Existing challenges within the account limited their ability to test new prospecting strategies and limited their growth potential. For example, prior to our involvement, the majority of the budget was dedicated toward branded search campaigns, as many competitors were bidding on their branded terms in hopes to capture away TaxJar's most valuable traffic. Unfortunately, this fierce competition resulted in higher-than-expected costs and required much of the focus, energy, and budget.

Even after successfully freeing up budget from the branded search issues, profitably acquiring new business was no easy feat. Tax services are consumed on an as-needed basis. A brand awareness effort would only be effective if the messaging was powerful and the timing was perfect. That is, even if a business owner hears about TaxJar and thinks they should sign up for the services, it’s typically something that is pushed on the back-burner.

More than ever, if would be crucial to meet their potential customers when they are actively in the market for tax services and in the medium in which they would best respond to our messaging.

Launching a known German dermo-cosmetics brand in a new market, very high competition

When Andrea joined ANZ's online sales team, the home loans section of the website was unengaging and decreasing SEO effectiveness, on an out-of-date content management system that was ready for decommissioning.

The business desire was to migrate the website to Adobe Experience Manager and deploy a personalization test/learn program, starting with this redesign. 

The goals, therefore, were to:

• Increase relevance of the content during stages before and during the application process.
• Build new content modules to scale content and make authoring flexible for continuous experiments. 
• Increase organic traffic.
