Oversaw all phases of development and implementation of the website, e-commerce store, and digital music delivery system, including: Concept, design, content management, sales applications, media delivery and multi-media features. Coordinated designers, developers, and server-side delivery.
Shepherded creative projects for print and web from concept to delivery. Ensured that the aesthetic, identity, UX, and quality standards of the label were adhered to and well communicated. Created original designs for albums, websites, html e-mails and newsletters, books, posters, catalogs, advertisements, etc. Updated (and in many cases rebuilt) pre-digital package designs to meet current digital printing standards. Managed client relations, budgets, time-lines, and in-house and freelance designers.
As the primary spokesperson for the label I developed and managed press, social media marketing, and advertising campaigns.
