Katherine Romero was the Senior eCommerce Marketing Manager for the Deckers portfolio, including brands like UGG Australia, Teva and Sanuk. She now runs her own agency MAKA Digital helping brands build digital happiness.
She also tells us how a content marketing campaign for a small cycling brand has been hit 500,000 views with less than $5,000 spent to promote it.
The entire interview is packed with Katherine’s knowledge about the intersection of PPC, SEO, PR, content and more for retail brands. She explains how to set up an affiliate program, how to get offline retailers to take digital seriously, and why at Deckers they loved the Google Panda update.
