The client wanted to work with top portrait photographers for their new phone campaign. This was to position themselves as the top camera phone in the industry. They had very particular requirements on the chosen photographer so finding the right person was the first challenge. The second was managing the high profile talent and the client to achieve an outcome with the content that both parties were happy with. The timeline was extremely tight, particularly for such a high profile photographer with a busy schedule. Their target was to get high PR attention.

The budget included 3 other smaller but well known photographers who also created content around the same theme. We also had a gifting portion of the campaign where I sent the phones to small semi-professional photographers to create their own portraits. This was all to create buzz in the photography industry. This all had to be done beginning to end in about a month which is very tight.

Village Juicery was known in the Toronto area, but they were struggling to grow and cultivate a community online that would increase sales as well as notify new users about promotions and store openings. They needed someone to own their social media and email marketing, community management and ads, so that they could continue to show up online in their brand tone and voice, and reach their goal of growing 10% year over year each month.

The Canadian tax industry is very competitive. TurboTax and H&R Block are the giants in the space. SimpleTax came along with any innovatively easy product and fun product that challenged the status quo. The brought fun to a stale space. My job was to efficiently bring in new customers to simpletax.ca through primarily paid search, and assisted with paid social activities. It was very important the message was 'on brand' which had a more 'fun' approach than the competitors. We also had tight CPA requirements as the payment model was a 'pay what you want' or donation model.

My consulting work with the Human Of Color focused exclusively on social media management. The unique challenges I faced when working with this client had to do with content and engagement alignment between what the client desired vs. what I knew would work best given my knowledge of the social media algorithm.

Because of this challenge, I learned how to lean more into developing brand new strategies that served both the existing social media algorithm and what the client preferred in order to achieve  client satisfaction and social media growth simultaneously.
