My engagement with Rainier began with a site audit for the Outdoor division. It has since grown to a comprehensive marketing partnership across Shade, Outdoor and Industrial. The goal of the initial audit was to identify as many opportunities for UX and SEO improvement as possible that the internal team could handle implementation for without incurring additional costs.

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.

Client was having issues driving traffic to their website and having users contact them for their services. No way to measure traffic and engagement.

BeachCult, a vibrant, elegant, swimwear and apparel brand needed an online presence to match. I loved working with this client to design and develop their online store with a look and feel that is in line with their brand image and appeals to their audience.
