increase reservation and optimized marketing funnels and sales processes to increase bookings

A very vague search behavior by the persona makes it harder to get super targeted with the keywords we use, so we had to get creative with how we qualified the lead on every step of the funnel. There are also tight margins with the trucks that we buy and sell.

Shark Clean AU is the sister brand to Ninja Kitchen and they both faced similar challenges.

The brand was struggling to improve the ROAS of their online store above 300%, after getting a taste of 800 - 900% during the pandemic, when people being stuck at home all day every day was beneficial to a brand like theirs. The brand was already familiar to consumers who were used to seeing it at stores like Harvey Norman and Kmart, but now could no longer shop at those stores. Another challenge was not being able to offer discounts on their products deeper than the stockist retailer were offering.

The target ROAS was 500 - 600%. The channels they were using were Facebook/Instagram Ads and Google Ads. Facebook was an area of concern as they did not see consistent returns there, although the channel did very well during lockdowns.

In 2020 I took on paid media, when I took over we were running traffic campaigns, we had not installed tracking on our menu site and couldn't run conversion campaigns. I first worked to set up proper tracking and pass that data to our facebook account. Next I built out a strategy and ran it past our CEO. In the next 3 months I took our roas from .5x to an average of 6x.

I have worked for Pei Wei since 2018 as a lead creative. Working on every creative touch point for the brand. Including email, website, billboards, campaigns, packaging, menus, in-store signage etc.. Being the sole creative for a mid sized company with 150 stores, I've always had to look for ways to increase efficiency and streamline our processes.
