Small start-up still mostly run by it's co-founders. Scrappy, smart and focused, my goal is to build top-line revenue and customers for the brand with a very small budget, so creativity is key.

The client has a SAAS company, the software is for ordering food without installing an app, it's all web based. The challenge was coming up with a paid media strategy that will ultimately get restaurant owners to schedule a demo to the software. It was a new software and they weren't sure if it will perform well in the market during COVID.

Late-stage funded startup in the greetings/invitations space. Experiencing non-brand traffic declines and down trends from organic search channel during Q4 of 2019 that reached as low as -37% YoY.

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.
