The Challenge

Owners acquired existing small business conference event. Sales and marketing consisted of a team of 3 outbound marketers which produced roughly 150 attendees per event in every city. New owners wanted to grow attendance to 500+ and wanted to do it all with digital marketing so that it was highly scalable and replicable for every event.

The Process

• Designed digital marketing strategy for selling event tickets and corporate sponsorships.

• Created a combination of partnerships, digital advertising, and media contacts to sell out events across North America.

• Built the digital marketing team, and lead social media, content marketing, mobile app, email and website strategy.

• Digital advertising topped 200 million impressions for EDCE Canada alone in 2016.

• Lead email marketing and automation efforts, deploying more than 14 million targeted messages a year with an industry-beating average open rate of 28%.

• Increased social engagement on EDCE properties by nearly 50%.

• Created marketing automation efficiencies to increase the business development team's effectiveness.

• Responsible for advertising strategy and media planning including managing external agencies.

• Led the effort to refresh the EDCE brand, maintaining equity and consistency while modernizing the look and feel.

Zest Dental Solutions

Zest Dental is one of the largest dental implant manufacturers in the U.S. Their primary audiences are Dentists at offices across the country who perform surgery with dental implants. Some challenges I faced were

  • The client is a leader in the space which makes new customer acquisition strategies/expansion more difficult 
  • They had no great offers to use in their campaigns 
  • Sophisticated B2B audience
  • Brand loyalty to competitors in the market


The strategy

I began by leveraging the client’s existing data and Google’s machine learning algorithm to ensure that we’re targeting users most likely to convert. The goal was to feed the algorithm with the best data possible so we could go after new customers searching for non-branded terms.


After sufficiently utilizing campaign structures to segment the customer journey map in Google Ads, I began a substantial increase in ad spend to scale this account while maintaining an optimal ROAS.


Once we established a great search ads structure, we began to move higher in the funnel utilizing Google display, discovery and video campaigns for new customer acquisition.
