The Challenge

Building a scalable sales & marketing platform for Blink

Coming off a great showing at the Consumer Electronics Show where the company was recognized with a 2016 Innovation Award, Blink had a fantastic problem on its hands: a website incapable of handling sky-high demand.

Blink had quickly outgrown its pre-sales platform and needed a more scalable ecommerce system. To build on the success of CES, the company also needed a cohesive digital marketing strategy to boost brand awareness, drive engagement, and increase sales.

The Solution

Powering Blink’s growth with an end-to-end marketing & ecommerce platform

We delivered an end-to-end digital marketing machine for Blink, encompassing everything from front-end design to ecommerce setup, ad campaigns to social media strategy. Leveraging user-generated content and PPC-powered social contests, we crafted a marketing plan that injected elements of fun and freshness into the otherwise serious home monitoring category.

Facing overwhelming demand for its revolutionary product, Blink’s pre-sales platform could no longer keep up. So the company turned to our development team, who designed and installed a highly customized Shopify ecommerce platform to power Blink’s business. In addition to backend improvements, the new system streamlined the checkout process, enhancing the customer experience and increasing conversion rates.

The Solution

Click, click, boom

In order to boost brand awareness in the crowded home monitoring market, We developed conversion-optimized ad copy and creative designed to differentiate Blink from the competition.

From keyword research to A/B testing, the entire campaign was data-driven and based on extensive customer research and personas.

The Result

Camera-ready content

Fueled by user-generated content provided by Blink’s enthusiastic early adopters, we designed and executed a social media strategy for customer acquisition and engagement. In addition to developing shareable, conversion-optimized content, we built highly engaging sweepstakes and promotions, delivered to targeted, high-value audiences via our paid media campaign.

Leveraging the segmented email lists grown by our PPC-powered social media campaigns, we developed actionable emails custom-tailored by customer type, product recommendations and more. Our team managed these email campaigns end-to-end, from compelling copywriting to on-brand imagery.

With custom ecommerce implementation, customer-centric design, and data-driven campaigns, we built a conversion-optimized, highly automated marketing machine — and gave Blink the kind of peace of mind it delivers to customers.
