The 6-month media plan resulted in very positive results for the company. With only $20K in media spend, Big R received over +900% ROAS in the first 8 weeks of launch, eventually surpassing a ROAS goal of +1200% ROAS over 6 months. The detailed marketing plan I researched + created proved to be very successful since it was created with content specifically curated to each marketing platform. The strategy included content specific to Facebook versus Instagram versus Email to ensure we were targeting the right marketing message to the consumer. With multiple ad platforms and growth strategies, Big R was able to surpass multiple revenue goals for the year in just under 6 months.

The Challenge

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.

The Process

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.

ROAS

Fillyboo

The customer's main challenge was not being able to deliver a profitable ROAS on Facebook and Instagram, despite their core audiences being present there, especially on Instagram. There was a lot of engagement that did not result in sales.


Their ROAS was stuck at around 50% (0.5 : 1).


Of note, the Northern Hemisphere was heading into spring, which is their busiest time, with 90% of their sales coming from the US, Europe and the Middle East, so it was important to see results very quickly.

Bloc Shop

With the pandemic striking, Bloc Shop, one of Quebec's main climbing spots, had to diversify. Their in-person boutique had a lot of choices, as their climbing shoes offering is one of the best in Canada. However, their online store was not generating a lot of conversions.


They came to us for Google, Facebook and Instagram Ads.

With this, we have a built a reputation of one of the most caring hearing aid companies in the world, changing thousands of lives. Our over 300 5-star reviews show that and it's one of our greatest achievements.
