Aarke had SEO and advertising challenges that required someone experienced to help them gain market share against their competitor, Sodastream.

Aarke sells at a much higher price point than Soda stream and I had to help portray Aarke as a luxury brand compared to the competitors.

On any given day, I am to keep a team of more than 10 people from different countries, cultures and languages on-brand to deliver the message and the image that the company wishes to keep. The biggest challenge is keeping the brand message delivered in a consistent manner while ensuring that each different region feels addressed to directly, in a frank and sincere brand voice.

Shark Clean AU is the sister brand to Ninja Kitchen and they both faced similar challenges.

The brand was struggling to improve the ROAS of their online store above 300%, after getting a taste of 800 - 900% during the pandemic, when people being stuck at home all day every day was beneficial to a brand like theirs. The brand was already familiar to consumers who were used to seeing it at stores like Harvey Norman and Kmart, but now could no longer shop at those stores. Another challenge was not being able to offer discounts on their products deeper than the stockist retailer were offering.

The target ROAS was 500 - 600%. The channels they were using were Facebook/Instagram Ads and Google Ads. Facebook was an area of concern as they did not see consistent returns there, although the channel did very well during lockdowns.
