Please read the Process overview first.

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. Not only did I struggle with targeting challenges, but creative issues as well. The celebrities and charity's representation were later seeing the creative live on their feeds and telling Olivela they were not approved, so I had to pause ads and/or launch new ones. The algorithm was consistently being reset almost on a daily basis due to unforeseen circumstances on Olivela's side.

They wanted to make their brand look better online & get more results

In 2020 I took on paid media, when I took over we were running traffic campaigns, we had not installed tracking on our menu site and couldn't run conversion campaigns. I first worked to set up proper tracking and pass that data to our facebook account. Next I built out a strategy and ran it past our CEO. In the next 3 months I took our roas from .5x to an average of 6x.

I have worked for Pei Wei since 2018 as a lead creative. Working on every creative touch point for the brand. Including email, website, billboards, campaigns, packaging, menus, in-store signage etc.. Being the sole creative for a mid sized company with 150 stores, I've always had to look for ways to increase efficiency and streamline our processes.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

While the brand had a business Facebook account set up, their follower base and engagement rate was very low as they were not actively posting on this channel. Within the first couple of months Facebook following more than doubled.

With the follower growth campaign along with paid social media campaigns Lid’l Dolly's Factory Store following grew 460% over 2 years.

Prior to the social media marketing strategy, an online store had not run any Facebook ads. We were able to test and find their target audiences and scaled their ad spend from 1k/ month to 20k/ month and still retain the same ROAS.
