The Challenge

Udacity wants to expand their consumer business which means they need to figure out what channels work and if any are scalable. The right channel should have a reasonable CPA and be able to scale from 4 figures to 6 figures a month.

The Process

My role is to lead the end-to-end strategy and execution for paid acquisition with the goal of improving CPA and scaling ad spend profitably.

BodyFX

I started working with BodyFX (home workout programs) as they were heading into a historically slower period for the brand (Q4). They had never run "holiday" sales or messaging, instead opting to reduce spend Oct-(mid)Dec before their big Q1 push. I pitched the client on a pre-holiday strategy (promotion & messaging) for us to start testing in early November, which he approved. The campaigns were a success (within target CPA range) and we were not only able to scale the initial tests, but iterate on the messaging throughout Nov & Dec to scale consistently over the holiday period, resulting in a 129% increase in spend YoY.

Pure Greens

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.
