[Data Analytics] Benchmark Influencer Campaigns
Develop a reputable methodology for measuring social campaign ROI
Challenge: Without ANY data reporting solutions we needed a way to predict and iterate on our influencer & social campaigns to make strategic decisions for client ROI
In 2024, it’s hard to believe we had run campaigns without this information, but it was the first of its kind for the company & our clients in an emergent space
Strategy: Collect a large sample of engagement on social posts across social platforms. Once collected, in collaboration with our analytics team, we standardized reporting metrics. With this standardization, we built an internal reporting process for transparency in the identification and recruitment campaign stages. Now we could provide predictive campaign forecasts based on audience, verticals, and demographics
Result: With benchmarks established, our reporting was more transparent and in real-time. Iterations included Tableau for visualizations and more advanced query options for the internal team

[Email Marketing] Reduce Member Churn
Incentivize members to return to the platform with product samples
Challenge: Churn was exponentially increasing and member engagement was slipping. We needed to reduce churn and improve the quality of member satisfaction in client sampling programs
Strategy: Standardized the transparency of sampling requirements across internal teams. With criteria identified, teammates recruited segmented members to avoid fatigue. Led the UX team to revamp our email strategy including copy, CTAs, and imagery, and targeted based on multi-faceted segmentations. Track email opens, returns to the site, and campaign sign-ups for iterative sprints & optimizations
Result: Reduced member churn by 30% month-over-month and decreased member fatigue by segmenting similar product lines to different audiences (i.e. competing shampoo products)
