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.

Our partnership began as the company underwent a complete rebranding and repositioning. Formerly Sunshine Kids and well known in retail spaces for exceptional safety standards, Diono wanted to establish themselves as an international brand with its own ecommerce channel and a product line that expanded beyond car seats. With a small budget and strict pricing requirements, we drove growth of the Diono brand and digital footprint up to the point of acquisition in early 2018.
