I was the head of performance marketing for Bloomberg Media. I led all of our advertising, from determining our budget, electing creative and overseeing external and internal execution. During my time at Bloomberg we grew yearly revenue from $4M to $100M in 3 years.

The Challenge

Prior to working with Diogenes Solutions, the team at Gakken focused their efforts on Amazon Marketing with no Success usually just opting for automatic Amazon PPC campaigns that were costly and not profitable.

To position itself as a Top selling children’s book company, Gakken would have to prioritize targeted manual PPC campaigns. They would need to focus on ASIN targeting competitor products. Book targeting needs to be conservative in bidding and hyper targeted.

The Gakken team sought me out as the right person to take on the challenge.

The goal was to refine Gakkens PPC targeting with manual Selection, identify high-impact keywords, Categories and Products as well as display ads to fill topic gaps throughout the funnel, and ultimately, grow traffic and conversions.

The challenge, EFTI’s reputation is mostly known within the industry as a top level education center in Madrid, highly valued but mostly off-line. Over the years several small schools appeared in the digital context and captured the digital market quota leaving EFTI with low digital impact. The challenge was to position LIBREE’s digital platform as a new player in the online course sector and as a top player in the online visual art education.

They weren't able to drive any sales.
