Summary

Tom was committed to ~$8k a month in traditional media spend with nothing to show for it in the CRM. Switching to a digital-first approach delivered comparable eyeballs on Connor James for roughly $100, and introduced tracking across the whole spend.

  1. 01

    Before

    Spending ~$8k a month on traditional media — with no way to connect that spend to an enquiry, a call, or a signed job.

  2. 02

    What we changed

    Moved the attention strategy to digital channels where the same reach cost a fraction of the price and every impression had a traceable path back to a response.

  3. 03

    After

    Comparable reach for ~$100 instead of ~$8,000. The more important shift: Tom can now see exactly what his spend is producing.

In their words

“I can now track what's coming back from my spend.”
