By selecting a better quality influencer and negotiating £3,000 off their £8,000 budget (would have been £11,000) I reduced their CPC YoY by 82% and increased their sales by 37%. This led to planning the same campaign next year as the client felt more confident in Influencer Marketing.
Ryman, the stationery retailer, wanted to run a Back to School/Uni campaign but wanted to improve on the previous year results which was planned by an influencer agency. They were measuring sales but their target was also awareness.
I led, ran and executed this campaign from strategy through to reporting at the end. Firstly, in influencer selection I focused on relevant student YouTubers that had high view rates on their videos as well as high % of comments. This meant that I knew that their audience was engaged and more likely to take action. Secondly, when outreaching I negotiated to ensure their rates would give us the most effective KPIs possible.

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.
