PBfit initially partnered with Pattern without interest in creative support for Amazon, as they relied on their in-house team.

We identified an opportunity to add value and conducted a strategic audit of their Amazon presence, delivering data-backed insights and a clear plan to improve content performance and conversion.

To demonstrate the impact, we applied our strategy to one key product and developed a fully realized example. That proof of concept shifted the conversation, leading PBfit to expand the engagement into a strategic creative partnership across additional products and categories.

PBfit (Better Body) initially partnered with Pattern without interest in creative support for Amazon, as they had an established in-house creative team.

Recognizing an opportunity to add value, we proposed a strategic audit of their Amazon presence to identify areas for optimization. Through this audit, we presented data-backed insights and a clear path to improving content performance and conversion.

The strength of our strategy and supporting analysis resonated with the client. To demonstrate the potential impact, we developed a comprehensive strategy for one key product, showcasing how creative and data could work together to elevate performance.

The results shifted the conversation. Better Body expanded the scope to include strategic creative partnership, engaging our team to provide insights and category-level recommendations across additional products within their portfolio.

A Content Brief is a structured, data-driven snapshot of a product’s performance, audience, and competitive landscape within Amazon's digital shelf. It translates marketplace data into clear content opportunities that drive conversion, traffic, and revenue.

Turning Data Into Conversion Opportunity

The brand has strong product imagery, but the image stack is underutilized. There is an opportunity to better communicate why to purchase, build trust, strengthen overall brand credibility, and differentiate PBfit from competitors.

Current Image Stack Status

“The brand initially expressed no need for creative support from Pattern. The completed designs, built from our audit strategy, shifted that position entirely.”

AI Image Gen

(Brand: Wilton) // tool: PXM

Wilton approached us with limited image assets after losing a significant portion of their lifestyle imagery internally.

To address this gap, we aligned on a plan to leverage our PXM AI tool, using existing product imagery to generate new visuals based on defined image archetypes.
Additionally, we filled key content gaps, such as clearly highlighting that the product is dishwasher safe.

(Brand: Petsafe) // tool: portal

PetSafe had a strong volume of imagery, but much of it was outdated.

We used the Portal to capture updated product reference images and train AI models specific to their products. Leveraging the bulk generator tool, we created 100 images per product, resulting in approximately 30 immediately usable assets per SKU with minimal editing.

(Brand: Kindred Bravely) // tool: Nano Banana

Kindred Bravely engaged us to demonstrate our capabilities by developing Amazon image stacks for two of their products.

Without access to existing brand imagery, we leveraged Nano Banana to generate strategic visuals that brought our messaging and image stack framework to life.

RealTruck engaged Pattern to optimize their Amazon PDPs and advertising strategy while simultaneously testing another agency on similar scope.

We conducted a comprehensive audit and presented strategic recommendations for their sub-brand, Gator, across image stacks, A+ content, Brand Story, and Storefront. The approach resonated strongly with the client.

After implementing the strategy, RealTruck expanded the partnership within a few months, awarding Pattern their full product catalog.

Winning the Full Catalog

RealTruck initially split their catalog between Pattern and another agency as part of a performance test.

Following the evaluation period, Pattern was awarded the remainder of the catalog based on the strength of our results & creative quality.

This win reflects the impact of the team’s strategic execution and performance delivery.
RealTruck’s existing image stacks were not being fully leveraged. We identified an opportunity to more clearly highlight key product features and benefits while also incorporating fitment guidance and truck bed measurement instructions to reduce confusion and mitigate potential returns.

Current Image Stack Status

(Wireframe strategy)

  1. Durability & Quality
  2. Fit & Functionality
  3. American Craftsmanship
  4. Everyday Protection
  5. Trusted by thousands of truck owners

Our goal is to reinforce trust and eliminate doubt through clarity and proof. By strengthening Gator’s value proposition and positioning with tangible evidence of craftsmanship and fitment, we can reduce hesitation and build long-term trust and loyalty.

While the current image stacks work, review analysis revealed confusion around what the product is, as the powder and usage were not visually shown.

Additionally, the second image created further uncertainty by featuring the travel pouch alongside various foods and drinks without clear context.

Current Image Stack:

(Current Image Stack)

Through analysis of the content brief, customer reviews, and competitive landscape, we identified key themes: concerns around taste and texture, a desire for simple daily use, and the need for clear, upfront information.

We translated these insights into defined messaging pillars and built creative to support them, leading with a strong value proposition, incorporating in-use demonstrations, and clearly presenting Supplement Facts to reinforce transparency and trust.

The Strategy:

The results validate our strategy to lead with clarity, include trust cues early, and pair strong visual design with straightforward benefit communication.

Image stacks play a critical role in listing performance. To validate a shift from the original strategy, we tested Benefiber’s existing image stack against my recommended approach using a third-party platform.

Each test surveyed 100 U.S. participants across varying ages and genders, requiring detailed rationale for their selections.

User Testing:

Strategy Validated by Shoppers

Across all tests, Pattern’s image stacks consistently ranked #1, earning 57 to 72 percent of shopper preference. The winning drivers were clear product and ingredient transparency, step-by-step usage guidance, and a polished, premium presentation that reinforced quality and trust.

The results validate our strategy to lead with clear step-by-step instructions, combine visual storytelling with straightforward benefit communication, and remove friction from the purchase decision.

“[Pattern’s Image Stack] shows the powder and provides a quicker way to get the benefits of the product. [Current Image Stacks] doesn't really convey the same effect due to it not showing what the product look like or it's function.”

As the creative strategist for NuvoH2O, I led the brand’s creative direction and oversaw execution across paid and organic social, UGC, email, website, and wholesale print materials.

When the client approached us, their branding was outdated and underperforming. We developed a comprehensive creative and marketing strategy. We started with moodboards and a refreshed visual direction, which we presented to the client to align on photography, design, and tone.

One of NuvoH2O’s biggest challenges was low website conversion. The buying journey was unclear, making it difficult for customers to choose the right system. We restructured the experience around a guided quiz that asked questions about home size and filter needs, streamlining product selection and improving the overall path to purchase.

We restructured the experience around a guided quiz that asked questions about home size and filter needs, streamlining product selection and improving the overall path to purchase.

We ran six rounds of messaging tests on Meta to uncover which value props resonated most with our target audience.

By keeping visuals consistent and testing different copy variations, we identified the top-performing messages—resulting in a 10% CTR, 3x higher than the account average.

Winning themes included: pure water, affordable financing, home water softening, eco-friendliness, and salt-free benefits.

As the creative strategist and art director for Kirrin Finch, I led a series of performance-focused creative tests rooted in a strong messaging foundation.

Starting with a research-backed messaging guide, I identified key audience demographics and crafted messaging pillars around education (what the brand is/isn’t), necessity, credibility, and lifestyle impact.

Using these insights, we developed value-driven ad copy for market acceptance testing, allowing us to pinpoint what resonated most with the brand’s audience.

These efforts resulted in an 84% increase in CTR and a 44% improvement in ROAS. We also applied the winning messaging to top-performing campaigns, including a custom wedding carousel ad that became one of the strongest performers in the account.
