Brand Strategy
Portfolio
I was responsible for building and maintaining the online brand and image of Lennar Tampa and its subsidiary. In order to excel in my role, I managed agency relationships and led innovative projects such as photoshoots, virtual renderings, 3-D Matterports and self-guided tours on Lennar.com.
During the Lennar.com rebrand I led our team in the creation and publication of 78 Matterports in under 3 weeks. In preparation for the launch of the new Lennar website, the team I led received national recognition for quick execution, handling of resources, quality of branded material, and efficiencies for 83+ communities from our executive leaders.
Social Media - Paid

I led the paid social media strategy for North America and played a leadership role on global projects like the Tech Talent Brand.
My goal in executing the Go To Market Plans for projects like Tech Comms was to expand the reach and effectiveness of Tech Comm publications to key tech audiences by:
Social Media

I managed partnerships and a team of marketers to develop a diverse and engaging content strategy inclusive of video, motion graphics, and still images. My goal was to drive sales and foot traffic by:
Paid Media (PPC)
Portfolio
I created marketing strategies that put the Meta Career brand in front of our target audiences, and met audiences where they were, in an engaging and effective way that converted prospects and passive talent into applicants.
This focus led to a desire to drive unprecedented lead generation, our measure for success, at scale through strategic multi-channel campaigns and a diversity first approach. With the help of our agency, where I served as the lead relationship point of contact, we used a Pay Per Click (PPC) strategy and exceeded our benchmark CTR goal of 5%.
The accelerate eng paid search campaign I led generated an ad copy click through rate (CTR) of 12.05% for all ads, which surpassed the overall benchmark goal of 5%. This translates to a high volume lift of traffic directly to high priority landing pages. This resulted in 5,291 leads for the North American region in under 6 months.
Paid Media (PPC)
Portfolio
With the aim of optimizing our advertising cost per lead and enhancing market trend adaptability, I undertook the implementation of targeted modifications to our online verbiage and call-to-action (CTA) elements within our lead nurture and advertising platforms. By applying industry-leading pay-per-click (PPC) best practices and strategies, we sought to achieve more efficient and effective outcomes.
In under 12 months, we were able to drive down our overall digital ad spend by 52% with an overall online lead increase of 46%. This drove our cost per lead down by 67% from $64.75 to $21.36.
Editorials & Blogs
Portfolio
I led the 2022 Recruitment Marketing strategy for Technical Project Managers (TPMs) to attract talent and create an overall awareness into the role.
To do this, we told the stories of their unique work, while navigating the complexities of creating a strategy that would land in front of diverse technical talent.
In 2022 I partnered with Power To Fly and Global Diversity, to publish an editorial that received over 5K impressions and 3.2K unique pageviews within 30 days, making it the top performing editorial globally out of the 5 published articles in 2022. Overall the editorial performed 419% better in PowerToFly’s social impressions and 102% better in pageviews than the second best performing editorial 'Inclusion in the Metaverse' with one application submission by its 30 day mark. My strategy was focusing on Emily’s diverse work and educational background which resonated with aspiring tech audiences. This was done in a true diversity first approach which was received extremely well by our audience.

Thank you so much, Yainis, for reviewing the Blueprint Practice Exam items and mapping them to the relevant courses. Your work as a subject matter expert to make sure practice test and exam items are aligned with content updates and product changes is critical in the exam development and maintenance process. Your work contributed to the development of fair, valid, and reliable practice tests and exams for the Digital Marketing Associate track. The Blueprint team is very thankful for your time and contribution! - Debbie Slutzky, Meta Blueprint Team
"Yai, this thanks is long overdue, but I wanted to make sure that I give you your flowers for being one of the BEST #xfn partners I've worked with. Not only did you put your all into the TPM editorial with PowerToFly (which has the most views at 2,000+ of the past four editorials) but you saw an opportunity to uplevel the Attract team on partner-created editorials and took it. I am so grateful for your leadership there. It was the motivation I needed to create the diversity partner editorial playbook for my ops re-org workstream, which will make it so much easier for members of Attract to activate partner editorials. That's how influential you are. IMPACT: Yainis's TPM editorial has the highest number of pageviews (3,243) and unique pageviews (2,784) of all Meta PowerToFly editorials this year. Note: Meta's PowerToFly editorials average around 1,500 pageviews." - Jazmyn Williams, Global Diversity Team Meta
