The Opportunity

We sought to explore innovative ways to acquire more leads from larger organizations.

The Plan

We recommended allocating a secondary budget specifically to experiment with targeted campaigns for larger companies. However, the client opted to adjust their budget, overlooking our advice.

The Results

Within 60 days of this change, the campaign experienced a dramatic 77% reduction in overall clicks, coupled with a staggering 400% increase in CPC, while new client sign-ups plummeted by 40%.
