Fans of Reedus Together Website on 11 May 2022

Fans of Reedus Together

This multi-faceted project took place from 2021-2022. I developed a robust website utilizing WordPress with BuddyPress as a base. With a 100% customized BuddyPress theme, this site was a fully functioning online community for the fans of Norman Reedus with upwards of 2000+ unique visits daily. Included was a presence with a significant following on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. With the end of the AMC series “The Walking Dead”, the group allowed their domain name to expire so the site is currently offline.

American Panzer Battalion

The American Panzer Battalion is the official Sabaton fan club for the USA. The fan club had been inactive for almost 3 years, so Kristen is their new Social Media Manager for their Facebook presence. This is an ongoing project with the aim to revitalize and rejuvenate the American presence of the Swedish band and their fans in preparation for growth in the USA. Breaking into the North American music market is exceptionally difficult for an international band, so the social media presence is to soften the task and bring in more fans.

Zen Warrior Armory Website

Zen Warrior Armory Website

Zen Warrior Armory is a local company that has been serving the area for over 25 years! They provide custom handmade garments, swords, and armor to the SCA, HEMA, Stunt, and LARP communities, both locally and internationally.

This is a work in progress! The links here lead to my development area where you can see progress live in real-time as their site is built from scratch. When completed, this dev site will be transferred to their live servers under their own domain name.

Zen Warrior Armory Website Redesign and Maintenance

Zen Warrior Armory is an ongoing project! Their current site is at https://www.zenwarriorarmory.com but I have a development site undergoing work at https://zenwarrior.digital-kristen.com that you can preview and watch as it grows!

As a retailer of arms and armor, Zen has needed a unique design and interface to its site to become more competitive in the market. With an already extensive inventory and customer base, developing this site is slated to be a long-term project.

Social Media Manager for Sabaton’s American Panzer Battalion

Sabaton, a Swedish band, has had an American fan club for almost a decade, but it started suffering in 2021 and eventually, their American Panzer Battalion was completely inactive. I was brought in by the current admin to breathe new life into the American fanbase in preparation for an upcoming US tour. As an ongoing project, this challenge has proven to be very rewarding!

By utilizing organic growth methods, I have been able to increase reach, interactions, and growth by over 12K% over the span of a month! As a fellow Sabaton fan, I am able to interact with the fanbase in a way that is natural, optimizing content and post schedules to best fit with their insights and analytics on their chosen platform, Meta.
