Market Research

In Marketing Research, I dive deep into data to identify key trends, customer needs, and competitive insights that shape effective marketing strategies. Through techniques like audience segmentation, competitive analysis, and market trend tracking, I gather actionable insights that guide campaign planning and product positioning.

I have used a variety of tools to gather research to help guide my marketing campaigns. 

I use Google Analytics to gain insights into website traffic, user behavior, and conversion funnels, providing essential data for audience segmentation and content optimization. With SEMrush or Ahrefs, I analyze competitor strategies, perform keyword research, and track backlinks to identify content gaps and improve search performance. SimilarWeb helps me understand competitor traffic sources and audience demographics, while BuzzSumo allows me to monitor popular content across platforms and identify key influencers. For customer feedback, I leverage tools like SurveyMonkey or Mailchimp Surveys to gather direct insights. 

For consumer behavior and trend analysis, Google Trends enables me to track keyword popularity and seasonal fluctuations, and Statista offers valuable industry data and consumer survey results. Additionally, Think with Google provides insights into emerging digital marketing trends. To monitor brand mentions and sentiment, I utilize Hootsuite Insights and  Sprout Social for social listening, and Brandwatch to track sentiment and brand health.

When it comes to on-site user behavior, Hotjar offers heatmaps, visitor recordings, and surveys, while Mixpanel is invaluable for tracking user interactions and retention. For in-depth market data, Facebook Audience Insights in Ads Manager helps me analyze audience demographics, interests, and behaviors to fine-tune targeting. 

But, these are the just the names of the tools and what they do. Anyone can write that down. Campaigns have different needs and companies find different tools more useful than others. There is crossover here with tools, for sure. For example, I would probably use SEMrush or Ahrefs for SEO work or checking backlinks, not to find a clean source of data to report back to stakeholders with when they ask what type of customers are viewing the website. However, by using all these tools, I do glean a fuller, and more holistic view of the brand and its various data pools. Most importantly, I think it is valuable to know what data you can find, where.

In Content Strategy, I develop structured plans that ensure every piece of content—whether web, social, or email—serves a clear purpose and speaks to the right audience. I focus on creating cohesive messaging, optimizing content for SEO, and using data insights to refine and target each asset.

PPC - Medical Research

Employing data-driven insights and strategic targeting, I orchestrated a comprehensive Google Ads campaign tailored to our business objectives.

The keywords and the audience are fairly niche since they are offering medical treatments and research opportunities. I dealt with ad saturation the entire time but was ablet to keep landing pages, copy, and creatives fresh by regularly monitoring user behavior via Google Analytics.

Through meticulous planning and continuous refinement, we achieved great results driving nearly 150,000 engagements on our advertisements with an average CPC of less than $0.40.
