Animated Storyboards
Improving lead generation and cost efficiency across digital channels for a market leading brand.
Challenges
Animated Storyboards (ASB), a leader in animatics and storyboarding, faced the challenge of increasing online visibility in a competitive market while improving lead generation and cost efficiency across digital channels.
Their PPC efforts required optimization to focus on high-quality traffic, SEO needed enhancements to improve rankings and engagement, and email marketing strategies needed refinement to maintain strong inbox placement and drive conversions.
Strategy
To address these challenges, we deployed a multi-channel strategy incorporating SEO, PPC, and email marketing to enhance ASB’s digital footprint and improve lead acquisition.
SEO Strategy
We implemented a tailored SEO approach to improve keyword rankings, drive organic traffic, and enhance user experience. Extensive keyword research identified high-value, long-tail search terms relevant to ASB’s niche.
Content was optimized across titles, meta descriptions, and service pages to improve rankings. A content strategy introduced educational resources, such as guides on concept testing and cinematic processes, to establish ASB as an industry authority.
Technical improvements, including enhanced site speed and structured data, ensured search engine best practices were met. Performance tracking enabled ongoing refinements to maximize results.
PPC Strategy
We refined ASB’s PPC campaigns by prioritizing high-quality, non-branded search traffic over lower-performing display campaigns. This approach ensured budget efficiency and higher conversion rates by focusing on search users actively seeking animatics and storyboarding services.
Demand Generation campaigns were also leveraged to enhance brand awareness among qualified audiences.
Email Marketing Strategy
To improve email engagement and lead generation, we conducted in-depth A/B and seed testing to diagnose deliverability issues, implemented domain rotation for improved inbox placement, and introduced bot filtering for cleaner analytics.
A resend strategy using segmented lists improved engagement, while a strategically timed pop-up form captured high-intent leads, enabling rapid follow-ups by the ASB team.
