The Challenge

Expedia had acquired a collection of brands in the vacation retal industry to compete against AirBnb, including VRBO, HomeAway, Homelidays, TopRural, among others.


Traditionally these brands had operated independently in different markets.


Expedia wanted to bring consistency, efficiency and scale to all their online media efforts


I joined the global marketing strategy team supporting them develop the infraestructura, processes and scale up their marketing efforts globally from this centralised team.

The Process

Led the global marketing acquisition strategy, roadmap campaign and testing plan across EMEA, Americas and APAC. Built the system, frameworks, best practices and scaling up of activities.

Partnering with product to develop the technology for advanced audience targeting, smart bidding, programmatic/ messaging and personalisation enablement.

CPO

Bloomist

I was brought on to help grow the brand using digital advertising and was given a $5,000 media budget to work with. I was able to help scale them up to over $25,000 spend within the same year across a variety of media channels while meeting ROAS standards set by the owner.

Rue La La

One challenging project was working on Rue La La’s exclusive “Madison Avenue” boutiques where vintage Chanel and other very high-end clothing and accessories were sold on our website. Some items were sold for upwards of $10K and they were final sale, unable to be returned. So, writing product descriptions that were accurate and extremely descriptive was imperative. I strengthened my attention-to-detail skill set in this role.
