Approach

  • Used Marin BI Connect to seamlessly export data into Google Data Studio.
  • Ran a bidding test to confirm that MarinOne Bidding would improve performance of their LinkedIn campaigns.
  • Increased conversion rate while decreasing cost per engagement with MarinOne Bidding.

Solution

Data is the foundation of excellence in any digital marketing program, so Blast Analytics began by connecting their LinkedIn data to their Google Data Studio dashboard using Marin’s BI Connect. The setup was simple and the full details of the LinkedIn campaigns were automatically updated and available in their consolidated reports.

The next step for the team was to run a bidding trial to clearly measure the impact of MarinOne Bidding on the performance of their campaign. For the test, they selected a campaign that was focused on generating conversions for an online course, targeting 1st party audiences. After setting the target cost per conversion, Marin’s advanced machine learning took over, calculating bids and almost immediately improving the results of the campaign.
