• Increased UOT website traffic by 200% in three years by leading the redevelopment of UOT’s consumer-facing website, visitutah.com, to allow for greater scale and future growth opportu- nities. Redesign also resulted in increased session duration, return visits and decreased bounce rate.  The new website redesign and mobile optimization strategy was selected by Google as a case study on successful mobile strategies.• Developed a measurement methodology for digital marketing efficiency, based on statistical analysis to determine which digital marketing metrics were most predictive of hotel and airline bookings. Findings confirmed click-through rate is not a predictive KPI for future travel behavior and allowed for digital marketing programs to be optimized based on post-impression rate.
