Award-winning lead generation on a global scale for IMSM

Using value-based bidding to drive sales qualified leads across markets

The challenge

International ISO consultancy IMSM brought us on board to increase Sales Qualified Leads across seven key markets. But the account lacked a clear strategy and with inconsistent data across its global markets, we needed to do far more than just execute an effective paid search campaign. This was all about layering complementary techniques to be able to deliver on their ambitious KPIs.

Our approach

Alongside restructuring campaigns to align with our newly defined strategy, we did a major rebuild of the Google Tag Manager containers to ensure reliable data (read more about the data work here). We then integrated with HubSpot to import offline conversions into the Ads platform, which opened the door to smart value-based bidding. That meant we could tweak and monitor campaigns to prioritise the conversions that were most likely to impact IMSM’s bottom line and drive the results that mattered.

The results

Increased SQLs

On top of increasing SQLs by 80% while decreasing cost per lead, sales more than doubled!

Gained confidence

By harnessing technology to bring clarity to campaigns with real-world data, we’ve given IMSM the confidence to re-enter markets they’d pulled back from, enter new ones, and double the number of markets we run paid media in.

Industry awards

And that’s not even mentioning the array of industry awards won along the way, including the Best Use of Data at the UK Paid Media Awards and UK Digital Growth Awards, Best Use of Search PPC (B2B) at the European Search Awards, and the Most Effective Use of Technology in a Search Campaign at The Drum Search Awards.

Working with Launch Online was the best decision we have made. They are everything they promised to be. Could not ask for a better agency to work with – and the lead quality has gone through the roof!
