(a year)
I wrote a daily (M-F) morning newsletter covering the financial markets and geopolitics, and investigating macro and micro themes of enduring interest (e.g. AI, new energy, corporate governance, government relations, fiscal and monetary policy, M&A, the supply chain, startups, private equity, corporate marketing, customer retention, brand management, and the blockchain ecosystem, among others) and compiling the firm's proprietary macro research, technical analysis, and crypto intelligence – going out each morning to a paying audience of 10,000+ made up of institutional professionals, RIAs, and accredited individual investors, as well as journalists in the financial media. After running a firm-wide brand-identity exercise, I was heavily involved in efforts to grow the number of subscribers to the firm's research, working with the marketing, media, customer service, and IT departments to create and execute fresh, original campaigns on a year-round schedule. Finally, I wrote marketing copy and industry/trend reports as needed, while editing others' reports and copy, including the firm's website, landing pages, brochures, and email templates.
