-     Increased Instagram’s engagement rating by 40% in one Quarter

The Challenge

Imperial Tea is a premium tea company started almost 30 years ago, and family run. As a family run business, Imperial Tea has acquired a very loyal community of fans and customers. True tea connoisseurs shop at Imperial Tea, in part for the premium quality they offer, but also to continue connecting with the founders that lead tea tasting sessions and education. The entire Imperial Tea experience is unique. While the majority of their sales have been generated by their tea house in San Francisco, they have been trying to expand their online stores sales.


When Imperial Tea reached out to us, they were looking for a team of marketers that truly understand the boutique nature of their business. Unlike mainstream tea companies, Imperial Tea’s social media content had to lead with education in order to continue offering the same quality of service to their existing audience, while growing their community of premium tea lovers.

Bellissimo Custom Hats

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.

Patch plants

Patch is a UK-based ecommerce website that sells indoor and outdoor plants, plants pots and many plant care accessories.


The online plant market was growing quickly and competitors were sprouting up everywhere. We were spending a tidy sum on marketing but our conversion rate could have been better. I spotted an opportunity to target a significant segment of our customers who were new to indoor plants. The challenge was that plant newbies were afraid of killing their plants because they didn't know how to look after them.

Liv HEALTH

This client didn't have any finalized branding when I joined the team. I helped them finalize their brand ID (which they have since changed) and developed email templates based off of the guide for a cohesive member experience. They also had under cared for email flows.
