Looking at more than just technical requirements to change the game

Kumon is the largest provider of after-school education globally. It had previously engaged a large global agency to develop and execute a digital marketing strategy but were experiencing several issues. It needed a trusted digital marketing partner that could deliver meaningful and measurable results that included increasing lead quality and decreasing cost per lead.

Approach

Enter Higher Ranking

Kumon was looking for a more responsive partner – one that understood its goals and an agency it could develop a deep long-term relationship with.

Conduct a situation analysis

We listened to the client’s objectives and pain points prior to devising a new SEO strategy.

Eye
Rethink Google Ad campaigns

We recommended rebuilding existing campaigns to increase the number of leads per dollar spent.

Target
Nudge potential customers

We set up Google Display Network (GDN) remarketing ads to broaden Kumon’s digital footprint.

Challenge

Business expertise a key to success

Kumon had experienced a range of failures in its relationship with its agency. Problems included:

  • No effort to test, learn and improve
  • No transparency about its high management fees
  • No bottom-line sales even though the metrics seemed good
  • No access to its own Google Ads account
  • No continuity with account managers

When Higher Ranking came along, not only did we research, plan, and deliver the results that Kumon was looking for – we rebuilt trust through a clear strategy and asking the right questions to build a deep understanding of the business.
