The Challenge

Patch is a British indoor and outdoor plant ecommerce website that also sells seasonal Christmas trees.


Every year Patch sells a range of Christmas trees to consumers. The challenge is that Christmas trees are very seasonal in nature peaking in demand over one week around the end of November. Marketing campaigns need to be carefully timed in order to drive enough demand using Facebook Ads and Google Ads during the seasonal period to clear stock. But you need to make sure that you don't overspend and drive too high a Cost Per Purchase.

The Process

Using previous years' data and external data points I mapped week by week projected demand and combined it with stock arrivals (since Christmas trees are a fresh and perishable product) as well as operational delivery capacity.


I planned out each marketing channel and its spend on a daily basis and mapped it out against daily purchase targets. Having this careful plan allowed me to monitor our progress on a daily basis and helped massively on occasions when we missed targets and needed to act quickly.

The Solution

By successfully coordinating and fine tuning the strategy between all marketing channels I delivered a 1.5x return improvement compared to previous Christmas seasons.

CPL

Windowtech

Client is brand new to the social media advertising space. Did not have a Facebook business manager account previously, and when we created, it said that their account is disabled, even though we did not do anything on the account. In addition, we were in a time-crunch because they have a seasonal offer and want to promote it as much as possible.

Atlassian

Atlassian, a B2B workplace collaboration software company, was heading towards a cloud-first future where it needed to move its marketing processes from being focused on high-touch single product journeys to now self-serve (user onboards on their own), low-touch (light chat support based on bronze/silver status) and high-touch (gold status, enterprise customers) across many products and apps.


The technology, marketing and sales teams were misaligned, and looked for a partner who could speak marketing + sales + technology, which was the role I played. My responsibility was in leading product managers and program managers to enable strategies in lifecycle marketing (prospects growth, lead acquisition, nurture programming, conversion and retention) and move freemium users through the upgrade path, with the goal of activating low-CAC flywheel marketing.
