Statewide Record Clearing Campaign
SNAPSHOT:
Led a statewide digital awareness campaign that reached an estimated 3-5M+ Californians with critical record clearance law updates, on a $65K paid media budget
THE CHALLENGE:
California’s record clearance laws had changed, but most eligible residents had no idea the law applied to them, no clear way to check their status, and no simple path to apply
No existing digital presence connected the legal change to the people it affected
Needed to translate dense legal/policy language into something a general public audience would act on
MY ROLE:
Led a cross-functional team of digital ad specialists, creative video team, and web designers from strategy through launch
Owned platform strategy and budget allocation across Meta, Google, and YouTube
Directed the web team’s build of ExpungeMyRecord.org, defining pathways to expungement for website visitors
THE APPROACH:
Built a full-funnel strategy: paid ads for awareness → dedicated microsite for education → pathways to expungement for conversion
Chose Meta, Google, and YouTube specifically to combine broad awareness (video, display ads) with Google search strategies
Designed the site around three objectives: check your record status, find a local expungement clinic, apply for expungement — rather than a basic “Learn More” page
THE EXECUTION:
Targeted ads to disproportionately affected Black and Latinx audiences via interest-targeted niche audiences like BET, Univision, California regional sports teams, and social workers/parole officers
Aimed most efficient cost per completed view (CPCV) at rates that allow investment in engagement while delivering
