Follett was struggling to achieve high-value keyword rank performance within the search engines as well as deliver on incremental organic traffic to boost online sales of books, textbooks and consumables to consumers. The challenge I faced was to analyze current SEO performance and execute various SEO tactics and tasks to improve keyword rank, organic traffic and eComm sales.

The client wanted to work with top portrait photographers for their new phone campaign. This was to position themselves as the top camera phone in the industry. They had very particular requirements on the chosen photographer so finding the right person was the first challenge. The second was managing the high profile talent and the client to achieve an outcome with the content that both parties were happy with. The timeline was extremely tight, particularly for such a high profile photographer with a busy schedule. Their target was to get high PR attention.

The budget included 3 other smaller but well known photographers who also created content around the same theme. We also had a gifting portion of the campaign where I sent the phones to small semi-professional photographers to create their own portraits. This was all to create buzz in the photography industry. This all had to be done beginning to end in about a month which is very tight.

The British International School of Houston is a premium private K-12 located in one of Houston's suburbs. Because of its location away from the center of wealth, Houston's heavy traffic, and it's location in a suburb away from main roads or highways, BIS Houston was known as one of Houston's best kept secrets but had reached a plateau in its growth. In addition, as a premium private school, BIS Houston also has 2 or 3 competitors that are located closer to the center of wealth within Houston that have comparable tuition rates (averaging $24,000/year per child).

This was a new client that had never run paid ads before on social.
