In my previous role as Head of EMEA Social Media & Content at Google, my mission was to create a high-functioning content and social media capability within the region and to equip PR and marketing leads from around the world to create winning holistic campaigns with confidence. My focus was to apply region-wide and country specific social media strategies to tentpole moments and create and scale resources for over 35 country teams.

Kristi Hyson's #1 goal was to increase the quality of her leads. In a highly competitive real estate marketing, Kristi Hyson knew that their current service provider was not providing the quality of leads she knew could be attained from Google Ads. She wanted to see a more engaged user by way of a higher click-through rate (CTR), a decrease in her CPC (cost-per-click) and an increase in conversions along with the conversion rate.

Client runs a $100 million/year B2B ecommerce brand (owned by Berkshire Hathaway) selling raw product and manufacturing supplies to jewelry designers. They were always scared of launching with paid ads, as their previous experiences were that they just reached their existing customers; who would have purchased anyways.

This company is relatively new, and generally their services are ones that people look for specifically on google, rather than show interest through social media. Their Google ads were doing well, and scaling, and therefore I was being tested as they were hesitant to go on Facebook ads.
