The Challenge

During my 3+ years at Ancestry, I spent time on both the paid search and performance display & content marketing teams, managing budgets exceeding $2 million/month. There were a few hurdles to cross before effectively implementing a successful digital marketing strategy.


Challenges:

Paid Search

  • Urgency for rapid growth of AncestryDNA kit sales and international expansion
  • Need for cross-functional collaboration to expand other marketing channels

Performance Display & Content Marketing

  • Lack of presence across paid social channels except Facebook
  • Limited international presence, resulting in insufficient family history sign-ups and DNA kit sales

ROAS

Playground Active

This client came to me after going through 2 agencies with unsuccessful results. The owner had issues discovering how to drive more results from their paid advertising efforts. They were getting a lot of people adding to cart and initiating checkouts, but not actually purchasing.


Their main objectives are to drive a more successful return on ad spend on the front end, but also needing to increase customer retention from the sales that came in so they were more profitable on the backend as well.


We implemented a new campaign structure to generate better results as well as helping to work on retaining and cross-selling campaigns that would drive a better LTV for the brand as well as new creative and audience testing as well.
