Brand & Marketing Strategy

During an interactive workshop, BeBold fully immersed itself in their DNA and brand. We analyzed the target audience, deciphered what they truly desire in a brand, and simultaneously unraveled the trends and dynamics of the events industry. Armed with this valuable knowledge, we created detailed buyer personas and mapped out the entire customer journey. We critically examined the Appmiral website and their social media, allowing us to optimize and strengthen their online presence, resulting in an enhanced user experience. And last but not least: increased conversion power.

Search Engine Optimization

We gave their digital presence a boost by optimizing their website to rank higher in search engine result pages (SEO). Additionally, we implemented various CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) and UX (User Experience) optimizations to enhance their digital impact. Using recordings and heatmapping software, we delve into the minds of your users and pinpoint the exact areas for optimization. This way, we increase engagement and conversions.

Social Media Advertising

In addition to our organic efforts on Appmiral’s social media, we also delved into advertising, enabling us to specifically target certain regions, resulting in significantly higher ROI.

Data Dashboarding

At BeBold, we understand the power of data-driven marketing. That’s why we created visually appealing dashboards that centralized the marketing data of them. Customized to perfectly fit their business needs, Appmiral now has a holistic view and deep insights into their sales and marketing efforts at a glance.

Online Marketing & Marketing Automation

Our full-funnel approach naturally starts at the beginning: collecting prospects who are interested in requesting a demo of their app and guiding them through the sales funnel. Therefore, we began with a video marketing campaign to boost awareness about this demo. Through our personalized strategic approach, we not only reached our target audience worldwide but also tailored our always-on communication according to the region and season. We targeted prospects in the consideration phase of the funnel and guided them towards conversion. The marketing qualification process was optimized, enabling prospects to convert at every stage. The result? Hot leads effortlessly flowed into Appmiral’s marketing automation platform, allowing the sales team to provide personalized follow-ups.

Our main driver for success has always been a diversified and well-researched Google Ads campaign base. From day one, we’ve been focused on finetuning our messaging and optimizing our ads towards the most important conversions. Using a centralized data approach, we were able to effectively tweak all our global and local campaigns, always keeping track of seasonality, trends, and other marketing-relevant factors. (Let’s not give everything away, shall we?)
