Managed the social media accounts, devised and executed the ad strategy, which accrued an average impression rate of 10,000/ad on a stringent budget.

The team grew the ad to sale conversion rate to 5% within a span of 3 months since launching the company.

Partnered with retail outlets and new-age lifestyle gifting partners in Bangalore.

We were able to accrue a brand revenue of ₹1,20,000 within 3 months of launching the brand and with 2 product lines.

This was a successful failure, as it taught me the intricacies of a D2C company, brand engagement and how to find the perfect product market fit. Being a bootstrapped startup, funds were scarce, thus was not able to experiment a lot with the perfect product market fit, which didn’t give us the comfort for seeking venture funds too. Thus, having our lessons and experience under the belt, we let Hallbar rest.
