I’m Ros Hodgekiss, Senior Project Manager at Campaign Monitor, email marketing nerd and Disaster Specialist & Trainer with the American Red Cross.
I live San Francisco, with roots in Australia and the Philippines.
My specialist areas include:

Results in FY18 Q1-Q2 include: IRT reduced from 33 hours to < 1 hour, 10% reduction in case time-to-resolution, Support Contact Index (SCI) reduced from 0.109 to 0.066.
- Email marketing – 10+ years of design, operations and analysis experience, including the publication of definitive HTML email guides and resources.
- Design & Code – Dynamic content & API integration on the ‘Email Personalization’ landing page and email. Visual refresh of support.myemma.com.

- Things that make you happy.
