It all begins with an idea.

Crowdsource funding can be the lifeblood for scaling a small business- but in the cost of living crisis, the challenge of achieving funding targets lies in engaging your most loyal followers.

I built a marketing strategy focusing on low-mid tier investment from existing customers, designing tailored creative for multiple objectives during the campaign, with a comprehensive organic content plan and personalised SMS and email marketing flows. I also wrote and designed the CSF offer document, with Adobe InDesign.

The company generated significant revenue over 5 years and had a strong engaged, returning customer base- 72% Return Customer Rate- but was not yet profitable. Targeting highly engaged customers with aligned values in the premium/niche market meant that the campaign was cost effective and successful despite economic downturn and reduced spending in crowd source funding. Ad spend was cost effective at 9% of the total funds raised.

356 investors raised $477,596 for Dirty Clean Food in August 2024.
