Wealthsimple is a leading FinTech company in Canada offering customers the ability to invest in various financial instruments such as stocks and crypto coins. I was brought on to manage their paid search while they were aggressively growing in customers acquisition. My goal was to deliver new clients to Wealthsimple at the agreed upon Target cost, while growing spend month over month in line with their overall company growth.

This brand was doing a lot of client acquisition through FB ads but didn’t have anything set up for the customer experience in the backend. They were leaving a lot of money on the table paying for customer acquisition but weren’t nurturing their leads and customers.

In 2012 I founded the Inkkas company (www.inkkas.com) and successfully scaled the company from zero into a multi-million dollar brand and then sold the company in 2016 to celebrity investor Marcus Lemonis. The process of launching and scaling a new Ecommerce brand from scratch was riddled with many challenges along the way. Some of the major challenges included branding, go-to-market strategy, fulfillment, sourcing, web design & development, customer acquisition, paid advertising, conversion rate optimization and more. Along with my founding team, we were able to overcome every obstacle and devise a customer acquisition strategy the led to success.

I was the head of marketing for Tailor Brands, and I joined the startup day 0. Tailor is an automated logo design tool - you come to Tailor, enter some information about your brand, and we would design a logo instantly. The market didn't exist, so I had to carve out our niche.
