ABOUT FREIGHT FARMS
Freight Farms is the global leader in vertical container farming with over 300 IoT-connected container farms operating in 25 countries and 44 US states. Following the launch of the company’s newest hydroponic container farm, The Greenery, Freight Farms sought a partner with the digital experience and know-how to develop an efficient acquisition program to fill the sales pipeline with qualified leads.
THE CHALLENGE
Freight Farms approached us to develop a new digital acquisition strategy with the following specific goals:
- Increase total lead volume through digital channels.
- Reduce cost per lead and improve efficiency of outbound spend.
- Drive brand awareness in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
- Enable a stronger understanding of digital performance, specifically what works, what doesn’t, and how operations can be improved.
- Generate data-driven insights that unlock opportunities for improvement and expansion across all digital channels.
THE SOLUTION
Following a multi-channel deep dive and audit of the industry, competition, and owned digital channels, a new acquisition strategy was developed and implemented with a focus on engagement, effective communication, and measurable business results. Specifically, the new approach included:
- Relaunching Paid Search campaigns with improved keyword groupings, ad units, and landing page destinations to improve conversion rates and reduce costs.
- Implementing reliable tracking protocols to enable precise campaign measurement, advanced reporting, and strategic insights.
- Integrating new content formats to better serve the needs of the target audience.
- Launching new top, mid, and low funnel campaigns on Facebook and Instagram to engage a new audience.
- Identifying new audience groups to target based on customer data, market opportunity, and available content to create new sales paths.
- Restructuring the messaging hierarchy across paid channels to more effectively communicate value.
