Simply Local is building a marketplace for farmers and ranchers to sell direct to consumers. They were looking to scale both their customer base and farmer base as they refine their offerings. They had a very aggressive cost per lead goal, along with limited geographical targeting (Austin, Texas area)

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.

At ConvertKit, I focused on building educational content in the form of emails, short-form social media videos, courses, and webinars. The unique challenges I faced revolved around keeping up with the consistently-changing digital economy in order to know the best content to teach and the purpose behind it.

It led to a lot of weekly research, interviews, and constantly making adjustments where necessary to ensure I was catering to our target audience.

I started this account from day 1 before the restaurant opened it's doors in 2016. We built up momentum and were maxed out of tables from day 1. It's been a wild ride with expanding into a new space, adding in a pizza oven for authentic Napolateon pizza, adding in catering options, and now onto opening second location just for private events and catering!
