Simply Local is building a marketplace for farmers and ranchers to sell direct to consumers. They were looking to scale both their customer base and farmer base as they refine their offerings. They had a very aggressive cost per lead goal, along with limited geographical targeting (Austin, Texas area)

Atlassian, a B2B workplace collaboration software company, was heading towards a cloud-first future where it needed to move its marketing processes from being focused on high-touch single product journeys to now self-serve (user onboards on their own), low-touch (light chat support based on bronze/silver status) and high-touch (gold status, enterprise customers) across many products and apps.

The technology, marketing and sales teams were misaligned, and looked for a partner who could speak marketing + sales + technology, which was the role I played. My responsibility was in leading product managers and program managers to enable strategies in lifecycle marketing (prospects growth, lead acquisition, nurture programming, conversion and retention) and move freemium users through the upgrade path, with the goal of activating low-CAC flywheel marketing.

Like most industries, the building industry is VERY competitive. Builders often have very high marketing budgets and utilize this spend on SEO + ads via established agencies.

The reason why they came to us over other agencies is that we're an agency owned and run by digital marketers, not salespeople.

New Choice Homes wanted innovation and clever ideas rather than simply rolling out a standard search campaign and SEO plan.

Gruvtowl (Groove-Towel)  was a new product entering a golfing market full of big, established brands. The product (a golf towel with integrated brush) was innovative and well designed, but entering a category with no direct competitor meant there was no established product to pitch against.

The marketing budget was modest and the stakes were high – the client had to prove the product worked and deliver fast sales to fund future investment.
