Plated became a leader in their category and was eventually acquired by Albertsons for 9 figures.
Plated was a new startup and needed to grow rapidly. The challenge was to find new ways to grow outside of the traditional channels. At the time Facebook was not known as a growth channel but we were not only able to make it work but we were one of the first major success stories for Facebook ads.
I lead all of the efforts on Facebook ads, which is where the majority of our acquisition took place. We started with social engagement campaigns but quickly transitioned to conversion campaigns. We experimented endlessly and figured out multiple methods to drive conversions through Facebook. Later we expanded and also helped write the book on acquisition through native channels like Taboola and Outbrain.

The alcoholic and distillery industry is competitive now more than ever, and especially was at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Consumers are shopping the organic category more often and we are seeing continued trends of consumers looking for healthy, organic options for their family + friends. The organic space experienced significant growth in 2020 and 2021. The challenge for Prairie Organic Vodka was discovering a successful way to reach the right consumers at the right moment in time, and to educate them that Prairie Vodka is truly in the "organic" category.
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.
