Calian

Calian is a large B2B/B2G professional services company, publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. When I started with Calian in early 2019, they had a Drupal 7 website that had been somewhat neglected and had technical issues, and the design and content were overall unimpressive, and not representative of a strong brand with an umbrella of highly specialized solutions. They were also lacking a social media strategy, appropriate analytics tracking, marketing automation and a modern CRM solution.

Winebuyers

I am partnering with WInebuyers to grow their business through paid media. We're working on establishing their FB/IG ad campaigns, as well as considering secondary channels for success. So far, we've audited their site and layout as well as tested multiple creative types and audiences on FB.
