Back in 2015, I led a full refresh of the digital marketing for Design + Life + Kids — a small e-commerce boutique with huge potential. I overhauled the email strategy, tightened up the site experience, dialed in SEO, and built paid and organic social campaigns that actually spoke to their customers. Within 60 days, sales surged: March revenue tripled, and April became the best month the store had ever had.
Impact:
