Milwaukee School of Engineering was looking for ways to transform their admissions experience to be more engaging and connect with a generation that lives on social media. We worked together with the team at 7Summits to develop a rich, web- based application tool that is tightly woven into a community platform for prospective students. The online community creates a space where students, parents, and counselors can share resources and engage in conversation. It also serves as a launch pad to the admissions process. Candidates are able to work through the integrated application system. An online dashboard is available for students to follow their application through the process, review accomplishments, and learn next steps as they progress towards the big decision.

ROAS

Prairie Organic Vodka

The alcoholic and distillery industry is competitive now more than ever, and especially was at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Consumers are shopping the organic category more often and we are seeing continued trends of consumers looking for healthy, organic options for their family + friends. The organic space experienced significant growth in 2020 and 2021. The challenge for Prairie Organic Vodka was discovering a successful way to reach the right consumers at the right moment in time, and to educate them that Prairie Vodka is truly in the "organic" category.

Puremix

Puremix is an established brand in the music production industry, teaching new producers how to master, mix and manage records. The main problem that they were facing was that the cost per conversion was too high for them to manage profitability long term, and they needed someone to come in and drop the CPA.

Bellissimo Custom Hats

Bellissimo is one of our flagship clients as we like mutually like to say : we scaled together.


Their online store capped sales as their only traffic source was Facebook advertising for a sustainably long time. When we started working with Bellissimo in 2020, our team set up their email marketing infrastructure. Over the last 2 years we have expanded our ecosystem to include: Influencer Marketing (now collaborating with celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Floyd Mayweather and Jamie Foxx), text marketing, social media marketing, and a website revamp complete with hat customization tool.


Bellissimo now sees sustainable increase month over month. This year Bellissimo is seeing 160% more revenue than last year. 


Key achievements: 

• Influencer marketing strategy and partnerships facilitated in the fashion, sports and entertainment industry: Steve Aoki, Floyd Mayweather, Snoop Dogg Jamie Foxx, Mr. Mature

• 0 to 150k organic monthly impressions on Pinterest within 6 months

• 26k engaged Instagram followers

• created a targeted fan group and grew it to 1k members in one month, now at 3k members; the results have been overwhelming: group members share great content (ie. wearing the brand's products), this "feeding us content" which in return is bringing continuous growth; we also started to monetize the group and gain direct Shopify sales from group members

• Created an automated way to receive customer tags, photos and videos. Now, about 50% of our content is generated by other users which means we get extra reach and impressions without added effort.

Convo Communications

Convo was an interesting case because they have brand recognition in the market but their socials were quiet and under utilized.
