Campaign Success Stories

Throughout my career, I've executed numerous successful digital marketing campaigns across various industries, consistently delivering measurable results that exceed client expectations. Below are some of my most impactful campaign case studies.

Data Science Course Turnaround

Google Ads Keyword Strategy Retargeting

Achieved 12 sales (target: 5-6) for a high-ticket Data Science course ($40k) that previously generated only 1-2 sales

After analyzing past performance data broken down to weekly and daily patterns, I identified that targeting was limited to data science and AI keywords. Expanded targeting to include AI, Data Science, Data Analytics, Python, and Machine Learning categories, capturing a broader but still relevant audience. Combined with a strategic 5% discount for retargeting, this approach dramatically improved conversion rates.
