Tell us how we can helpThe challenge
In 2016, seeing that their online marketing activities and multiple agency partnerships were becoming increasingly fragmented and harder to manage, HidKids came to Webprofits in search of a consolidated, integrated solution that could help them to scale.
After a comprehensive audit of HipKids’ agency structure, data/results, campaigns, and website, we identified a number of key issues we’d seek to fix, including:
THE APPROACH
The first thing we wanted to do was establish what success looked like for HipKids. After consulting with the team, we determined that the goal was to deliver YoY revenue growth of 15% while maintaining a 6x ROAS - whereby every dollar spent on advertising needed to deliver a return on advertising spend of at least $6 in revenue.
To negate the fragmentation issue, we created an internal growth team for HipKids with an appointed senior ecommerce specialist and a team of digital marketing experts whose experience covered every channel required to achieve success.
With one team, we built robust digital funnels and utilised every resource we created across all channels which maximised the ROI generated from our efforts.
The Webprofits HipKids growth team, providing the experience required to drive scale on the most important channels.
Our channel agnostic approach, allowed us to keep an open mind and find new opportunities beyond what was currently being done by asking “What else could we do and how could we do things even better?”.

THE impact
“In the past I've always been sceptical about dealing with digital marketing agencies but the proof is in the pudding. We currently have a team of marketing experts who actually communicate and are working towards the business goals we have and it's working really well. Our business has never grown like it has since we've had Webprofits on board.”
