Give a Home Foundation is a project very close to my heart. With the homelessness issue rapidly increasing in South Africa during the COVID pandemic, myself and my co-founders of the foundation wanted to make a difference. I developed a marketing strategy to help the foundation raise funds for this important cause. "Stay at home the world has been saying... but where do you go when you do not have a home."

Edufunder is an online fund sourcing site for students to fund their educations.

Goodfair is an online recycled clothing retailer focused on reversing the negative effects of consumerism. Unlike ThredUp or a normal thrift store, customers purchase "product categories or bundles" and are sent an eclectic mix of items adding a mystery element to the experience.

Challenges:

• Often sold out of in-demand product categories, making it hard to scale top-performing ads
• Didn't have a consistent stream of new content
• Always had an abundance of low-converting product categories that they wanted to push

Strategies:

• Immediately created evergreen ad content that converted well and was scalable since it wasn't tied to a specific product
• Worked with the client on an influencer outreach plan to build up their asset library—used this content to create eye-catching videos that focused on the styling of the products, while also highlighting Goodfair's mission
• Pitched the client on product-specific influencer outreach initiatives to get more creative (and hopefully higher converting) content featuring the products that were a tougher sell

Fresh start, no major website sales, all sales through booth selling at festivals. Only organic posting on social media platforms.

Overall lack of knowledge and new to marketing/advertising, because of this, it was an overall teaching and education experience as well.
