- Led cross-functional teams of Designers, Web Developers, and Social Executives across 40+ branch campaigns — maintained brand and campaign consistency without creative bottlenecks
- Resolved live server hack during an active campaign period — diagnosed misconfiguration, implemented Security Protocols, and secured the web server under live traffic without campaign downtime or SEO ranking loss
- Technical stack depth: Meta Pixel & CAPI setup, GTM container builds, GA4 event tracking, WhatsApp API integrations, CRM automation workflows, and server-side tracking — operates at the intersection of marketing and engineering
- App Marketing & Retention: Led app growth initiatives for Wingstop — running app-install and customer acquisition campaigns using targeted discounts and promotional offers, identifying UI/UX bottlenecks and coordinating with developers to reduce drop-offs, and deploying CRM segmentation with retargeting campaigns to drive repeat orders, retention, and customer lifetime value
