Wix Product Marketing Campaign

As a Product Marketing Manager at Wix, I worked on various projects and features along the main funnel. One of the issues we saw was that users who signed up to Wix.com through their mobile devices, were not taking the next step to create their website. Since websites couldn’t be created on mobile, my goal was to guide users to make their first website on desktop, and then upgrade to become paying Premium users.

I developed an ongoing campaign that targeted these users with relevant emails based on their activity.

As a result, we saw an increased amount of users continuing through the funnel to create their websites and convert to Premium.

Experience gained: Product marketing, strategy, messaging, creative direction, writing, marketing

I then led a team of designers, writers, developers, and other marketing professionals to develop messaging, build creative assets, launch targeted campaigns across various channels, monitor results, and iterate based on our set KPIs - awareness, usage, and upgrades.

Wix Product Marketing

An issue i tackled while working at Wix as a Product Marketing Manager was churn from some of Wix’s early cohort of users. The websites and pages these users had created when Wix first started were becoming obsolete, and as a result, a slew of dated 404 pages were appearing in their place without clear direction for users to remedy the issue.

I worked with the Product and Engineering teams to map out the various scenarios in which these pages would appear, led the creative direction of new 404 pages in line with our new visual language, and developed clear messaging for users to take action to restore their websites and payments.

Experience gained: product marketing, cross-functional team leadership, messaging, creative direction
