    paper Case Studies
    We’ve helped service-based businesses, digital product creators, and national brands generate real, measurable results through smart digital marketing and lead generation strategies. For example, we built and launched a nurture funnel that generated $125K in course revenue and $500K in software sales in just one campaign. We helped a subject matter expert validate and monetize a new offer in 60 days, achieving a 4.2% conversion rate and 3× ROAS on a small ad budget. We ran a national Meta campaign for an international wine brand that reached 2.5M+ people with clicks under $0.30, and doubled monthly leads for a pool and landscaping company while growing site traffic by 220% in six months. Our SEO and content marketing work has also led to dramatic visibility boosts — like +510 keyword rankings for a law firm and +35% traffic growth in just 30 days for a B2C brand.
