From the beginning of her career, Candace has been an advocate for the use of digital marketing as a main pillar in any marketing campaign. Below, you’ll find examples of Candace’s past work, and notes about each campaign’s performance.
Magic of Christmas, 2018
In 2018, the Charlotte Symphony rebranded its traditional holiday performance, Magic of Christmas. The rebrand took the popular performance to a new theater, increased to 10 performances over two weekends close to Christmas, and made the performance more interactive with the audience. Below is a sample of the Facebook campaign that Candace managed. The 8-week aggressive campaign involved content of all types, including video, photos, and strategic utilization of image assets from former years. The campaign included timeline posts, dark posts with targeted discount messages to select patrons, and retargeting messages for those who had visited the webpage but had not purchased.
This campaign performed at a 267% ROI.
