Carbon Chain

ROAST’s task was to ensure that CarbonChain were visible to those businesses searching for these solutions. As the critical starting point for researchers, ensuring that the brand was optimised for Google was the paramount task.

Audience research allowed us to understand both the research and the buying journey. This ensured we were focusing on those search terms that would deliver marketing qualified leads for the sales team to follow-up. An extensive competitor review also established what the competition were focused on, what we could learn from that as well as the gaps that would indicate opportunities for us to exploit. Ultimately, we took an integrated approach to performance marketing, focusing on both health and growth tactics:

Health

Growth
