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.

As head of PPC my goal was to bring qualified buyers to the company. Powtoon offers a Saas that allows people to create videos. It's a freemium model, where people can sign up for a free trial, so they can test the platform and after 3 days trial decide if they want to purchase one of the available plans.

My goal was to bring people that will purchase the yearly pro plus plan, as this is the most profitable for the company in the long run.

The challenges were to target people who actually need the product and not people who occasionally use it.

The best users are Freelancers, graphic designers who want to add video to their arsenal and don't want to learn complex software like Adobe Premiere, etc.

Good target market is also companies that want to use video to simplify their messaging.

Start-up bridal industry trying to break-into a stuffy, non-dynamic industry owned by a couple of heavy hitters

• client was a small fish in a big pond not getting attention or focus from their agency, but paying the premium to hire them
• campaigns were not being executed properly, and not a lot of optimization was happening on a weekly basis
• campaigns were structed in ways that kept creative and campaigns in learning phase for too long, which didn't help performance
• not leveraging retargeting enough---low hanging fruit left to rot on vine
