Limited ressources, getting creatives for ads, working with a poor web agency

Adventure Warehouse's #1 goal was to sell excess inventory. In a crowded, trend-driven and competitive market, Adventure Warehouse knew that they needed to be in front of consumers when they were searching for their products. They chose to work with a group of PPC specialists to ensure that the excess inventory they had sitting in their facilities would move and move quickly.

I started working with BodyFX (home workout programs) as they were heading into a historically slower period for the brand (Q4). They had never run "holiday" sales or messaging, instead opting to reduce spend Oct-(mid)Dec before their big Q1 push. I pitched the client on a pre-holiday strategy (promotion & messaging) for us to start testing in early November, which he approved. The campaigns were a success (within target CPA range) and we were not only able to scale the initial tests, but iterate on the messaging throughout Nov & Dec to scale consistently over the holiday period, resulting in a 129% increase in spend YoY.

The brand wanted to expand its presence on Google but had a hard time scaling. They were only using Shopping and had yet to try Performance Max.
