The Canadian tax industry is very competitive. TurboTax and H&R Block are the giants in the space. SimpleTax came along with any innovatively easy product and fun product that challenged the status quo. The brought fun to a stale space. My job was to efficiently bring in new customers to simpletax.ca through primarily paid search, and assisted with paid social activities. It was very important the message was 'on brand' which had a more 'fun' approach than the competitors. We also had tight CPA requirements as the payment model was a 'pay what you want' or donation model.

The challenge for this brand was to elevate their look and feel and mimic this branding on their website and social media pages. A new website was needed and so SEO was to be started from scratch, as the website would need to be refreshed in terms of content and keywords, making the site more searchable.

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.

Maintain and build brand awareness and trust in the company.
