I worked with Circle specifically on affiliate partnership projects, email marketing campaigns, and online event management. As worthwhile as the experience was to assist Circle with these tasks, I still (like many) faced a few challenges.

This caused a level of organization and attention to detail needed to sustain the work to make multiple online events successfully happen simultaneously.

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.

The algorithm was consistently being reset almost on a daily basis due to unforeseen circumstances on Olivela's side.
