insights like these help illustrate how and when audiences engage with content.

Below are mock-up ads designed to run alongside these campaigns, helping drive attention to our investment opportunities. Both are equally important.
