As Packhelp accelerated its European growth, the company expanded into five new markets: Germany, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Romania. I coordinated the go-to-market rollout, ensuring every customer touchpoint was localized and ready for launch.

The challenge

Launching in a new country is more than translating a website.

Each market had different customer expectations, communication styles, and competitive dynamics. The challenge was to deliver a consistent Packhelp experience while making every launch feel genuinely local.


The strategy

We approached the expansion as a coordinated go-to-market initiative spanning marketing, product, CRM, customer support, and operations.

Alongside localizing the website and customer journeys, we introduced native-language communication, developed market-specific campaigns, and worked with local PR partners to tailor messaging for each country. Instead of repeating the same launch story everywhere, we adapted our communication to local audiences—from sustainability in Spain to e-commerce trends in Romania.

To strengthen local relevance, we also collaborated with regional designers to create exclusive packaging collections that became part of Packhelp's online editor and generated additional design press coverage.


My role

I acted as the project manager for the international rollout, coordinating teams across marketing, product, CRM, customer support, and external partners.

My responsibilities included managing website localization, customer journeys, launch communications, PR coordination, and campaign execution across five markets, ensuring every workstream stayed aligned throughout the launch.


What I delivered

The project combined localization, marketing, and operational coordination to support Packhelp's international expansion.

  • Localized customer journeys and lifecycle communication for five European markets.

  • International launch campaigns spanning PR, social media, email marketing, and paid promotion.

  • Coordination of website localization and customer-facing marketing assets.

  • Market-specific communication strategies developed with local PR partners and freelancers.

  • Creative collaborations with regional designers, introducing localized packaging collections into Packhelp's online editor.


Impact

The launch established Packhelp's presence across five new European markets and created a scalable framework for future international expansion.

  • 100+ media mentions and 45+ backlinks generated through coordinated PR activities.

  • Coverage in international design publications, including The Brand Identity and PRINT Magazine, The Dieline etc.

  • A repeatable go-to-market process that connected marketing, CRM, product, and operations around international launches.
