Knova Tools

Knova is a Mexican brand of professional tools.

My role was to develop the entire digital division and drive marketing strategies that led to a 35% increase in digital sales globally in the first year, with consistent year-over-year growth. Today, Knova leads in multiple product categories, with a revamped brand identity, omnipresence across major eCommerce platforms, and a strong connection with its customers.

Marketing

I created and developed the national event “Mega Venta Knova”, generating an immediate impact on sales and brand positioning. The strategy was to create a storewide sales event, offering discounts on every product in the store—a first-of-its-kind initiative in the market, especially in September, a traditionally slow sales month that most brands avoid due to national celebrations.

By taking a disruptive approach, we achieved a 300% increase in global sales that month, and the event continues to grow each year. Today, it stands as the most important sales event for the company

eCommerce / Content

I led the launch of Knova.com.mx and the Knova App (iOS/Android) in 2020, designing an intuitive, visually engaging platform. The custom-built website seamlessly integrated with our operations, ensuring full control over distribution, finance, and inventory.

I also spearheaded our expansion on Amazon (Vendor/Seller) and Mercado Libre, driving over 200% sales growth on both platforms. By 2023, sales had increased by 1,200%, enabling partnerships with Home Depot, Coppel, Liverpool, ClaroShop, and Walmart.

I established a strong in-house creative studio. Through high-quality campaigns and trend-driven content, we’ve built a unique brand presence that differentiates Knova from competitors, positioning it as an industry leader in digital marketing and online sales.
