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
