The Challenge

Campaign Platform

Used the HEART framework to determine how to onboard a brand onto the platform and determine success

What It Is

The LTK Campaign Dashboard is a scalable SaaS platform that enables brands to create, manage, and track influencer marketing campaigns—all in one place. It streamlines everything from casting creators to monitoring ROI, while giving internal LTK teams the tools to support campaigns faster, smarter, and with less manual effort.

As LTK scaled its brand partnerships, campaign creation and management had become slow, fragmented, and highly manual. Brands didn’t have a centralized interface to build campaigns, cast influencers, or track performance. Internally, campaign specialists and account teams spent hours coordinating launches using Excel sheets, Word docs, PDFs, and long email threads.

The challenge was to replace that tangled process with a streamlined, scalable set of tools—designed to serve both brand needs and internal efficiency, while ensuring the final experience was clear, fast, and campaign-ready.

"Brands told us they want to make their own campaigns"

The Research

To build a solution that worked for both sides of the platform, I focused on understanding the distinct needs of each user type:

Interviewed brand partners to understand how they define campaign success and where they struggled with visibility and creator selection

Shadowed LTK account managers and campaign specialists to map the steps of campaign intake, creator matching, and performance reporting

Identified common pain points: misaligned timelines, manual tracking, limited creator insights, and inconsistent reporting

Synthesized findings into a dual-track system that served brand goals (reach + ROI) and internal efficiency (speed + accuracy)

This research shaped a solution focused on clarity, control, and communication across all campaign roles.

TL; DR

I designed a scalable SaaS dashboard that gave brands full control over influencer campaign creation, casting, and ROI reporting—while also building internal tools that cut coordination time for LTK teams from hours to minutes. This platform helped LTK scale to over $4.1B in retail sales annually, with brands achieving 585%+ ROAS in some campaigns. My UX strategy balanced usability with performance and made data storytelling a key product differentiator.

What I Did

I led the design of two integrated tools that worked in tandem:

1. Brand-Facing Campaign Dashboard

Allowed brands to quickly trigger campaigns that the LTK team could easily create, define deliverables, cast creators, and track status in one streamlined interface

Embedded performance reporting with visual analytics, engagement data, and ROI snapshots

Designed casting workflows with creator profiles, past campaign results, and approval flows to build trust and reduce friction

Created a brand self serve mvp for complete self guided control

Finalized home dashboard and reporting tool based off of feedback.

  • Campaign quick view and creation tool

  • Quick real time metrics

  • Campaign specific reporting with ability to download pdf of report

  • Influencer

2. Internal Campaign Management Tool

Included dashboards for campaign monitoring, team communication, approval management, and reporting exports

Enabled real-time updates, status tracking, and casting insights—all tied back to the brand-facing system

Delivered high-fidelity prototypes, interaction models, and a component-based design system to support cross-team scaling.

Internal campaign platform allowed team oversight, notifications, task creation, and campaign engagement

The Impact

  • Brands using LTK’s campaign tools saw up to 585% YoY return on ad spend (ROAS), with some campaigns generating over 25K clicks in a single promotion cycle

  • In one marketplace campaign, 27% of total sales came directly through the LTK app, validating the value of real-time, creator-linked performance data

  • The dashboard supported LTK’s broader platform growth, which now drives $4.1B+ in annual retail sales and reaches 40M monthly shoppers across mobile and social platforms

  • Internally, campaign specialists and account teams cut hours of reporting work down to minutes—freeing them up to focus on strategic planning and relationship management

Looking towards the future, I guided the design team to concept the future of brand/influencer relationships and think through marketplace feasibility and roadmap inclusion.

Design included a redesigned LTK landing page with gated entry into the marketplace that gave influencers the power to market themselves and engage with brands on their terms and scale their personal brands.
