Client Snapshot
The client is a $20M e-commerce company specializing in home and lifestyle products. With a lean marketing team of just five people, the company relied heavily on digital channels for revenue. The team struggled to keep up with the growing demands of content creation, campaign management, and performance analysis.
The Challenge
The marketing team was overwhelmed. They were expected to generate blogs, social media posts, email campaigns, and ads across multiple platforms. Content was often rushed, repetitive, and failed to capture audience attention. Campaign tracking relied on manual spreadsheets, which meant insights arrived too late to optimize spending.
Customer acquisition costs (CAC) began to climb while return on ad spend (ROAS) declined. Competitors with larger teams and bigger budgets gained ground. Burnout within the marketing department increased, and leadership worried the company was leaving significant revenue untapped.
The breaking point came when the company missed a seasonal sales opportunity because the team couldn’t launch a campaign on time.
The Solution
- AI-generated ad copy, blog drafts, and social media content aligned to brand voice.
- Automated campaign performance dashboards linked to HubSpot.
- Predictive insights to suggest the next best action for ongoing campaigns. •
- Rapid content scaling to keep pace with seasonal and promotional demands.
Implementation Journey
ECHO was rolled out in three agile sprints:
- Sprint 1 (Weeks 1–2): Ingested brand guidelines, style guides, and historical campaign data.
- Sprint 2 (Weeks 3–4): Automated content generation for blogs, ads, and email templates.
- Sprint 3 (Weeks 5–6): Integrated with HubSpot for campaign tracking, analytics, and next-best-action recommendations.
