HealthyUp's founder had spent a couple of years testing consumer response to the product she had developed for menopause relief by selling primarily on Amazon. Having gathered positive feedback from a few dozen customers, she wanted to launch her own e-commerce business but was a sole proprietor with limited direct-to-consumer experience. She called on me to help her put all the foundational elements in place to position the company for growth.

Beyond the overarching objectives, our main focus was with undergraduate and postgraduate student recruitment through ongoing campaigns, as well as advertising university courses, open days, postgraduate open evenings and Clearing.

Specific examples of objectives set by Leeds Beckett also included:

1) Supporting the university’s growth plans through targeted and effective campaigns

2) Growing the number of applications

3) Improving efficiencies and reducing costs in all paid channels

Bellissimo is one of our flagship clients as we like mutually like to say : we scaled together.

Their online store capped sales as their only traffic source was Facebook advertising for a sustainably long time. When we started working with Bellissimo in 2020, our team set up their email marketing infrastructure. Over the last 2 years we have expanded our ecosystem to include: Influencer Marketing (now collaborating with celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Floyd Mayweather and Jamie Foxx), text marketing, social media marketing, and a website revamp complete with hat customization tool.

Bellissimo now sees sustainable increase month over month. This year Bellissimo is seeing 160% more revenue than last year. 

Key achievements: 

• Influencer marketing strategy and partnerships facilitated in the fashion, sports and entertainment industry: Steve Aoki, Floyd Mayweather, Snoop Dogg Jamie Foxx, Mr. Mature

• 0 to 150k organic monthly impressions on Pinterest within 6 months

• 26k engaged Instagram followers

• created a targeted fan group and grew it to 1k members in one month, now at 3k members; the results have been overwhelming: group members share great content (ie. wearing the brand's products), this "feeding us content" which in return is bringing continuous growth; we also started to monetize the group and gain direct Shopify sales from group members

• Created an automated way to receive customer tags, photos and videos. Now, about 50% of our content is generated by other users which means we get extra reach and impressions without added effort.
