Your core technical / professional experience
At [Current Company], I built the content strategy from zero — defining 6 content pillars, launching an editorial operation with 8 freelance writers, and publishing 150+ articles in 14 months. The result: organic traffic grew from 8K to 120K monthly sessions, with 68 articles ranking page 1. I led the keyword strategy targeting 300+ commercial-intent terms, and created a gated content program (ebooks + webinars) that generated 3,200 MQLs — 28% of total marketing pipeline.
