In my role, I played a pivotal part in ESPRO's digital evolution, co-leading the transition to Shopify and shaping a compelling direct-to-consumer selling experience. Additionally, I took the lead on the rebranding initiative in 2022, orchestrating a comprehensive overhaul to enhance brand equity, bolster sales, and cultivate lasting customer relationships. My responsibilities encompassed the development and execution of multifaceted strategies spanning brand development, marketing, creative endeavors, and .com sales. Together with my team, I ensured the brand website's direction, user experience, content, and overall consumer value were consistently optimized. Furthermore, I collaborated closely with advertising and PR agencies to drive targeted traffic to all ESPRO digital sales points and maintained a cohesive and visually engaging digital storefront across those points. Additionally, I spearheaded creative projects across various sales channels, prioritizing maximum utility and return on investment. I actively crafted digital marketing strategies, including those for social media, advertising, influencer engagement, and digital content development, all aimed at amplifying brand awareness and fostering deeper consumer engagement. An integral part of my role was effectively translating and conveying ESPRO's unique selling propositions into impactful creative and persuasive copy. Show less
