In his role, Centrella will guide engagement campaigns, digital fundraising campaigns, paid media, and search and display marketing, email campaigns, social media storytelling, website design, mobile platform development and more.
“Over the past few years, the expectations of constituents, donors, supporters, advocates and alumni have changed,” Centrella stated in a press release. “They want to be engaged and solicited where they are and on their own terms.
