  • Provide detailed reports and presentations synthesizing multiple data points into insights that can be used to improve performance and initiatives across all digital channels.
  • Work collaboratively with our agency partners to determine appropriate ROI-based success metrics that inform current and future paid search and organic/SEO campaign development.
  • Leverage social media monitoring tools to develop a dashboard that better allows us to track and analyze online conversations and feedback about the Wisconsin Historical Society and its sites.
  • Record team weekly KPI's and monitor for improvements and provide actionable insights.
  • Explore new best practices in digital marketing and stay on top of industry trends.
  • Serve as the go-to expert resource on a variety of digital initiatives, providing research, recommendations, and deliverables that support client needs and achieve goals.
  • Be an evangelist and resource for the communications team for all digital communication initiatives.

  • 3 - 5 years of professional experience in a digital marketing role.
