Over my 7 years at AEO I helped build an engaged community of 15+ million and was an integral part of Live Your Life, an award winning campaign that was developed with a social first mentality. AEO was also ranked in the Top 10 of the L2 Digital IQ Index for Specialty Retail in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
The challenge was differentiating American Eagle Outfitters from its competitors in the teen specialty retail space as well as keeping all social media channels fresh and unique to increase followers, engagement and traffic to the website.
I was responsible for the AEO social media strategy development and execution across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest and our Blog. I also managed influencer relationships and was responsible for all community management.

Existing challenges within the account limited their ability to test new prospecting strategies and limited their growth potential. For example, prior to our involvement, the majority of the budget was dedicated toward branded search campaigns, as many competitors were bidding on their branded terms in hopes to capture away TaxJar's most valuable traffic. Unfortunately, this fierce competition resulted in higher-than-expected costs and required much of the focus, energy, and budget.
Even after successfully freeing up budget from the branded search issues, profitably acquiring new business was no easy feat. Tax services are consumed on an as-needed basis. A brand awareness effort would only be effective if the messaging was powerful and the timing was perfect. That is, even if a business owner hears about TaxJar and thinks they should sign up for the services, it’s typically something that is pushed on the back-burner.
More than ever, if would be crucial to meet their potential customers when they are actively in the market for tax services and in the medium in which they would best respond to our messaging.
