Please read the Process overview first.
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.
Olivela is a philanthropic clothing retailer who believes giving back should be built
into every single transaction. Customers shop their favorite designer, fashion and
beauty brands while Olivela donates 20% of the proceeds to their partnering
charities.
Olivela partnered with various celebrities during the 2019 holiday season for their
$1 Million Pledge. This extensive and exclusive list included well-known celebrities
like Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston and Dakota Fanning.
When users clicked on a paid social ad or visited Olivela’s website, they’d have
the opportunity to subscribe to emails. When users provided their email address,
Olivela donated $5 to the partner celebrity’s charity. Olivela would continue this
for up to $1M in donations.
The objectives of the $1 Million Pledge were as follows:
1. Raise donations for several incredible organizations including: The WE
Organization, St. Jude, and CARE.
2. Increase awareness of Olivela’s brand, drive sales and new subscribers.
I diversified Olivela’s acquisition campaigns by launching a Conversions
Objective and Catalog Sales Objective (DABA) to acquire and attract new customers on Facebook and Instagram.
Through my evergreen static and dynamic remarketing campaigns, users who were top of funnel would be captured at the bottom. Evergreen shopping ads were displayed
to initial email subscribers that had Olivela donate $5. Visitors to Olivela’s landing
page via a partnering celebrity were re-served ads from the same landing page.
By implementing this full-funnel, tailored approach, Olivela’s $1 Million Pledge was
a success.

At ConvertKit, I focused on building educational content in the form of emails, short-form social media videos, courses, and webinars. The unique challenges I faced revolved around keeping up with the consistently-changing digital economy in order to know the best content to teach and the purpose behind it.
It led to a lot of weekly research, interviews, and constantly making adjustments where necessary to ensure I was catering to our target audience.
When it comes to advertising on social, its very challenging, since products are cheap. This made it difficult to make it profitable with ads when targeting directly to individuals (B2C) instead of business owners (B2B). They are more profitable when they get bulk orders from businesses or organizations. Targeting a cold audience on Facebook/Instagram was challenging to stay profitable at scale.
