About the Project
01
Challenge
When Marika Adamopoulos first founded The Marika, she embarked on her entrepreneurial journey as a solo founder, single-handedly managing all aspects of her business, including customer service. The company's customer support system was rudimentary, relying on email through Gmail and Google Voice for addressing customer inquiries. As the company rapidly expanded, it became evident that this manual and fragmented approach to customer support was no longer sustainable. Marika faced the challenge of scaling her business while maintaining high-quality customer service, which had become a cornerstone of her brand's reputation.
