Lilyana Naturals is a massive brand on Amazon.

After being acquired by an investment firm, they needed to bring on talented paid media freelancers to maximize revenue for their new DTC Website.

I was brought on to increase the proportion of revenue to the overall business coming from their Shopify store, instead of Amazon.

As a Digital Media Analyst + Buyer on Target.com team, one of my main priorities and challenges was securing enough digital inventory each month to hit vendor expectations and increase brand awareness, lead generation/acquisition and product sales, while transitioning internal CRM platforms to Salesforce.

• Defining the global media strategy and playbook based on business goals for Existing and New customers through direct and indirect channels using ATL-BTL media. Supervising the execution of media campaigns to drive growth for the business through media, launching new products and services across 16 different markets integrated with CRM and Sales. 
• Defining customer segmentation and audience-data strategy; identifying personas, and segments, user journey and selection of media-data-channels to target.
• Driving growth and improving conversion rate by planning testing roadmaps through paid and owned channels and data sources: Paid social / Facebook and Linkedin, Programmatic display, ABM, Paid search, email marketing automation (Pardot) and landing pages.
• Reporting and success measurement: Standardizing ways to measure success through the whole funnel, identifying metrics and set of media and performance reports.
• Driving digital transformation by developing media training, generating content and presenting it live and via mobile app formats, focused in 2 main areas: Media planning (process-focused) and media strategy (strategy-focused) delivered to 22 local markets.

Given too much variance in ability of product marketing teams throughout the company, Wiley wanted to build and in-house agency of marketing specialists, who would partner with product marketers on all high revenue earning products (ranging from $250K annual to $50M+) to ensure successful outcomes.

I was brought in to build and lead this global team, and my challenge was to build out the proper processes, communication, measurement, and reporting, as well as get buy-in from global product teams who were not all thrilled with having some of their autonomy taken away.
