Calian is a large B2B/B2G professional services company, publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. When I started with Calian in early 2019, they had a Drupal 7 website that had been somewhat neglected and had technical issues, and the design and content were overall unimpressive, and not representative of a strong brand with an umbrella of highly specialized solutions. They were also lacking a social media strategy, appropriate analytics tracking, marketing automation and a modern CRM solution.

Deel is a San Francisco-based financial tech startup. They received both Series A and Series B funding in 2020 and were looking for a paid acquisition marketer to help them reach their lofty growth goals.

Deel was looking for someone to rapidly implement and scale a five-figure monthly media budget across 5 different ad platforms. The goals were to acquire new leads to book demo calls with the sales teams, and also drive paid software signups through the website.

Deel is operating in a totally new and innovative financial space. They needed someone who could dive deep into paid acquisition analytics, but also consult on the best creative angles to speak to potential Deel prospects.

Although the team had a good client list and a great track record of success, they were struggling to manage paid media accounts effectively. They needed some additional expertise to support this service offering and initially looked for someone who could deliver internal training to support staff development and upskill the team. 

Creating a unifying feel to the feed, and bringing creative and interactive content to the community. We needed to bring a modern twist to the account and the brand to make sure it resonates with the target demographic. Our challenge was account growth and brand awareness which we've tended to thanks to a new and improve social media management strategy, promotional content and ads, and interactive content.
