While at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I oversaw all marketing strategy and creative execution for this iconic franchise. I collaborated with NBC-Universal, PBS, First Book, The NYC Tourism Board, and major retailers like Barnes & Noble and Amazon to grow audience engagement and drive product sales through digital campaigns, national in-store events, sweepstakes, and partnerships. I managed a 7-figure annual marketing budget, developed all campaign materials, and coordinated across multiple departments, agencies, and brand stakeholders, making sure things were on time and goals were met.

My goal was to drive consumer buzz, increase email acquisition, and maximize retail sell-in and sell-through via high- impact promotions, giveaways, partnerships, and advertising campaigns across both digital and print.
