Challenge

This national client offers nontraditional financing solutions in addition to traditional debt consolidation services. Forward Media was challenged to bring in more high-quality leads and improve the results of the digital campaigns.

Each year, the client manages more than $500MM in annual lending between clients and businesses they work with on a daily basis. Forward Media has worked with this client, based on the West Coast, since 2016. The major challenge with this client was to ultimately outperform their previous digital media marketing agency. The client wanted to see results and to drive more qualified leads to their company and the services they provide.

Solution

Forward Media took the time to analyze previous digital marketing campaigns, channels, and results.

We also studied past targeting and forms of measurement that were used to track and monitor incoming data. Forward Media then developed a new and improved system and strategy designed to obtain leads that were even more optimized than in the past. We then implemented tools for continued optimization and analysis with each new campaign, while also providing the option to scale while expanding.
