In 2012 I founded the Inkkas company (www.inkkas.com) and successfully scaled the company from zero into a multi-million dollar brand and then sold the company in 2016 to celebrity investor Marcus Lemonis. The process of launching and scaling a new Ecommerce brand from scratch was riddled with many challenges along the way. Some of the major challenges included branding, go-to-market strategy, fulfillment, sourcing, web design & development, customer acquisition, paid advertising, conversion rate optimization and more. Along with my founding team, we were able to overcome every obstacle and devise a customer acquisition strategy the led to success.

The client wanted to reinvent their look and feel on their social media and online assets so that they could increase their brand awareness and secure more home decor, design, and build jobs.

They were receiving little to no traction on social media and had a very low click-through rate on their email marketing campaigns. They also did not have a list-building strategy in place, so they were constantly reaching out to a market that had already used their services.

NCI did not have an SEO strategy or staff, but it also had 150 subdomains run by different departments and on different CMS systems. Additionally, Google had recently rolled out its symptom panels. As a result, even its expert written content was not ranking for its ideal terms, and its cancer clinical trials section of its site was not ranking for the vast majority of cancer clinical trial keywords.

When Pew Pew Tactical first came to us in December 2017, they had done 600,000 organic visitors the month previous, worth an estimated $160,000. They knew this was their most important acquisition channel, but wanted to pour some gas on the fire.
