As one of the world's leading news agencies, Reuters goes "back to the start, where there’s no bias and no agenda to tell the real story," thereby providing a critical service all Reuters employees deeply believed in. Yet as a small business unit in shrinking industry (Publishing) within a large company (Thomson Reuters), the news agency was severely limited in both staff and budget.

My challenge was to help grow revenue through the digital marketing channel for the news agency with only $100k-$200k budget and no staff support within the new agency.

This client had more than 20 facilities for treating addiction. They were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on Google ads in order to drive phone calls, but they had no call tracking and hadn't done any conversion optimization. We created microsites in order to narrowly target their advertising both geographically, as well as by substance (eg alcohol, opiates, benzos, etc). We set up call tracking and started A/B testing. We had a multitude of wins, losses, and iterations to the websites based on our work. But I'm proud to have skyrocketed their revenue with 3 separate A/B tests that EACH increased the conversion rate on their primary goal of a phone call by more than 100% (99% statistically significant).

Start-up bridal industry trying to break-into a stuffy, non-dynamic industry owned by a couple of heavy hitters

• client was a small fish in a big pond not getting attention or focus from their agency, but paying the premium to hire them
• campaigns were not being executed properly, and not a lot of optimization was happening on a weekly basis
• campaigns were structed in ways that kept creative and campaigns in learning phase for too long, which didn't help performance
• not leveraging retargeting enough---low hanging fruit left to rot on vine
