Marinanow offers users a seamless online platform to book from a vast selection of over 10,000 boats and berths across 1,300 breathtaking destinations in the Mediterranean Sea. Their commitment to providing exceptional booking experiences sets them apart in the travel marketplace industry.
Marinanow approached us with a clear objective: to expand their sales globally. They sought our expertise to drive business growth, enhance international brand visibility, and generate more bookings in strategic locations. Our challenge was to deliver effective marketing solutions that would attract a wider audience and increase conversions.
To address the scale and complexity of promoting hundreds of destinations worldwide, we developed a highly granular, data-driven campaign structure supported by advanced tracking and reporting tools.
1. Campaign Structuring & Keyword Strategy
We designed and implemented a multi-layered campaign setup capable of delivering relevant ads across multiple languages and markets:
Hyper-Granular Campaign Framework: Built a set of campaigns covering 300+ destinations across four languages, ensuring local relevance and message consistency.
Keyword Expansion: Conducted extensive keyword research to identify high-intent queries, resulting in 8,000+ targeted keywords strategically mapped to each destination.
Localized Ad Copy: Crafted ad variations in multiple languages to maximize engagement and improve Quality Score through linguistic and cultural alignment.
2. Advanced Tracking & Reporting
To ensure full visibility and precise performance measurement, we implemented a robust analytics framework:
Custom Tracking via GTM: Deployed a custom Google Analytics setup through Google Tag Manager, ensuring accurate event and conversion tracking across languages and destinations.
Real-Time Data Visualization: Developed a custom Google Data Studio dashboard to monitor performance in real time, enabling quick optimization decisions and transparent reporting.
This meticulous approach ensured that every destination was supported by localized, data-validated campaigns – allowing for scalable performance monitoring and ongoing optimization across global markets.
The results surpassed expectations. During the peak season, Marinanow experienced an extraordinary 57% growth in overall US traffic compared to the previous year. This surge in website visitors translated into an impressive 58% increase in online bookings from strategic locations. The success of our strategic marketing initiatives propelled the brand to new heights.
PPC MANAGEMENT: Leveraging the power of Google Ads search, display, and retargeting campaigns to maximize reach and generate targeted traffic.
WEB ANALYTICS: Crafting a comprehensive business analytics strategy, implementing a robust measurement plan, optimizing Google Tag Manager (GTM) integration, and creating a custom Google Data Studio dashboard for actionable insights.
We are delighted with the results. Again, this year, Midsummer has been a great help for us. The team supported us in reaching our business goals, going far beyond expectations.
Ecommerce plus physical stores? B2B and B2C under one roof? One market or eleven? The businesses other agencies find too complex are the ones we make shine.
