Translate brand strategy into practical messaging frameworks, campaign briefs, editorial standards, and content guidelines.
Partner with creative team members and external agencies to deliver cohesive, high-quality brand experiences.
Integrated Content Strategy and Planning
Own the annual marketing and editorial calendar, aligning campaigns with product launches, promotions, events, sponsorships, and seasonal purchasing cycles.
Develop full-funnel content strategies that move priority audiences from awareness and consideration to conversion, loyalty, and advocacy.
Create and manage content across the website, email, social media, catalogs, sales materials, trade shows, PR, and internal communications.
Build a repeatable content development process that includes clear briefs, owners, milestones, approvals, and execution plans.
Repurpose high-value stories and assets across channels to extend reach, improve efficiency, and maintain message consistency.

Plan, write, and execute integrated campaigns for athletic directors, coaches, facility managers, administrators, dealers, and other customer segments.
Develop segmented email campaigns and nurture programs that support acquisition, product education, reactivation, and customer retention.
Partner with digital marketing and sales to create landing pages, lead-generation offers, calls to action, and conversion-focused content.
Test subject lines, messages, formats, audiences, and timing; use results to continuously improve engagement and conversion.
Social Media Strategy and Community Storytelling

Create content that strengthens UCS's authority and humanizes the brand, including customer stories, product education, installations, event coverage, industry insights, and behind-the-scenes features.
Build a consistent pipeline of user-generated content, testimonials, case studies, and success stories from schools, programs, athletes, coaches, and facilities.
Monitor industry conversations, audience engagement, competitive activity, and cultural trends to identify timely content opportunities.
Partner closely with the Social Media Manager, who owns day-to-day platform execution, publishing, community engagement, social listening, and channel-level reporting; this role sets direction and provides briefs, while the Social Media Manager runs execution.
Product Commercialization and Sales Enablement
Develop differentiated positioning, messaging, and content plans for new product introductions and priority product categories.
Translate technical product features into clear customer value for distinct audiences and buying environments.
Equip the sales team and dealer network with on-brand, easy-to-use content that supports stronger customer conversations and shorter sales cycles.
