As Director in Enterprise Marketing, I developed messaging for BEA's highly successful re-branding campaign including new logo (see left), revamped Web sites, and international media advertising to assert BEA's leadership as the premier provider of e-commerce solutions, which greatly contributed to a 61% increase in BEA revenues in 2000. I also increased effectiveness of sales efforts by developing customer references (including success stories, audio and video testimonials, and press releases) and product and corporate messaging for all marketing campaigns and events, and by managing internal and external Web marketing content.
