Tax Team is a tax preparation and financial services company. Coming off of the Pandemic Tax Team's clients switched to digital tax platforms such as Turbo Tax, H&R Block, etc. This resulted in significant revenue and clientele loss. As tax season approached I was responsible for creating a winning strategy in less than a month.
At the time my role was Vice President of Marketing and I was directly responsible for auditing and creating marketing strategies for my team and me.

- Advised Tax Team to have the staff upsell services such as financial planning, and credit repair to reduce the loss of customers to Turbo Tax.

Plan
- Identify segments for self-employed, and W-2 clients
