ACCO Brands was looking to increase revenue through their email channel. The challenge was to create new revenue using the existing revenue channel and existing clients in which a new system/process can be developed and deployed across all 5 of ACCO's child brands.

Given too much variance in ability of product marketing teams throughout the company, Wiley wanted to build and in-house agency of marketing specialists, who would partner with product marketers on all high revenue earning products (ranging from $250K annual to $50M+) to ensure successful outcomes.

I was brought in to build and lead this global team, and my challenge was to build out the proper processes, communication, measurement, and reporting, as well as get buy-in from global product teams who were not all thrilled with having some of their autonomy taken away.

Website redevelopment, branding, and initial ads to generate traffic and measure results

The major issue this client had was finding someone reliable to strategize and implement email marketing campaigns to their existing list. They have tried several agencies and freelancers, but the quality of work and results were not there.

• No Campaign Strategy: There was no developed campaign strategy.
• Poorly Designed Emails: Previous campaigns were poorly designed.
• Excluding Certain Products: Certain products had to be excluded from all promotions.
