Client wanted to both scale revenue and spend more. So I have been balancing spending more while increasing the budget.

Maybank is among the top 5 banks in South East Asia with total assets of USD165 billion. It has an international network of over 2,400 branches and offices in 20 countries and employs 45,000 employees.

• Provide the latest marketing strategies and work closely with agencies (IPG, Initiative, Dream Team, etc.)
• Products covered: Western Union, Visa Direct, FTT, Balance Transfer, EzyPay, eFD, EzyCash, Credit Card, Auto Finance, Mortgage, High Net Worth, SME, Virtual Banking, Funding and Deposit, Payment, etc.

Client has a long sales cycle on their products, as they are promotional product brands. This makes it challenging to measure the true ROI. A lead that does a quick chat could be worth thousands of dollars more than a $100 ecommerce sale. While ePromos had some rudimentary tracking in place to see the value per lead; they still didn't have true visibility or integration into their ad accounts to optimize towards process.

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.
