Every brand wants to go viral on social media for the right reasons. We believe that’s not always up to luck. Rather it’s often up to proper audience alignment between the brand, the publisher content, and the audience.

In Q4 of 2020 we put together a series of placements with Barstool Sports on behalf of C4 Energy. The rate card for those particular placements promised slightly more than 750k views.

By working on nailing the audience alignment the campaign went immediately viral soaring past 9.5 Million views. A huge win coming into the competitive Black Friday weekend.

Olivela went against the expert opinions of not only myself, but our paid social lead and their Facebook rep. They wanted to set up their ad sets in a very niche way by targeting each celebrity and their charity. For example, one ad set for Jennifer Anniston and one ad set for St. Jude. Not only did I struggle with targeting challenges, but creative issues as well. The celebrities and charity's representation were later seeing the creative live on their feeds and telling Olivela they were not approved, so I had to pause ads and/or launch new ones. The algorithm was consistently being reset almost on a daily basis due to unforeseen circumstances on Olivela's side.

B2B client sells products to the restaurant industry at their warehouse and online website. They wanted to increase their sales online, generate more leads and track sales accurately.

For this project I had to help to work with the content marketing team to come up with an offer to advertise on social and acquire an email list.

They created a free guide related to the product we were selling and I helped with creating a advertising strategy, creating the landing page, and integrating it with our email marketing software.

The challenge was that we never promoted an offer and we had zero data or emails to leverage.
