ABPsi Career Center: Growth & Revenue Strategy
I lead the marketing strategy behind a national career center as a scalable revenue channel.
Segmented Employer Outreach. Targeted B2B campaigns that recruit healthcare systems, HBCUs and universities, and past job posters to invest in the platform.
Member Activation Campaigns. Resume Sweepstakes and member-facing growth that build the candidate pool employers pay to reach.
Test, Track, Adjust. Weekly strategy sessions, analytics reviews, and continuous outreach optimization. No guessing.
How I Think About This Channel
A two-sided revenue engine. The career center only makes money when both sides move. Employers pay to post and reach talent. Members supply the talent that makes posting worth it. I market to both at once and keep them in balance, because an employer push means nothing without candidates, and a full candidate pool means nothing without buyers.
I find revenue in untapped markets. Healthcare systems and universities are sitting demand nobody had pursued. Re-engaging past job posters is faster money than chasing cold leads. I prioritize outreach by where the dollars actually are.
I market the audience, not the product. Employers do not buy a job board, they buy access to a specialized talent pool they cannot reach anywhere else. So I lead with the audience: licensed and pre-licensed professionals in a niche they would otherwise have to fight for on a general site.
I run it like an operator, not a poster. Weekly strategy sessions, analytics reviewed and acted on, outreach adjusted to what converts. The channel is a system I tune, not a task I complete.
Social & Campaign Creative
Created brand and campaign assets for national audiences, from animated launches to program campaigns. Every asset tied to a goal: register, participate, or give.
