Management Summary
In association with the two founders, Philip Bienz and Philipp Kirschbaum, we shaped and further developed the business model of Indyvit - with particular attention to the customer acquisition process. Furthermore, we developed a strategy on how to onboard and standardize B2B-affiliates on Shopify.
In performance marketing, the customer acquisiton was the biggest challenge, namely to acquire customers on Facebook and Instagram with a reasonable ROAS. We rolled out extensive UGC and invested heavily in the creative strategy - it was not that easy to bring a complex vision "democratizing supplements" into a consumer-ready-message. Eventually, we improved and were able to lower the CaCs by 25%.
In 2022, Indyvit won 2x awards at the Swiss Digital Commerce Awards, for Best E-Commerce Start-Up and Best Feature.
"We initially were an agency client of R17 Ventures; however, after 3 months we decided to get them onboard as a shareholder too. We appreciate their pragmatism and their very deep understanding of digital marketing, Shopify and e-commerce in general."
