Big R is now an online only retail store that sells everything from kids toys to hardware to camping, sporting/outdoor gear, clothing, accessories, and more. I specifically worked on the brand for about a year to take them through a brand refresh, develop a 6-month marketing strategy and to launch a couple new products within the children's toys and video games categories.
Big R requested a full-service marketing strategy to increase brand awareness, increase market share in the industry, and achieve a ROAS of at least +750%. I created a 6-month marketing strategy to run starting in November 2018 through May 2019. I created a strategy that included the following components: paid social ads via Facebook, Instagram + Twitter, paid search via Google ads, an email marketing automation campaign to increase subscribers and to nurture current customers further down the purchasing funnel, programmatic display ads, mobile marketing SMS offers for in-store customers, online promotions and more. The media plan had to be smart, budget conscious & strategic. The budget was $20,000.

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.
