DescOutreach Programs: Developed a new strategy for ARIs eLearning website, Campus, that seamlessly integrates with the overall digital ecosystem for ARI. With the strategy as the blueprint, execution began by developing the user experience, designing the look of the website, and creating content (written, video and imagery) to populate the website. Promoted the ideas and authors of two books applying Ayn Rand's ideas and one newly published book by Ayn Rand. Arranged for 68 public speaking events including debates, talks and panel discussions in the US, and 66 speaker events in 19 countries outside the US, in cooperation with think tank and university partners in Europe, Israel, and Latin America. Launched 4 foreign-language websites. Began hosting a blogtalk radio show as well as a terrestrial radio show located in Chicago, Ill. Both shows air weekly on Saturdays. ARI speakers were interviewed on international, as well as national and local radio and TV shows (both traditional and Internet), and hosted and appeared on various podcasts. Additionally, ARI had op-eds and articles published in written and online publications around the world. Prepared final manuscript for publisher of Ayn Rand's previously unpublished novel Ideal and supported on line advertising and social networking promotion supplementing the publisher's display advertising efforts in airports and bookstores.Desc
