I joined MouseMods as brand manager in 2024, operating the MouseMods brand and providing creative insights for e-commerce strategy.
Alongside managing daily Shopify operations, I was challenged to turn around the Sakura Whiteout Mousepad Series, a struggling SKU, by developing a fresh, community-driven promotional campaign from the ground up.

Utilizing the existing mascot and my expertise as an animator, I proposed creating an animated short to boost Whiteout's market exposure on our socials.
I first redesigned our official mascot and created fundamental assets for upcoming production.

I assembled and directed a dedicated animation team through collaborative pre-production workshops. Together, we decided on a feudal Japanese aesthetic, establishing an authentic visual style that complemented the product's design.










Self-reflection
Looking back, I initially approached this campaign with an artist's mindset—having fun creating a visually stunning animation and expecting high sales returns based on graphics alone.
However, this campaign proved to be an important learning experience: Marketing and UX are never just about pretty visuals.
I learned that true conversion happens at the intersection of appeal, discoverability, and proper CTA. Graphics may catch someone’s eye, but strategic positioning and clear, empathetic copy are what help the right audience discover the product, understand its value, and make a decision to purchase.
