Shark Clean AU is the sister brand to Ninja Kitchen and they both faced similar challenges.

The brand was struggling to improve the ROAS of their online store above 300%, after getting a taste of 800 - 900% during the pandemic, when people being stuck at home all day every day was beneficial to a brand like theirs. The brand was already familiar to consumers who were used to seeing it at stores like Harvey Norman and Kmart, but now could no longer shop at those stores. Another challenge was not being able to offer discounts on their products deeper than the stockist retailer were offering.

The target ROAS was 500 - 600%. The channels they were using were Facebook/Instagram Ads and Google Ads. Facebook was an area of concern as they did not see consistent returns there, although the channel did very well during lockdowns.

Our partnership began as the company underwent a complete rebranding and repositioning. Formerly Sunshine Kids and well known in retail spaces for exceptional safety standards, Diono wanted to establish themselves as an international brand with its own ecommerce channel and a product line that expanded beyond car seats. With a small budget and strict pricing requirements, we drove growth of the Diono brand and digital footprint up to the point of acquisition in early 2018.

Clublender offers on-demand golf club rentals across the US delivered to you. They rent high-end clubs for avid golfers not wanting to go through the hassle of shipping their own clubs with them. We found one of our bigger challenges was people didn't know our product offering even existed. Shipping was also a major cost that had to be dealt with.

The Challenge

Prior to working with Diogenes Solutions, the team at Gakken focused their efforts on Amazon Marketing with no Success usually just opting for automatic Amazon PPC campaigns that were costly and not profitable.

To position itself as a Top selling children’s book company, Gakken would have to prioritize targeted manual PPC campaigns. They would need to focus on ASIN targeting competitor products. Book targeting needs to be conservative in bidding and hyper targeted.

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.
