Seattle Sounders FC
Developing the online identity and brand for a new professional sports organization was a challenging and rewarding experiencing. Launching as MLSinSeattle.com in late 2007 and as SoundersFC.com in the middle of 2008, the club's strategy as democracy in sports is brought to life online.
With the first integrated social network in professional soccer, SoundersFC.com is the most visited club website in Major League Soccer. Supporter centric features such as forums, user video/photo uploads and supporter written blogs, gives control of the site back to its users. View now.
University of Oregon
In four years at the University of Oregon Department of Intercollegiate Athletics my expertise helped move GoDucks.com from a low revenue, high cost initiative to an efficient revenue stream.
Highlighted by a complete redesign in 2007, the project was deemed a success via increased sponsorship revenue, development of a successful subscription audio/video channel and an overall increase in site impressions. View now.
