I started working with BodyFX (home workout programs) as they were heading into a historically slower period for the brand (Q4). They had never run "holiday" sales or messaging, instead opting to reduce spend Oct-(mid)Dec before their big Q1 push. I pitched the client on a pre-holiday strategy (promotion & messaging) for us to start testing in early November, which he approved. The campaigns were a success (within target CPA range) and we were not only able to scale the initial tests, but iterate on the messaging throughout Nov & Dec to scale consistently over the holiday period, resulting in a 129% increase in spend YoY.

The client was a team of highly skilled developers focussed on building innovative Shopify apps. The company was first named Pix Applications. Although the client had support from a niche group of Shopify stores, they were having trouble scaling to the next level of business. This challenge is common for niche providers: how do you move from "1,000 true fans" to a market leader?

Pam Vinje and Mike Isbell initially contacted me through UpWork to assist with some issues surrounding click fraud they were seeing on their accounts and needed advice on how to best handle it. I was able to work through the complex problems by researching what was happening and ultimately solving them with a 3rd party solution. As a result of how well it went, they asked me to review and help manage accounts for their business.
