Before: Challenges Faced by the Sports Brand

Despite a robust budget allocated to social media marketing, the sports brand encountered several roadblocks:

  1. Declining ROI: Their social media ad campaigns were burning through budgets without delivering meaningful returns.

  2. Lack of Targeted Audience: Their ads were too generic, failing to engage their ideal customer personas.

  3. Low Conversion Rates: While engagement metrics like impressions and likes were high, these did not translate into sales.

  4. Inefficient Campaign Management: The previous agency used a cookie-cutter approach, ignoring the unique needs of the brand and its audience.

  5. Outdated Strategies: Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok weren’t leveraged effectively for different stages of the sales funnel.
