  As a Product Manager at Derivan since 2012, I have been proud to work with a team of highly experienced professionals in SEO, content marketing, and email funnel designs. Our hard work has paid off, and I am proud to say that our efforts have resulted in a significant increase in website traffic and main website sales in the past four years. We have achieved this success through audience building on YouTube and Instagram, organising events, and working on our social media accounts. Our expertise in product R&D for artists and crafters has been essential in developing successful sponsorship agreements, managing product development and research, and providing technical advice and community engagement. The success of our team is something I am incredibly proud of. Together, we have achieved outstanding results, and I am confident our future achievements will be even greater. Show less
