Reversed

Annual revenue peaked at $27 million under our management with consistent month-over-month growth and strong ROAS. After the switch, revenue plummeted $9 million in a single year.

The Uncomfortable Truth

This case study demonstrates the critical importance of choosing the right PPC management partner. The expertise, strategy, and attention to detail that a quality agency brings can mean the difference between continued growth and significant revenue loss.

Key Learnings

Main Driver of Change

Consistent, strategic PPC management was the differentiator. The same brand, same products, same market, produced $9M more annually with the right partner. The only variable that changed was who managed the ads.

What's Next

This case serves as a permanent warning for any brand considering switching PPC partners to save on fees. The $9M revenue drop dwarfs any management cost savings, and recovery from this kind of decline is never guaranteed.
