Case Study: Breeo Firepits

Smoking hot digital growth (minus smoke)

Challenge

Unlock DTC growth

Breeo pioneered the first smokeless wood-burning fire pit over a decade ago. Sparked by this breakthrough, Breeo expanded its product line to bring outdoor-lovers and barbecuers the ā€˜ultimate campfire experience.ā€™

Scope & Goals

Breeo partnered with our core team to cook up a digital marketing strategy to build awareness and drive sales. In less than a year, we used digital ads and analytics to help Breeo torch even its most ambitious goals. Results were 5x better than best case projections, and annual revenue targets were surpassed in a single month!

Flexible ad budget ignites quick ramp-up

Breeo sensed big growth opportunities. Our team helped quantify them by gauging the relevant online search, shopping, social media, and competitor traffic ā€“ and calculating what itā€™d cost to reach those customers.

Our Solution

We proposed a flexible advertising budget to accelerate growth. Rather than a fixed monthly cap, focus on the return on ad spend (ROAS). If campaigns exceed expectations, why leave untapped growth smoldering? Breeo agreed, and positive initial tests led to a lightning-fast ramp-up.

Accelerated growth

Minimized risk

Omni-channel ad campaigns more than double ROI targets

Using in-platform data in isolation can lead to ā€˜blind spotsā€™ and the double counting of attributed revenue.

Our Solution

Instead, we tracked user journeys with advanced analytics to learn how multiple ad platforms intersect. This gave us the ability to attribute ad-driven revenue more accurately and calculate ROAS with greater clarity. In return, Breeo gave our team the freedom to choose advertising platforms, content, and budgets to maximize growth.

Key Benefits
  • Flexibility to test-and-learn
  • Clarity on the buying journey
  • Accurate channel attribution

Right traffic + website performance = skyrocketing revenue

As traffic ramped up, opportunities for improving the buying journey on the website were exposed.

Our Solution

To ensure all this new traffic didnā€™t go up in flames, our team helped Breeo improve website performance with conversion rate optimization, SEO, and other UX fixes. The result? Conversion rates increased 176%, doubly impressive given the scale of awareness-generation efforts, which drove many ā€˜coldā€™ prospects to Breeoā€™s site.

Key Benefits
  • 176% conversion rate increase

Results: 20x online revenue growth

Our efforts filled Breeoā€™s sales funnel with new prospects that werenā€™t being reached before. As awareness grew via social media, it also drove more free branded search traffic ā€“ a 20x increase in people looking for Breeoā€™s products.
