About Smartpaw
Smartpaw is a growing smart pet technology brand in Singapore. We distribute premium pet tech products — smart litter boxes, automatic feeders, pet fountains, and more — across Shopify, Shopee, TikTok Shop, and Lazada.
We're a small but fast-moving team, and we need a Marketing Lead to own our entire marketing engine. You'll manage our external ads partner, plan campaigns, build our influencer program, and lead event activations. You'll work directly with the founder.
What You'll Own
Paid Ads Strategy & Optimization
- Oversee and manage our external ads partner who handles day-to-day ad execution across Meta, Google, Shopee Ads, and TikTok Ads
- Set ROAS targets, review performance, and direct optimization — you're the strategist, he's the executor
- Approve budgets, creative direction, and audience targeting decisions
- Hold weekly performance reviews and ensure all channels hit their targets
- Allocate and manage the overall monthly ad budget across channels
Campaign Planning & Execution
- Plan and run all major sales campaigns end-to-end (GSS, 6.6, 7.7, 9.9, 11.11, Black Friday, Christmas)
- Create campaign briefs — promo mechanics, channel strategy, timeline, budget split
- Coordinate with our design VA on creative assets
- Brief ads partner on campaign-specific ad requirements
- Post-campaign analysis and learnings
Influencer / KOL Management
- Build and manage a pipeline of SG pet influencers (micro to mid-tier)
- Handle outreach, negotiate collaborations (gifting + paid)
- Brief influencers on content requirements and brand guidelines
- Track influencer performance and ROI
Events & Activations
- Plan and lead all on-ground activations — pet expos, pop-ups, roadshows, brand collaborations
- Own the event calendar: which events to attend, budget, and expected ROI
- Coordinate event logistics with our operations team (stock, booth setup, collateral)
- Be present on-ground to represent the brand, demo products, and engage visitors
- Run pre-event marketing (ads, email, social) and post-event reporting
Email Marketing (EDM)
- Build and manage Klaviyo flows (welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, win-back)
- Plan campaign email blasts aligned with sales calendar
- Grow and segment the email subscriber list
Reporting & Strategy
- Monthly marketing performance report (ads, campaigns, influencer, email, events)
- Recommend budget shifts based on what's working
- Flag underperforming channels early
- Identify growth opportunities across channels
What We're Looking For
