Project History
Top 5 Finalist (Marketing Category)
Top 5 finalists in Canada for the 2022 Young Lions Marketing Competition (March, 2022)
Created an imaginary AI service that could detect mental health issues in children by analyzing text messages sent on the Rogers network (a brand that the team picked to create this hypothetical service). Our team created a holistic national marketing strategy to get Canadian parents with mobile family plans to enroll in the service to take advantage of AI-powered detection and customized treatment plans. The team was recognized for our creativity in creating a hypothetical AI solution based on the brand (Rogers) fit and creating a marketing strategy with a deep understanding of the target audience and the market need. We finished the competition in the top five out of all teams from Canada.
Winner of 2021 Best Media Thinking Category
Won the 2021 Association of National Advertisers In-House Excellence Award in the Best Media Thinking Category (July 2021)
Executed a cross-channel campaign using HP brand store pages as landing pages in Google Ads campaigns. We wanted to place an ad using another domain that could convert customers efficiently and defend our real estate on Google SERPs. We created custom Amazon store pages optimized for high-intent Google traffic and implemented dynamic sales tracking that could attribute Amazon product sales to the ad spend on Google. The beta test was a massive success, with a 6x ROAS on incremental Amazon sales. We won a Best Media Thinking Award from the Association of National Advertisers in 2021 for being recognized as the first strategy ever to be executed in North America.
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Boxing Match Pay-Per-View Campaign
Ran a last-minute targeted paid search campaign promoting the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao boxing PPV. Paid search, the only paid media that ran from OMD, represented 27% of traffic to the landing page and resulted in 4,000 sales inquiries.
Took the initiative to analyze the revenue opportunity from selling the premium PPV boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, a match titled "The Fight of the Century." Paid search was the only paid media that supported the exclusive PPV distribution license that Rogers had because I was the only person who went to the Rogers brand team to get campaign approval. With only two weeks left before the fight, I worked around the clock to launch a paid search campaign that every Canadian wanted to find and click on during that time. Paid search, the only paid media that ran from OMD, represented 27% of traffic to the landing page and resulted in 4,000 sales inquiries.
