Blow LTD, the UK's Uber-for-beauty brand, creatively solves a genuine problem by providing affordable and professional at-home beauty services conveniently accessible through their app and website.
Paid media was one of the avenues to increase app downloads and sales. Landing pages were an essential factor in rising conversion rates. After weeks and months of testing content, imagery, CTAs, promo codes, and reviews, I found a winning formula. Smartly, the campaign strategy emphasizes landing pages, exemplified by the clever promotion of in-home eyelash extensions showcased here.

Marketing Agency to In-house Management
Established an in-house marketing team to quickly respond to marketing financial news campaigns, achieving a 63% decrease in CPA and international expansion from 3 to 19 countries.
The project began with a comparative assessment of the costs of managing two agencies versus building an in-house team, plus negotiating the Google Marketing suite (DoubleClick) license, which was managed with the agency.
Leveraging data from Google Marketing (DoubleClick), I calculated media costs and people resources expenses and integrated the DoubleClick suite with Salesforce CRM to gather ROI for keyword-level and customer data. I later hired and trained two junior professionals and a senior executive to oversee campaigns and retain expertise internally.
Key insights included identifying the most effective audiences, targeting strategies, and creative elements for optimal performance. These insights can also be applied to broader business strategies.
