My full name is Rebecca Mae Cichelli but friends call me Mae.
Throughout my career, I have become a leader in user engagement, account based marketing, brand narrative, and collaborating with global teams to execute complex strategies.
As a digital storyteller, I rely on a thorough analysis of consumer data and engagement touch-points to fuel my creativity. Utilizing this user data, the digital campaigns I have launched are strategically distributed to the right people at the right time with authenticity.
In the past 16 years, I have gained demonstrable experience in:
- Leading a cross-functional ABM program;
- B2B enterprise and B2C demand generation initiatives;
- launching integrative marketing campaigns for both SaaS and direct to consumer products;
- managing design assets both with an agency and Adobe Creative Suite tools;
- product naming and go-to-marketing strategy;
- executing new product and feature launches;
- corporate identity and brand strategy;
- affiliate program launches;
- SEO, SEM, Social and content development;
- applying social theory and behavior psychology to user engagement;
- professional mentoring
I thrive on taking raw ideas and working effectively across various platforms and organizational departments to ensure successful campaign and product launches. With a varied history of international and Bay Area tech companies, I enjoy working in fast-paced, entrepreneurial-minded environments.
Beyond this expertise, I have a strong belief in empowering my community. I show this by being a Board member of the North Oakland Community Charter School, a leader in the East Bay Trail Sisters running group, a mentor in the University of San Francisco Alumni Mentorship program, and a gardening volunteer at the City Slickers Farm in Oakland. I also guest lecture regularly at the University of San Francisco and Seattle University.
