Exponential revenue growth fueled by customer data analysis.

The ask.

biBERK, a small business insurance startup from Berkshire Hathaway and six-year agency partner, was seeking consistent, profitable growth using digital marketing.

The truth.

The market for online insurance was divided between other new, online players and well-established household names. Looking at the landscape, we determined the only way to grow as quickly and efficiently as possible was through smart targeting mixed with relevant messaging.

The solution.

At the beginning of our partnership, we knew that better data and customer insights would be key to finding the right pockets for growth. So, we immediately implemented advanced Google Analytics. We also collaborated with biBERK’s actuarial team to identify which users were converting, and from where, so we could evaluate the real ROI of their marketing spend. With baseline ROI data in place, we turned our attention to growth. Through a combination of hyper-focused, best-in-class search strategies (including a full account restructure, dayparting and smart budgeting), we put biBERK on the path to success.

Regular monitoring and optimization is key to any direct response effort. The real-time internal dashboards we developed helped us with monthly trend assessments, long-term goal-setting and detailed action plans.

With all the pieces of our strategy in place, we saw an immediate jump in lead growth. In the years since, we’ve turned our focus to increasing lead quantity and quality. We and our partners at Google have continued to support biBERK’s campaigns with new approaches, including target CPA, keyword parity, RSAs and value-based bidding strategies.

“E&S quickly figured out how to reach our customers more effectively and bring our vision to life. Their expertise laid the groundwork for substantial revenue growth.”
