The Simon Sinek team brought me on to help them ramp up their online course offering on Simon Sinek's "InspireU" (https://simonsinek.com/InspireU#/).

We needed to scale up the ad program across social ad platforms, identify the profitability of the paid program at large, and figure out a better methodology for advertising dozens of courses at scale.

Existing challenges within the account limited their ability to test new prospecting strategies and limited their growth potential. For example, prior to our involvement, the majority of the budget was dedicated toward branded search campaigns, as many competitors were bidding on their branded terms in hopes to capture away TaxJar's most valuable traffic. Unfortunately, this fierce competition resulted in higher-than-expected costs and required much of the focus, energy, and budget.

Even after successfully freeing up budget from the branded search issues, profitably acquiring new business was no easy feat. Tax services are consumed on an as-needed basis. A brand awareness effort would only be effective if the messaging was powerful and the timing was perfect. That is, even if a business owner hears about TaxJar and thinks they should sign up for the services, it’s typically something that is pushed on the back-burner.

More than ever, if would be crucial to meet their potential customers when they are actively in the market for tax services and in the medium in which they would best respond to our messaging.

RapNet is an online platform for diamond dealers and jewelers to trade with each other around the world. The biggest challenge we faced was not getting people signed up was getting people to use the platform to the fullest capabilities.
