Michelle has since grown the bilingual French English Naked French Instagram channel from 0 → 87,000 followers in 18 months with $0 in paid marketing. Many of her reels have also gone viral with millions of views.

Michelle also created and produced The Naked French Podcast which debuted in the Top #10 Apple Podcast Charts in 12 different countries under the Language Learning category.

The Challenge

Michelle wanted to build a Podcast and Instagram community around learning the French language as an adult, as she was living in Paris and found it difficult to access easy resources which would help her acquire fluency faster. She particularly wanted to focus on high quality audio resources.

She wanted to spend $0 in paid marketing, and build the community organically.

The Process

Michelle developed a 'micro-dosing method', where you can learn audio via micro-doses (most people don't have hours free in their day to just learn languages!).


When it comes to growing a social media audience and building a community, Michelle believes in focusing on creating valuable content that always provides educational value to the user first.

From there, she leverages a data-driven creative approach and iterates on the content which performs best with the audience.


She's extremely serious about a data-driven approach - she takes a close look at the times posted, shares, likes, engagement, DM's, types of reactions... And it makes a difference - she's found that if a post goes out on Instagram that's +/-2 hours outside of the optimal time, engagement is 20% less!

The Solution

Onto

Onto is establishing a new category in the 'electric car buying' space that is 'car subscriptions'. Rather than owning a car (and all associated costs), Onto offers a monthly flexible contract where all costs are included (including your charging). The challenge is that this breaks the normal assumptions of a driver and is a new way of having a car.


Our acquisition channels and ads need to explain this complex proposition into simple and easy to understand message as well as overcome the initial 'sticker shock'. Since we're all-inclusive, the monthly price is naturally higher than what consumers normally see on leasing deals.


As Head of Growth, I'm at the forefront of driving the acquisition strategy.

TaxJar

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.
