Trouva has been named a top 5 startup in the UK. They were struggling to hit their aggressive, VC required performance targets. This was complicated by the fact that they had tens of thousands of SKU's in their data feed; targeting so many countries; that the golden SKU's weren't easy to optimize.

The store needed help hitting their $100k per month target while maintaining a profitable ROI.

In a often mis-understood market and a subject that is regarded as taboo. My role was to challenge and inspire more creative and innovative thinking, leading to better results from paid-for media channels.

The client wanted to work with top portrait photographers for their new phone campaign. This was to position themselves as the top camera phone in the industry. They had very particular requirements on the chosen photographer so finding the right person was the first challenge. The second was managing the high profile talent and the client to achieve an outcome with the content that both parties were happy with. The timeline was extremely tight, particularly for such a high profile photographer with a busy schedule. Their target was to get high PR attention.

The budget included 3 other smaller but well known photographers who also created content around the same theme. We also had a gifting portion of the campaign where I sent the phones to small semi-professional photographers to create their own portraits. This was all to create buzz in the photography industry. This all had to be done beginning to end in about a month which is very tight.
