Longevity is rare in digital marketing. Our team is proud to have managed Weebly’s affiliate program continuously since 2012. At that time the program was underperforming and almost unknown.

After consulting with Weebly regarding their marketing goals, we guided them in network selection and launched a new program for Weebly on the trusted ShareASale network.

Olivela went against the expert opinions of not only myself, but our paid social lead and their Facebook rep. They wanted to set up their ad sets in a very niche way by targeting each celebrity and their charity. For example, one ad set for Jennifer Anniston and one ad set for St. Jude. Not only did I struggle with targeting challenges, but creative issues as well. The celebrities and charity's representation were later seeing the creative live on their feeds and telling Olivela they were not approved, so I had to pause ads and/or launch new ones. The algorithm was consistently being reset almost on a daily basis due to unforeseen circumstances on Olivela's side.
