Blenders Eyewear

I am the creative lead on the Blenders Eyewear account. In collaboration with media analysts, I manage the creative analysis, hypothesis development, and creative production based on performance data. Additionally, I lead creative planning strategy & innovation brainstorms for both internal & external teams. We have produced and tested creative across the Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and Pinterest native ad platforms & channels.

Since the start of the partnership in February 2020 - Blenders Eyewear has had a 80% YOY Revenue Growth; 86% growth during promos, 78% growth during evergreen periods. Our internal team drove this growth by showing the right person the right ad with the right product:

  • We strategically expanded audiences, growing underserved cohorts like males

  • We rapidly developed and tested creatives, and matched them to audiences

  • We custom-built Ampush tech to identify the best SKUs to market and guide our SKU testing

Diving deeper into creative & creative testing:

  • Diversified creative assets by introducing more video, collection ads & carousels on core Facebook.

  • Produced 9x the amount of unique creatives compared to 2019. We’ve paced at an avg. of unique 272 creatives per month.

  • This allowed us to define what creative types worked best for different audiences. For example, for Prospecting audiences we found statics outperformed video & collections. Whereas, Collection ads outperformed both statics and videos for Winbacks. This gave us the opportunity to continue to optimize and strategically put our energy in the right efforts.

  • Increased the number of SKU’s tested -> More SKU diversity in the account means more potential buyers. On average, we tested 74 SKUs per month within creatives & ad types.
