Shrooly changed its commercial model while it repaired acquisition and customer trust

As Head of Marketing for a consumer hardware and subscription business, I led the brand repositioning and marketing response across paid acquisition, ecommerce lifecycle marketing and crisis communication.

From one-time hardware to repeat purchases

Consumer hardware, subscriptions, paid acquisition and crisis communication

The situation

Shrooly needed to move beyond one-time hardware sales while brand positioning, acquisition efficiency, shipping-related customer concerns and a class action lawsuit put pressure on customer confidence.

My remit

I was Head of Marketing from 2023 to 2024, with responsibility for the commercial transition, brand repositioning, paid media, ecommerce acquisition, lifecycle marketing and crisis communication.

What I did

Reallocated acquisition media
I changed the media allocation and restructured acquisition around the commercial model.
Developed lifecycle marketing
I connected repeat-purchase communication to the subscription direction and broadened the mix beyond paid acquisition.

I set the communication strategy for the customer-trust crisis and class action lawsuit.

Evidence

Blended ROAS moved from approximately 1.14x to 3.4x. The crisis communication strategy received a Gold Globee Award for crisis communication.
