Hello, I’m Rowie.

I turn colorful ideas into clear marketing plans.

I’m Rowie Navergas, Marketing Lead for the Poplet Ice Candy PH project. I combined audience research, content planning, campaign ideas, and marketing automation to help bring a playful brand story to life.

About my role

Strategy with a clear place in the team.

Poplet is a colorful, affordable ice candy concept with the line “Cool Bites, Happier Days!” It was developed as a collaborative business proposal, bringing together project, brand, marketing, sales, operations, and finance perspectives.

As Marketing Lead, I focused on how the brand could reach, interest, and guide its audience. My work supported the team’s wider proposal—it did not replace the creative, operational, sales, finance, or project contributions around it.

Marketing strategy & target audience

I shaped a focused approach around the people most likely to connect with Poplet.

Brand message & content pillars

I turned the playful brand promise into repeatable themes for clear, consistent content.

Launch & social content planning

I organized a four-week story arc from first teaser to campaign recap.

Engagement & community ideas

I planned approachable ways to invite reactions, sharing, and local visibility.

GHL planning & automation support

I mapped Social Planner activity and the Winning Pop claim journey in GoHighLevel.

Marketing strategy

A simple strategy built around joy, recall, and connection.

The goal was to build awareness, engagement, and loyalty through fun content, community visibility, and memorable customer experiences.

The 30-Day Marketing Plan

My 30-day plan gave Poplet a focused way to test demand close to home: introduce the product, encourage first orders, invite customers back, and review the results before expanding.

All figures below are plan goals or budget assumptions, not achieved results.

    Awareness

    Open the social pages, explain the product and prices, share colorful product content, and collect first reactions.

    Trial

    Promote the proposed ₱45 mixed 10-piece pack, offer sampling, and encourage Messenger pre-orders.

  3. Week 33

    Repeat

    Use flavor polls, customer feedback, and friendly reorder reminders.

  4. Week 44

    Partners

    Explore small trials with local stores, school contacts, and event suppliers.

Winning Pop in the pilot

The plan recommends teasing the surprise first, then confirming final mechanics, prize quantities, redemption steps, dates, and any applicable permit requirements before promoting prizes. This is a suggested campaign approach, not a verified live promotion.

“As Marketing Lead, I developed the campaign direction and reporting approach, while coordinating with the project team responsible for approvals, design, stock, orders, and fulfillment.”
