Case Studies

For clients I collaborated with as a creative producer, creative strategist, social media strategist and or video production manager.

OVENTURE


COMPANY CONTEXT

Oventure is home of the Original Big O® Key Ring. This is a direct-to-consumer brand, focused on giving women an extra hand in a fun and fashionable way! Whether you’re into waterproof silicone or luxe leather, this hands-free bracelet key ring is designed to keep your most important essentials within reach and out of the way.

RESULTS

70% YOY Growth

78% more website visitors

9.5% Conversion Rate

3.0 Facebook ROAS

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

I was the creative producer for this client. I was in charge of identifying new and fresh ways to showcase the product that would result in more sales both nationally and internationally. Once I and my team along with the creative strategist, were able to identify the issues and missed opportunities for growth we then put together a plan to expand their audience reach.

Refreshing the account with new creative reduced ad fatigue. We targeting more minorities groups and hit pain points outside of just the “Mom” persona. We choose to test 3 different angles against each other to see if there was a standout or if all 3 would equally perform. The team continually tested variations of all 3 angles. Then, iterated on best-performing ad creative to find the winners ahead of the holidays. Oventure was thrilled to see that these new ad creatives, not only captured a new audience, but dominated holiday sales, since the winning creative formats were identified ahead of time. They continued to see growth across all social media platforms and within just 3 days of running the new ads, international sales increased 3X the amount prior to our collaboration!


WOHVEN


COMPANY CONTEXT

Wohven is a direct-to-consumer clothing brand, focused on given men retail quality tees at a fraction of the price. One of their main USP’s was that every shirt was designed by a new artist each month and would be delivered straight to you at a great price!

RESULTS

15K new customers

7.2% Conversion Rate

4.7 Facebook ROAS

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Wohven lacked the ability to reach and connect with their customer in an impactful way. The lack of social presence caused them to see sales that were stagnant and resulted in little to no engagement with their existing creatives.

I as the creative producer on this project collaborated with the creative strategist and set a goal to grow website traffic and revenue via paid social. Once the goal was understood I worked collaboratively to create various creative angles for the paid ads we wanted to run. For every ad we implemented multiple versions of the same ad and tested things like ad copy, photo vs video, product images with different background colors etc. Our focus with the ads were customer acquisition so testing really was vital for our learnings on how to acquire that new customer.

We created explainer ads to educate and excite the customer on just how easy and simple ordering was, and how affordable the shirts were even though they were specially designed by an artist. Building on messaging, we ran a UGC campaign that highlighted real customer journeys from showing relatable pain points. We made sure to capture the full journey, from ordering, to showcasing the shirt to actively solving various issues like fit issues, style, comfortability or versatility. This way we encourage new visitors to make their first purchase.


NULASTIN


COMPANY CONTEXT

Nulastin is a direct-to-consumer hair, brow and skin brand. NULASTIN® is dedicated to delivering naturally derived anti-aging skincare & haircare solutions to people of all ages through patented Elastaplex®. Nulastin’s goal is help woman to support their body’s natural ability to stimulate the replenishment of elastin from within. Rather that be hair loss and thinning, thin brows and short length lashes.

RESULTS

200K Purchases on Facebook Alone

10.3 % Conversion Rate

3X ROAS on cold traffic (up to 4-6x on retargeting)

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Nulastin was an amazing brand with quality creatives but there was something that wasn’t quite hitting the mark. Through research and braisnsotming we figured out the issue was that people never heard of Elastin or new what it did. They also didn’t understand the science behind why its something important to take care of.

As the creative producer and creative strategist on this project I and my team decided to create new photos and videos that spoke more to the benefits of the product. Another approach was to make the science sound less like a “lecture” and more like your friend was telling you about something new and cool she discovered. By creating visuals and ad copy that made the science easy to understand and digestable, we were able to gain more engagement and interest with new customers overall. We created explainer videos and gifs, capitalized on UGC content and influencer marketing. And really showcase credibility and proof by allowing the existing customers to tell there stories authentically. This gave Nulastin that last peace of the puzzle that had been missing!


GOFINITY


COMPANY CONTEXT

GOFINITY is a direct-to-consumer hair brand, GOFINITY is bespoke luxury hair care that buyers customize based on their unique hair and lifestyle. With over 30 ingredients to blend, each formulation is as unique as the customer.

RESULTS

50% lift in repeat customers

ROAS improved by 3X

2.4x increase in purchases

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Gofinity had good success as is, but wanted consumers to know about other products in their line up. They wanted to let consumers know they aren’t just a shampoo and conditioner company. They also offer hair vitamins and skin, nail and teeth supplements. As well as DHT blockers to help with hair thinning.

As the creative producer and creative strategist, we formulated a plan to showcase the products in a new light, and created ads that focused on common pain points we found in market research. By formatting a clear message and story we were able to directly speak to wider audiences who not just wanted good hair but who also had concerns about their health and wellness. The objective for these adds was to acquire new customers and retain the existing ones. Dynamic Ads and fresh copy with educational visuals helped to solidify GOFINITY as something more.


All33


COMPANY CONTEXT

All33 is a DTC brand who make chairs that allow your pelvis to move the way it does while you walk — so all 33 vertebrae align into perfect posture. The result? Better breathing, better blood flow, and relief from pain.

RESULTS

Hit monthly engagement rates between 2.4% and 3.3%

Increase our organic Facebook reach by 16x without paid "boost".

Grew following to a little over 12K

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

I led social media strategy and creative produced for the revival and relaunch of the All33, and launched first generation of new product and piloted brand messaging.

My focus was on building the All33 brand primarily through our social media content. I also oversaw creative services and managed photographers, videographers, and other creatives we worked with. The goal was for All33 to grow their audience. They didn’t have a social media following at all when we started and they were struggling to have consistent content.

Working on a small marketing team, I also worked cross-functionally with our Head of PR, our Marketing Director, and All33 co-founders on larger marketing initiatives and campaign strategies.

Before I began managing All33’s social media, organic reach was in steady decline. Strategically creating social-first content brought us dramatic increases in a short time.
