Overview

A growing health tech company wanted to launch its first-ever paid ad campaigns to better understand its audience and build a foundation for scalable marketing.

Our partnership focused on more than just launching ads — it was about building clarity, strategy, and confidence. Together, we set up the ad infrastructure, established an intentional messaging and targeting approach, and empowered their internal team to confidently manage future campaigns.

Goals

  • Launch the company’s first Google and LinkedIn ad campaigns

  • Establish a scalable ad foundation for future growth

  • Drive qualified website traffic and early SQLs

  • Gather real insights on what messaging and audiences resonate most

  • Build internal capability so their team could manage ads going forward

Strategy

Because this was their first campaign, our approach centered on intentional experimentation and learning.

  • Focused on high-intent audiences within their target market.

  • Developed platform-specific strategies to balance awareness and lead potential.

  • Crafted messaging that addressed core pain points and highlighted clear value.

  • Built campaign structure designed to learn fast and optimize quickly.

  • Equipped their team with the knowledge to continue managing ads internally.

This approach ensured every dollar spent delivered both data and direction.

Execution

  • Set up and configured ad platforms from the ground up.

  • Designed campaign structure to support rapid testing and optimization.

  • Created targeted ad variations that spoke directly to the audience’s needs.

  • Established tracking and reporting to enable clear performance insights.

  • Partnered closely with their team for hands-on knowledge transfer.
