KEY ACHIEVEMENTS & METRICS

  • 13% YoY Revenue Growth
  • 9.1 CSAT Score
  • 45+ Brand Portfolio
  • 3x Business Growth

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  • Demand fluctuation across SEA markets was suppressing revenue momentum. The challenge: how to maintain growth when organic demand dips. My solution was to systematically identify and activate three high-leverage levers — brand moments, cultural collaborations, and KOL partnerships — and back each with precision paid media execution.
  • (01) Problem: Revenue risked dipping in May without a demand trigger. A footwear brand’s annual celebration of its grey heritage shoes— presented a high-intent window. The challenge was to maximize it before it passed.
  • What I Did: Identified the window as a peak revenue lever and built a dedicated paid media activation plan across .com , Multibrand.com’s (Footlocker, Planet Sports Asia , Sports Station) and Marketplace channels
  • Aligned biddable media timing and budget allocation with the brand calendar to capture surge demand in May
  • Structured campaigns to scale awareness-to-conversion within the month-long window
  • Impact: Achieved 60% higher ROAS above the yearly average of 8.3 .
  • (02) Problem: Organic search demand was insufficient to sustain revenue targets. KOL partnerships existed but weren’t being monetized through paid media. The gap was connecting influencer audiences to purchase intent.
  • What I Did: Designed and activated dedicated Google Search and Performance Max (PMax) campaigns mapped to each KOL’s collection and audience intent
  • Built retargeting flows to capture KOL-driven traffic and convert engaged users efficiently
  • Structured creative and bidding strategy to align with each KOL’s content calendar, maximising relevance and quality score
  • Impact: KOL-aligned campaigns delivered 12.1% CTR and 2x+ RoAS vs benchmark — proving that structured paid media behind influencer moments unlocks compounding revenue.
  • (03) Problem: Our clients were international, which meant the team operated almost entirely online. Over time, this created a silent but serious capability gap: the team had deep technical skills but lacked the confidence to present, speak up, or hold their own in face-to-face or agency-level discussions. In cross-functional collaborations, they stayed quiet. In client meetings, they deferred. In public forums, they disappeared.
  • What I Did: A biweekly structured presentation programme designed to build public speaking, knowledge sharing, and confidence — through low-pressure, high-engagement sessions.
  • The format: every two weeks, a team member picks a topic, builds a PPT, presents to the full team, and runs a short quiz. Topics ranged from serious to fun
  • Impact: Team members gained visibility beyond their immediate account — contributing ideas and perspectives in cross-functional agency discussions. Noticeable improvement in team confidence during in-person interactions and QBRs
