Imperial Tea is a premium tea company started almost 30 years ago, and family run. As a family run business, Imperial Tea has acquired a very loyal community of fans and customers. True tea connoisseurs shop at Imperial Tea, in part for the premium quality they offer, but also to continue connecting with the founders that lead tea tasting sessions and education. The entire Imperial Tea experience is unique. While the majority of their sales have been generated by their tea house in San Francisco, they have been trying to expand their online stores sales.

When Imperial Tea reached out to us, they were looking for a team of marketers that truly understand the boutique nature of their business. Unlike mainstream tea companies, Imperial Tea’s social media content had to lead with education in order to continue offering the same quality of service to their existing audience, while growing their community of premium tea lovers.

I work with The del Coursy Collection for 5 wonderful years managing and implementing full-service marketing. This included social media, email marketing, content marketing, web design, media production and PR. When I started working with del Coursy they focused on their brick-and-mortar store and had zero online footprint. I built their online presence from the ground up.

At ConvertKit, I focused on building educational content in the form of emails, short-form social media videos, courses, and webinars. The unique challenges I faced revolved around keeping up with the consistently-changing digital economy in order to know the best content to teach and the purpose behind it.

It led to a lot of weekly research, interviews, and constantly making adjustments where necessary to ensure I was catering to our target audience.

They were always scared of launching with paid ads, as their previous experiences were that they just reached their existing customers; who would have purchased anyways.
