Managed Budget: $200
Managed Channel: Google Ads, Google Display
Channel Type: Text/Remarketing

Strategy Devised:
1) The client wanted to start with a smaller budget of $50, so deciding to focus on customers with
a higher search intent was detrimental in utilizing google ads & google display to proceed.

market audiences was the key to succeed.

3) By focusing on the right strategy I was able to generate over 200+ clicks with a $50 budget
and this helped generate 10 new customers sign up for the tournament series.
4) Each customer sign up brings in $130 revenue for the business.
5) Ad copies created saw a Click Through rate of 11%, which indicates efficiency of ad copy
messaging & targeting settings applied.
6) The client just got back in touch saying they want to expand the marketing effort & increase
the budget. So based on the increased budget I am working on setting up a Instagram strategy
+ google ads to help the client increase event turnout from 20-30 to 40-60 members per event.
