Barebones Living:
A Path to Revenue
SUMMARY
“You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” – Peter Drucker
Without delivering on vital key performance indicators, how can you be confident in your brand? It’s surprisingly uncommon to find brands measuring metrics that matter. The digital revenue channel easily and immediately affords companies an opportunity to tie emotional connections, brand perception & engagement to quantitative metrics, i.e. traffic, conversion, sales, and profitability.
THE CHALLENGE
Following positive yet limited market validation on brand repositioning, I was asked to develop a digital direct to consumer strategy that would provide empirical evidence to shareholders that the approach is viable, scalable, and profitable.
My Role

Managed strategy and budget for all eCommerce partners including technology, creative, media buying, paid promotions, and brand ambassadors ensuring all partners and services contributed to to meeting business objectives
Led the launch of a new eCommerce platform (Craft) which provided simple, flexible content management, and greater control of promotions and product catalog
Evaluated new platforms/technologies and determined their role in overall digital strategy, implemented automated product reviews and ratings, embedded UGC, digital gift cards, and enhanced sales and discounting features
