Atlassian, a B2B workplace collaboration software company, was heading towards a cloud-first future where it needed to move its marketing processes from being focused on high-touch single product journeys to now self-serve (user onboards on their own), low-touch (light chat support based on bronze/silver status) and high-touch (gold status, enterprise customers) across many products and apps.

The technology, marketing and sales teams were misaligned, and looked for a partner who could speak marketing + sales + technology, which was the role I played. My responsibility was in leading product managers and program managers to enable strategies in lifecycle marketing (prospects growth, lead acquisition, nurture programming, conversion and retention) and move freemium users through the upgrade path, with the goal of activating low-CAC flywheel marketing.

Start-up bridal industry trying to break-into a stuffy, non-dynamic industry owned by a couple of heavy hitters

• client was a small fish in a big pond not getting attention or focus from their agency, but paying the premium to hire them
• campaigns were not being executed properly, and not a lot of optimization was happening on a weekly basis
• campaigns were structed in ways that kept creative and campaigns in learning phase for too long, which didn't help performance
• not leveraging retargeting enough---low hanging fruit left to rot on vine

Renown was having great success with direct mailers since the 90's, but hadn't developed their online presence and paid media strategy. We had no data going in on which products to focus on, which channels to choose, or how to position ourselves in the market.

This brand had horrible open and click rates. I was able to raise those metrics by executing best practices and sharing non-sales-based information that led to sales and good email engagement in just 2 months.
