eBook Creation Highlights:

Creative Direction:
Led the design process to ensure the website reflected Sounding Board’s brand identity while offering a seamless user experience.
Collaboration Across Teams:
The success of each eBook hinges on seamless collaboration. From the outset, I worked closely with marketing, sales, and product teams to determine the most pressing needs and pain points of our target audience.
Content Development:
For each eBook, the content had to be more than just text—it had to engage, educate, and provide real value to the reader. Topics ranged from leadership coaching strategies to success stories, and we made sure the content was tailored to our ideal audience: senior HR leaders, talent management executives, and decision-makers in companies of all sizes.
Design and User Experience (UX):
The design of each eBook was carefully crafted to provide an intuitive, visually appealing experience. I worked alongside the design team to create dynamic visuals, including infographics and charts, that complemented the content while maintaining a consistent brand identity.
Lead Capture and Conversion:
Each eBook was designed to do more than educate; it was built with lead-generation in mind. Embedded within the content were calls-to-action (CTAs) encouraging users to download the eBook in exchange for their contact information.
