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.

They were getting leads but only from word of mouth

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.

PetO were a traditional retail brand, the third largest chain of pet supplies in Australia. They decided to launch their eCommerce store in 2019, but did not see it as a key pillar of their brand until the pandemic, which customers online, as they were unable to visit the brick-and-mortar stores.

The ROAS was great at that time, during the lockdowns, however as customers returned to stores the ROAS began to quickly decline and the customer was concerned about the profitability of the site and their marketing activity. The ROAS had dropped a peak of~800% during lockdown to only ~250% a few months later.
