VideoSmile — a school of remote professions

VideoSmile school of remote digital professions

About

A school of modern remote professions: design, graphics, code, websites. Over 500K subscribers on YouTube and other channels. A large loyal audience.

Task

Build a promotion system for the products and raise the profitability of each direction through the sales funnel.

The VideoSmile team first came for a consultation, but after we talked they decided to shake hands and work together. We analysed the audience types and put together a CJM file with strategic analysis on top. There was plenty of input data and room to research the current client inside the products.

The core problem is that there is a lot of audience but few sales — the potential is not used, because there is no clear funnel guiding the client inside the product.

For direct marketing you have to understand why the person came. Any ad and any funnel is a conversation between a seller and a buyer. You need to know well who you are talking to and what your audience wants.

From the databases built through custdev we can predict the triggers for advertising better. Marketing is not templates. It is always care for the client. And a bit of rock and roll.

Then we lay out the automated funnel the client walks from the first meeting to the purchase. Each segment gets its own branch, tied in the CRM to contacts and payments.

Out of the funnels we pull the key meanings and sew them into 3 elements: the offer, the headline and the creative. That is what has to run as a leitmotif through the whole product.
