It's a house hold name in a very competitive market, the client was trying to lift the perceived value of it's products in the eyes of the customers.

Puremix is an established brand in the music production industry, teaching new producers how to master, mix and manage records. The main problem that they were facing was that the cost per conversion was too high for them to manage profitability long term, and they needed someone to come in and drop the CPA.

Peter Pauper Press wanted to establish their own ecommerce presence without damaging the Amazon revenue stream they had already developed for their catalog of books, journals and stationery gifts. Finding the right audience and differentiating the product offering for searchers truly interested in premium paper goods were challenges I needed to overcome in order to deliver profitable campaigns.

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.
