I’m Shawnee

Marketing &
Operations
Generalist

Cowgirl in tech 🀠

I've spent the last 5+ years in freelancing and helping startups go 0-1 by sheer optimism and curiosity.

I thrive in scrappy environments where adaptability and creative problem-solving are crucial.

Leading teams and managing budgets, I've helped drive brand growth through data-driven strategies.

Outside of work, I'm an enthusiastic home cook and have an unexpected fascination with cranes and cargo ships – as well as a passion for country music.

I'm always looking to learn and improve and if you're after someone who can bring both experience and new ideas to your team, let's talk.

Better than yesterday. Never as good as tomorrow.

Treasury Business Development

At Treasury, we tackled the challenge of startup business development through a strategic, research-driven approach to personalized outreach. Our method, focusing on in-depth company research and tailored communication, yielded valuable partnerships and crucial market insights despite limited resources. This project not only demonstrated the effectiveness of high-touch, customized business development strategies for startups but also highlighted the importance of balancing meticulous planning with swift execution.

Treasury Content Marketing

As the first marketing hire at Treasury, a spatial computing startup, I spearheaded the development and implementation of a comprehensive content marketing strategy. The project's primary objective was to define the emerging spatial computing market and create compelling content to attract and engage our target audience. Through these efforts, we organically grew our LinkedIn followers to over 800, newsletter subscribers to 1,500+, and achieved 300+ sign-ups for a single event – not only establishing Treasury's market presence but also positioning us as thought leaders in the spatial computing sector.

Peony Lane Content Marketing

As a marketer with a passion for helping brands bloom, I recently had the pleasure of working on a content marketing project for Peony Lane. This project was an exciting challenge that allowed me to merge my love for creativity with data-driven strategies. Let me take you through our journey of growth, learning, and yes, a few thorns along the way.

Peony Lane Email Marketing

The Peony Lane Email project showcases the rapid success of a strategic email marketing initiative. In just four months, it achieved an 88% increase in subscribers and generated over $1,000 in revenue from a starting point of zero, demonstrating the power of targeted email communications in building customer relationships and driving business growth.

Tiger Mist Lifecycle Marketing

At Tiger Mist, we tackled below-average customer retention rates by implementing a comprehensive lifecycle marketing strategy. The approach involved mapping the customer journey, enhancing audience segmentation across all marketing channels, and developing personalized content tailored to specific audience segments and regions. This data-driven initiative successfully raised retention rates to industry standards while fostering a more customer-centric approach throughout the organization.
