• Drive Business-to-Consumer Traffic • Drive beneficiary engagement. Build the marketing engine that gets soon-to-be and current Medicare beneficiaries to discover, trust, and use MyALEXHealth. We're not naive - this market is noisy, predatory, and confusing. Breaking through will take creativity, tenacity, and a willingness to try things that haven't been done before. • Own social media strategy. Pick the platforms where we can win (hint: not all of them). Build presence, generate leads, foster community. Befriend influencers who can amplify us. Create content that doesn't feel like "brand content." • Become obsessed with our users. Understand how new-to-Medicare consumers think, what they fear, where they seek information, what language resonates. Build relationships through helpful, honest communication that doesn't talk down to them. • Partnerships and visibility. Find organizations and influencers in the Medicare ecosystem who can help us build credibility and reach. Co-marketing, speaking gigs, media opportunities - whatever gets us in front of the right people. • Own the website. Strategy, execution, optimization. Make it a place people actually want to visit. • Keep tabs on competitors. Not to copy them - to know what's out there and where the gaps are. • Make a lot of stuff. Emails, posts, case studies, webinars, eBooks, direct mail, pitch decks, whatever it takes. You'll work with a Lead Writer and Visual Designer, but you're the strategist and quarterback. You know what to make, when to make it, and how to test whether it worked. • Manage leads and customers through Hubspot. That’s our homebase and CRM. • Track everything. Monitor performance, test relentlessly, report what's working and what isn't. We learn as much from failures as successes - maybe more. • Stay compliant. Medicare marketing has rules. Lots of them. You'll make sure we follow them while still being ourselves.
