Case Studies
Real Clients. Real Strategy. Real Results.
Every business is different — but the problems are often the same: wasted spend, unclear strategy, poor conversions, or just not knowing what’s working. These case studies show how I’ve helped clients across industries solve those problems with deep analysis, smart positioning, and action-first strategy. No fluff, no vanity metrics — just practical fixes that delivered measurable impact.
Replacing a Bloated Agency Strategy with a High-Impact Plan
The Situation:
My Property File, a home-buying service, approached me after receiving a marketing strategy from a well-known agency. The issue? The plan came with a staggering £97,000 management fee over 10 months, zero campaign projections, and no performance benchmarks for SEO or PPC. It was a glossy PDF — and nothing more.
What I Did:
-
Audited the existing plan line by line and exposed critical gaps — including the absence of traffic projections, conversion estimates, or proper budget justification.
-
Reverse-engineered a strategy from scratch, using real campaign performance data, industry CPC benchmarks, and funnel models.
-
Developed a leaner, smarter roadmap that retained all objectives but redistributed budget toward what would actually move the needle.
-
Delivered a forecast model with multiple budget tiers — including expected traffic, leads, CPL, and conversions across SEO and PPC.
-
Held stakeholder sessions to build internal alignment, demystify ad platforms, and arm the team with decision-making tools.
The Result:
✅ Strategy delivered at over £150,000 less than the original plan
✅ A forecast-driven, results-first roadmap tailored to the business model
✅ Total confidence restored in the marketing direction
✅ Clear monthly targets with realistic expectations and defined accountability
“Scott didn’t just save us money — he gave us a strategy we could finally trust. His clarity, depth, and no-nonsense approach put us back in control.”

Strategic Transformation for a Premium Fish Supplier
The Situation:
Marrfish was scaling fast — delivering high-quality, sustainably sourced fish directly to consumers and restaurants. They had traction but lacked a strategic engine. Efforts were fragmented: PPC was under-optimized, organic visibility was inconsistent, and customer acquisition costs were rising. There was no unified vision behind their marketing.
What I Did:
-
Conducted a full 360-degree digital audit, including keyword performance, ad funnel structure, email sequences, user behaviour analysis (via Hotjar), and heatmapping.
-
Rebuilt the customer journey from first touch to retention, using analytics and session recordings to identify friction points and bounce triggers.
-
Completely redesigned the campaign structure around audience segmentation, aligning ad messaging to product tiers and order values.
-
Introduced email flows based on behaviour: first-time buyer, returning customer, and cart abandonment, with tailored messages for each.
-
Led a cross-functional workshop to align internal ops and marketing with customer experience, highlighting logistics challenges that impacted conversion.
The Result:
✅ 48% drop in cost-per-conversion across priority PPC campaigns
✅ 3x increase in email-led repeat purchases
✅ Cut bounce rate by 22% with smarter landing page design and sequencing
✅ Shifted the business from reactive selling to data-led, customer-first marketing
“Scott saw opportunities none of us had noticed. He challenged our thinking, overhauled our structure, and built a strategy that now drives every part of the business.”

Medli Health — Finding Clarity in Complexity for a Health-Tech Platform
The Situation:
Medli Health, a digital platform serving healthcare professionals and patients, had a brilliant product — but a confusing message. Marketing efforts weren’t sticking. Multiple audiences. Regulatory complexity. No conversion clarity. Internally, the team was spinning its wheels and struggling to gain traction.
What I Did:
-
Conducted a full 360-degree digital audit, including keyword performance, ad funnel structure, email sequences, user behaviour analysis (via Hotjar), and heatmapping.
-
Rebuilt the customer journey from first touch to retention, using analytics and session recordings to identify friction points and bounce triggers.
-
Completely redesigned the campaign structure around audience segmentation, aligning ad messaging to product tiers and order values.
-

✅ Shifted the business from reactive selling to data-led, customer-first marketing

Crowleys of Suffolk — Building a Digital Presence From the Ground Up
The Situation:
Crowleys of Suffolk, a family-run brand with a rich heritage, wanted to modernise its marketing. Their digital presence was inconsistent, and they lacked a cohesive strategy for social or email. With limited internal marketing support and no clear system for driving online engagement, they needed a roadmap — fast.
What I Did:
-
Audited their existing digital assets and identified immediate visibility gaps
-
Developed a full social media and email marketing strategy from scratch
-
Introduced a brand voice and content calendar, aligned to seasonality and product cycles
-
Designed their first email automation flows (welcome, nurture, and sales-driven sequences)
-
Set up reporting systems to track open rates, click-throughs, and social engagement
The Result:
✅ 230% increase in email list size within 3 months
✅ Open rates regularly exceeding 35% — well above industry standard
✅ A consistent, on-brand presence across Facebook and Instagram
✅ Campaigns that moved real product, not just likes
“Scott helped us make sense of modern marketing. His strategy was practical, brand-aware, and genuinely increased our customer engagement — online and offline.”

Deep Analytics for a National Retail Client — Uncovering What Was Missed
The Situation:
A UK retail brand was investing heavily in paid media — across Google Ads, Facebook, and email — but couldn’t figure out why conversions were plateauing. Multiple agencies had tried to solve the issue with creative tweaks and bigger budgets, but results remained flat.
What I Did:
-
Gained full access to their analytics, CRM, and ad platforms
-
Performed a deep-dive user flow analysis, identifying exactly where people dropped off (including checkout friction points, landing page mismatches, and ad copy misalignment)
-
Conducted audience-level segmentation to pinpoint which customer groups delivered the highest value over time
-
Created a simplified funnel flow model that connected behaviour to intent — and showed them what no one else had spotted
-
Presented a strategy that reallocated 30% of spend to higher-ROI segments and re-sequenced their nurture journey
The Result:
✅ Increased ROAS by 46% in 6 weeks
✅ Identified a high-intent user group they had been ignoring entirely
✅ Reduced average drop-off at checkout by 28%
✅ Gave their internal team a new model for understanding performance
“Scott sees the data differently. His insights cut through the noise, and his clarity helped us finally move the needle.”

Building an SEO-Led Strategy in a Competitive Industry
The Situation:
Insured Life, an online life insurance comparison platform, was operating in one of the most saturated digital markets in the UK. Competing with household names and aggregator giants, they needed a content and SEO strategy that could cut through noise, gain visibility, and attract purchase-ready users — without a six-figure ad budget.
What I Did:
-
Carried out a deep competitor analysis, identifying content gaps and high-intent keyword opportunities their rivals were missing
-
Built a full SEO content roadmap prioritised by difficulty, CPC value, and search intent
-
Rewrote and optimised long-form articles for key insurance providers (e.g. MetLife, Zurich, Vitality) using structured data and NLP techniques
-
Integrated conversion-focused messaging within editorial content — turning traffic into leads, not just views
-
Designed a blog structure that matched Google’s E-E-A-T expectations and helped build long-term authority
The Result:
✅ 72% increase in organic traffic to provider-focused pages within 90 days
✅ Page 1 rankings for multiple mid-competition keywords (e.g. “[provider] life insurance UK”)
✅ Improved time on page and reduced bounce rates across informational content
✅ Created an SEO foundation that continues to compound with every new post
“Scott helped us compete with the biggest players in the space by doing what they weren’t — finding overlooked opportunities and building content that converts.”

Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service. Spoke to Daniel and he was so professional and knowledgeable which was reflected in the information he gave me. Detailed information I must add. I felt at ease throughout the call and never once did I feel I was being pressured to open a policy. It was my decision.
