Lauren Dunmore’s Achievements at COMATCH
Making History as COMATCH’s First Content Marketing Manager
After her work at Gnosis, Lauren Dunmore moved on to COMATCH, in Berlin, Germany to become the company’s first-ever Content Marketing Manager.
Prior to her work at COMATCH, the company used its expert network to write articles and then shared the content via PDF to their clients.
Noticing that this may not be the best strategy, she created a new process that involved revamping the entire website and developing a blog to house all content that was being created.
The company’s blog is now a well-oiled machine that includes some of the most authoritative content pieces on consulting topics that have also been featured in a variety of the top management consulting blogs in the digital space.
In addition to Dunmore’s overhaul of their content strategy, she also overhauled the way in which they were working with their consultant network.
With her expertise, COMATCH now has a streamlined content creation process and a new strategy that embraces tried and true digital marketing tactics like SEO.
With Dunmore leading their content marketing department, the company has increased online visibility, strengthened authority in their industry, and a more engaged social media audience. All of this has led to more accessibility for their clientele.
