Challenges
- Post-COVID, people are inclined towards online courses and classes.
- Their previous ad costs were extremely high compared to his ad costs pre-COVID.
- The biggest challenge was that none were converted even after acquiring high-cost leads.
- Limited Facebook reaches due to location targeting.
- Moreover, they needed to get organic leads from their social media efforts.
WHAT WE DID IN PAID ADVERTISING
Challenge - Limited reach
Solution - CMM used pin codes for location targetting and never tried using location targeting by diameter. So, we targeted the whole of Mumbai, which increased ad reach, and the number of leads increased directly.
Challenge - Poor quality leads
Solution - The previous advertiser used makeup brands and self-make-up tutorials in interest-based targeting. Thus, it led to targeting people who wanted to learn about makeup for themselves only. On the other hand, in interest-based targeting, we target professional makeup artist tool developers and professional makeup artists. This led to building an audience that wanted to learn makeup to start their makeup practice.

WHAT WE DID IN ORGANIC MARKETING
Despite having a large audience, Mr. Cherag could not monetize it as he was getting zero organic leads even after trying hard. His content needed to be more educational to push the audience through the funnel.
Organic Leads
We did intensive market research and found out what kind of content attracts the audience. We produced enough content to be distributed for around 45 days in one week, which was published rigorously. It led to daily organic engagement and SQL leads.
