As head of PPC my goal was to bring qualified buyers to the company. Powtoon offers a Saas that allows people to create videos. It's a freemium model, where people can sign up for a free trial, so they can test the platform and after 3 days trial decide if they want to purchase one of the available plans.

My goal was to bring people that will purchase the yearly pro plus plan, as this is the most profitable for the company in the long run.

The challenges were to target people who actually need the product and not people who occasionally use it.

The best users are Freelancers, graphic designers who want to add video to their arsenal and don't want to learn complex software like Adobe Premiere, etc.

Good target market is also companies that want to use video to simplify their messaging.

Creating content that is both technical and consumer-friendly. We also have to navigate regulation waters to be sure not to make any claims or use specific verbiage.

Bellissimo is one of our flagship clients as we like mutually like to say : we scaled together.

Their online store capped sales as their only traffic source was Facebook advertising for a sustainably long time. When we started working with Bellissimo in 2020, our team set up their email marketing infrastructure. Over the last 2 years we have expanded our ecosystem to include: Influencer Marketing (now collaborating with celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Floyd Mayweather and Jamie Foxx), text marketing, social media marketing, and a website revamp complete with hat customization tool.

Bellissimo now sees sustainable increase month over month. This year Bellissimo is seeing 160% more revenue than last year. 

Key achievements: 

• Influencer marketing strategy and partnerships facilitated in the fashion, sports and entertainment industry: Steve Aoki, Floyd Mayweather, Snoop Dogg Jamie Foxx, Mr. Mature

• 0 to 150k organic monthly impressions on Pinterest within 6 months

• 26k engaged Instagram followers

• created a targeted fan group and grew it to 1k members in one month, now at 3k members; the results have been overwhelming: group members share great content (ie. wearing the brand's products), this "feeding us content" which in return is bringing continuous growth; we also started to monetize the group and gain direct Shopify sales from group members

• Created an automated way to receive customer tags, photos and videos. Now, about 50% of our content is generated by other users which means we get extra reach and impressions without added effort.

Over the 6 years since their founding, ExeQut has effectively grown their DC based development company for businesses and government agencies alike. But they realized they were hitting a plateau of growth based around sales and referrals alone. They knew that a marketing strategy was needed.
