The Challenge

Sea Island, an exceptional destination fueled by heartfelt hospitality since 1928 and the only resort in the world to achieve four Forbes Five Stars 14 years in a row, invested in enhancements to one of it's properties, The Lodge at Sea Island. These enhancements included room renovations, six new guest cottages, an oceanfront pool, the introduction to The Driftwood Course (an 18-hole putting course), and a new 17,000-square-foot Golf Performance Center. The goal was to increase bookings and revenue of both new and past guests following its completion.

The Process

As the marketing manager on the account, I used the following strategies to meet the client's goals:



  1. Key audiences of past and new customers: utilizing first-party data CRM lists of past Lodge guests, lookalike audiences, and in-market/ affinity audiences of travel enthusiasts with a top 20% household income.
  2. Full funnel digital strategy: reaching our key audiences across search, social, native & video.
  3. Messaging call-to-action tailored to the audience: focusing on "Return to The Lodge at Sea Island" for past guests and "Book Your Stay at The Lodge at Sea Island" to new guests.

The Solution

The campaign drove an +85% increase in revenue and +81% increase in call to book rate, and ROAS remained flat despite scaled efforts on an +84% increase in spend year over year.

On One Studios

The Challenge of of Startup Growth

What’s good for the user is good for search. The biggest challenge of the SEO audit for On One Studios (and all companies) is maintaining a customer-focused approach when optimizing.

Every action in the audit must answer the question: how does this help the user on your website? Each tweak needed to embody the core drive of the company.

We came up with a human-centric SEO strategy to guide my approach. The web audit was designed to address three critical issues:

Understanding the company’s core value proposition and drive.

Great tactics mean nothing without a proper guiding strategy. Before I started any optimization, I spoke with management on what constituted the company’s core drives. By understanding their unique selling proposition, I could write copy that reflected their goals.

Addressing website architecture problems with user-centric best practices.

The website needed to make sense to customers. From URL structure to homepage navigation, I needed to make sure each click on the website made it easy to get to a sale.

Identify competitor SEO strategies to implement off-page SEO tactics.

A key pillar of getting a site to rank is the number of backlinks pointing to it. I needed to create a comprehensive, white hat backlink strategy to boost the site’s domain authority. By looking at who our competitors were linked (and linking to), I got a sense of the types of backlinks I was looking for.
