Monarch by SimplePractice
2020 - 2022 | Content, creative marketing, social media, and growth strategies for mental health tech company
About
MeetMonarch.com (now known as TherapyFinder.com) is a B2B2C platform powered by SimplePractice to help individuals find a mental health therapist. SimplePractice is a leading B2B health tech company, offering software to streamline therapy practice management. As one of the team's initial marketing hires dedicated to the launch of the consumer Monarch product, I built and led marketing strategies, social media, content, and creative assets from scratch. I worked closely with product, research, and editorial leads to understand user needs, drive engagement, and build the brand from the ground up.
Challenge
Despite working with minimal resources and a blank slate, I successfully developed and executed strategies across brand, creative, social media, content, and growth marketing to introduce Monarch to the world. I got my hands dirty in all aspects of the process – diving into research, establishing workflows, building social media channels, crafting and editing content, establishing partnerships, and more. Alongside collaboration with key stakeholders, I helped bring Monarch to life and transform the way thousands of people connect with mental health therapists.
