MealEnders Cravings Control lozenges (initially called MealEnders Signaling Lozenges) were launched in October 2014. With the exception of one PR hit that drove significant sales, their marketing efforts (primarily a dietitians convention, google ads, facebook ads, paid blog placements, and PR) were not resulting in cost-effective acquisition.
After fully taking over marketing for MealEnders in May 2015, I increased sales almost 5x in the second half of the year versus the first half, then 160% from year 1 to year 2, and 190% from year 2 to year 3. Growth was driven primarily by: 1) Personally scaling Facebook advertising from $5000 to 6-figures/month while reducing cost per acquisition (while fine-tuning the brand messaging), 2) launching/growing sales on Amazon, and 3) Launching an Email marketing program (and opt-in strategy) that increased repurchase rate by almost 80% and more than doubled the percentage of sales driven by email in 3 years even with tremendous topline growth. I also helped to secure and then leveraged an appearance on Shark Tank leading to over $500K in sales within 2 weeks following the airing, and several hundred thousand more in the following months.

I helped this brand launch their eCommerce store and set up Klaviyo for them. They are a natural supplement brand and have preworkout and protein power with the right amount of stimulants. The customer profile is someone who is health-conscious and doesn't want anything extra in their body. The biggest challenge we faced was that this was a new brand. Our goal is to get people use to Klaviyo emails and be open to them as this is a consumable product.
It was an eight-week engagement to conduct an SEO audit for a section of the client's site. I managed an offshore resource supporting the engagement and used an in-house design specialist to product the final report deliverable for the client. I conducted a range of interviews with the major members of the marketing team to understand internal processes, workflows, marketing persona development and marketing research.
This client came to me after going through 2 agencies with unsuccessful results. The owner had issues discovering how to drive more results from their paid advertising efforts. They were getting a lot of people adding to cart and initiating checkouts, but not actually purchasing.
Their main objectives are to drive a more successful return on ad spend on the front end, but also needing to increase customer retention from the sales that came in so they were more profitable on the backend as well.
We implemented a new campaign structure to generate better results as well as helping to work on retaining and cross-selling campaigns that would drive a better LTV for the brand as well as new creative and audience testing as well.
Corvex came to us with a goal of launching a new mobile product in their mobile application. Corvex sells a software application that frontline workers can use on their iPads or Android/Mobile devices when at the workplace, in either a food processing plant or assembly line type factory. The goal of the application is to safely track frontline workers at the workplace and give them the Corvex Connected solution that helps each employee and their teams stay safe, agile and flexible with real-time data and checklists. This was launching right at the height of COVID-19 and became very intriguing to many businesses looking for quick solutions to keep their workers employed, but at a safe "6-feet apart" distance.
