Samsung operated in a highly competitive market for mobile phones. In Asia, there was always stiff competition with Chinese phone makers, and of course, Apple. For their flagship phones, it was necessary to stand out from the competition, with unique and highly visible formats in a cluttered, highly competitive environment, but it was even more important to approach the campaigns with a strong conquest approach.

Each campaign has its own challenges, but that is what makes it so fun! Figuring out which creators will optimize each campaigns return. The main challenge is to ensure both parties understand what they need!

The Challenge

Prior to working with Diogenes Solutions, the team at Gakken focused their efforts on Amazon Marketing with no Success usually just opting for automatic Amazon PPC campaigns that were costly and not profitable.

To position itself as a Top selling children’s book company, Gakken would have to prioritize targeted manual PPC campaigns. They would need to focus on ASIN targeting competitor products. Book targeting needs to be conservative in bidding and hyper targeted.

The Gakken team sought me out as the right person to take on the challenge.

The goal was to refine Gakkens PPC targeting with manual Selection, identify high-impact keywords, Categories and Products as well as display ads to fill topic gaps throughout the funnel, and ultimately, grow traffic and conversions.
