The RootsTech conference is the largest genealogy conference in the world. For the first 10 years, the conference was held in Salt Lake City, UT as an in-person conference with only 40k attendees. When the pandemic hit, the challenge was how to take an in-person conference, make it virtual and expand the global footprint of the business.
As head of marketing for the event, I used three specific strategies to grow the event, both for the 2021 and 2022 virtual events.
In my first year as head of the event, we drove 1.5M participants worldwide. In my second year, I drove 21.2M participants worldwide.

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.
In 2020 I took on paid media, when I took over we were running traffic campaigns, we had not installed tracking on our menu site and couldn't run conversion campaigns. I first worked to set up proper tracking and pass that data to our facebook account. Next I built out a strategy and ran it past our CEO. In the next 3 months I took our roas from .5x to an average of 6x.
