As an educational partner with the Toronto District School Board, our challenge was to encourage parents, teachers and principals to bring us into their school to provide extracurricular programming.

Onto is establishing a new category in the 'electric car buying' space that is 'car subscriptions'. Rather than owning a car (and all associated costs), Onto offers a monthly flexible contract where all costs are included (including your charging). The challenge is that this breaks the normal assumptions of a driver and is a new way of having a car.

Our acquisition channels and ads need to explain this complex proposition into simple and easy to understand message as well as overcome the initial 'sticker shock'. Since we're all-inclusive, the monthly price is naturally higher than what consumers normally see on leasing deals.

As Head of Growth, I'm at the forefront of driving the acquisition strategy.

The client wanted to reinvent their look and feel on their social media and online assets so that they could increase their brand awareness and secure more home decor, design, and build jobs.

They were receiving little to no traction on social media and had a very low click-through rate on their email marketing campaigns. They also did not have a list-building strategy in place, so they were constantly reaching out to a market that had already used their services.

The client organizes fun tournaments for college students around the US.

Their eCommerce store showcases various apparel products they sell to raise funds and support their operation. They asked us to build their automated email marketing flows from scratch and had ZERO revenue from email.

Challenges

1. Starting From Scratch: No reference to what exactly the client wanted.
2. No Clarity: The client has still not refined their messaging.
3. Fun & Entertaining: Copy has to be fun and entertaining to match the brand.
