My achievements and involvement:
For three years I was working for the industry leader Ingager Online Marketing (https://ingager.com/en/) in Stockholm Sweden.
One of the highlights of my career and a highlight while working for Ingager was when I utilised Ingagers own propriety tech tools and other tech tools such as Facebook, Google Ads, Tradedoubler, Commission Junction & Bing/Microsoft ads to drive more purchases towards one of our clients named Bangerhead.
At first, I was thrown into the deep end with this account. This account was already established but they wanted to get more sales for a lower Cost per Acquisition. Initially what I did was to revamp the strategy of the account.
We needed to:
· Increase the number of sales from product specific searches (also known as long-tail).
· Improve the ad texts
· More frequent changes when it came to the bid adjustments.
What I did initially was to increase all of the bids, this allowed the platforms and algorithms to thoroughly test all the keywords and fast-track the learning period. Once Click-Through Rates (CTR’s) were high I adjusted the spending to maintain the positions. Meanwhile, the ads that had not converted well were removed and this ultimately improved the overall account performance as the more relevant ads you have the better Google algorithm favours the performance.
On top of this, I decided to increase the frequency of how often I would adjust the keyword bids, instead of doing it in an unplanned & infrequent manner I decided to do it weekly.
This graph shows that since I started to work on the account the results went from an average Cost Per Order of SEK (Swedish Krona) 114 down to SEK 45 – that's an 86% reduction in cost per order.
It also shows that at the same time, the number of average orders per week increased from 225 to 496 – that's a 75% increase in the number of orders.

We started work with Timber Joinery Perth, a local Perth-based business bespoke timber furniture, doors, windows and joinery, soon after they had launched in the market.
As a fresh new brand in the market, they started with no sales pipeline and needed a way to find new customers at scale, and quick.
Being a writer, I love exploring a lot of industries and one such industry is politics. In I-PAC (Indian Political Action Committee), we do digital and offline campaigns wherein I belonged to the Digital sector. I-PAC works out strategies and campaigns plans for DMK which is one of the most influential parties in India. It almost resembles the 'media' industry, in which, the work should be instantly submitted and should get ready to received work at any instance. Sometimes, working on Sundays was quite difficult but once I learnt the strategy, it became one of my favourite roles. I was given the role of managing the campaign - Vidiyalai Nokki Stalinin Kural (The voice of Stalin) and the campaign took place for 75 days. Stalin, the president of DMK, is the one who represents the DMK party and leads it. The leaders of DMK were campaigning for their party, and I made sure to cover them all digitally.
