Background

Hornet Watersports approached us seeking a comprehensive digital marketing solution to revamp their online presence, increase website traffic, and boost sales. Recognizing the importance of a visually appealing and user-friendly website, they sought our expertise to redesign their existing site. Additionally, they aimed to leverage the power of Google Ads to drive targeted traffic to their website and expand their customer base.We also wrote and published informative and engaging blog posts related to water sports, as a valuable resource for their customers while simultaneously attracting organic traffic to their website. To further enhance their marketing efforts, they sought our assistance in creating compelling email content and implementing effective strategies for nurturing and driving conversions.

Hornet’s eCommerce sales have directly increased from the careful management of our paid ads by Uptown Cow. Google and social ad analytics are not my strong suit. Jacob has made it easy to lift these off my plate so I can focus on what I enjoy most, the visual creation of the ads. With his expertise, I can always trust that my content is in good hands and will reach the right eyes.
