Andrea joined Fellow as the Director of DTC eCommerce - a Series B, coffee gear startup in San Francisco. She led the eCommerce B2C business, responsible for the P&L, eCommerce marketing and website product roadmap.

When she joined, the team has experienced some success with the first year of the pandemic, due to people investing in their home coffee brew bar. The challenges she faced were: there was no eCommerce team, no growth strategy, limited resources and budget, few business processes + low cross-team cohesion.

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.

The main challenge with this account was that they have a high ticket offering with a long sales cycle. Their persona also is a very specific type of decision maker within bigger companies who are looking for onsite health services.

Castro was leaving Mccann and joined Adler Chomski - we needed to prove ourselves.
