Strategy & Execution
For the Gurus, success always starts with first understanding everything we can about our client — including their goals, competitors, industry landscape and more. This is why all of our campaigns start with a comprehensive audit. Only then do we formulate an evidence-based strategy that we can bank on working — AKA delivering a high-ROI for the long term.
The “set and forget” approach rarely works. Most campaigns usually take ~3 months to gain traction. After that point is when the real fun begins — because you’ll have enough data to start testing, trying, experimenting. Through ongoing optimisation, OMG has managed to radically increase the number of conversions, while decreasing the cost of acquiring customers.
Like every business responding to COVID-19, Gift Card Store was proactively looking for ways to pivot online. OMG came to the table with expertise and ideas, assisting Gift Card Store to knuckle down on the best revenue-generating campaigns — while even testing out new campaign ideas.
At the end of the day, the best results begin with looking beyond channel silos. We’ve helped Gift Card Store to achieve the next level of growth through engineering a multichannel strategy across SEO, Adwords and Google Shopping.
