Our Latest Projects

New Leads for a Conference
We had a client that was a well known recruiter who needed to make connections before a conference. Zo Digital put their certified Adwords knowledge to work, running ad campaigns on Google Adwords and LinkedIn, and tracking results in Google Analytics. The result? Leads were generated globally before the conference started in Tokyo. Our client was able to make connections, and meet clients face when they arrived from abroad.

Global PPC Ad Campaign
We had a Tokyo based global eCommerce company come to us. They wanted more sales for the year end holiday selling season. In limited time, we set them up with Google Adwords Search Campaigns for each of their product verticals, then tied everything together with Analytics. Furthermore, we pointed out they were missing a big opportunity with FaceBook advertising. As a result, our client was able to increase sales just in time for the holiday rush.

New Web Site in a Weekend
We had a client who's website was down, and in disrepair. They needed a new website as fast as possible, and Zo Digital was up to the task. First, we coached our client to avoid pitfalls many web designers have, and focused only on the elements that generate conversions. Then we delivered a high performance website over a 3 day weekend. Using the new web site, our client was able to acquire new customers beginning the following week.

Find Students for a Dance Studio
A dance studio in New Hampshire (USA) needed more students for their classes. Zo Digital put together a package of Google Search, Facebook advertising, combined with our own custom Landing Pages aimed at perspective dance students. Over time, we optimized their campaign to focus on the customers who have the best ROI. The result was 20 - 26 leads generated each month via signups and direct phone calls.
