The challenge with this client was to scale the media spend whilst maintaining a ROAS above 12X.

As a U.S. based company WardJet was looking to increase their sales of large, production grade, industrial waterjet cutting machines across Canada. Though they were scaling a significant budget to their campaigns, the conversion rates remained less than 1% and inbound MQL’s (marketing qualified leads) were not increasing proportionately.

Zest Dental is one of the largest dental implant manufacturers in the U.S. Their primary audiences are Dentists at offices across the country who perform surgery with dental implants. Some challenges I faced were

• The client is a leader in the space which makes new customer acquisition strategies/expansion more difficult 
• They had no great offers to use in their campaigns 
• Sophisticated B2B audience
• Brand loyalty to competitors in the market

The strategy

I began by leveraging the client’s existing data and Google’s machine learning algorithm to ensure that we’re targeting users most likely to convert. The goal was to feed the algorithm with the best data possible so we could go after new customers searching for non-branded terms.

After sufficiently utilizing campaign structures to segment the customer journey map in Google Ads, I began a substantial increase in ad spend to scale this account while maintaining an optimal ROAS.

Once we established a great search ads structure, we began to move higher in the funnel utilizing Google display, discovery and video campaigns for new customer acquisition.

When it comes to advertising on social, its very challenging, since products are cheap. This made it difficult to make it profitable with ads when targeting directly to individuals (B2C) instead of business owners (B2B). They are more profitable when they get bulk orders from businesses or organizations. Targeting a cold audience on Facebook/Instagram was challenging to stay profitable at scale.
