Drumeo is the world’s biggest online drum education platform. You might know them from their world-class drum videos, supportive community, or our awesome Drumeo Coaches. They have thousands of tracks to play along to, exclusive song-learning tools, and dozens of Netflix-style drumming shows to educate and entertain. That’s Drumeo.
Drumeo has been running ads on Meta & Google for almost two decades. This resulted in some bloat across their multiple ad accounts, and advertising account structure that was outdated, hindering results.
Drumeo deploys an ad strategy consisting of lead generation, direct-trials, and frequent promotion campaigns. In order to improve efficiency & better allocate budget, a better understanding of the lifetime ROI across the funnel & a set budget was needed.
Even though Drumeo had mountains of historical data, a fresh start to split-testing was due to improve their ad results further.
To combat the overcomplexity of the ad accounts, we merged multiple ad accounts, and multiple separate campaigns together. The result was improved ad efficiency across all campaigns by giving Facebook & Google grouped budgets to maximize our results automatically. We also leveraged a new campaign structure, broader ad set targeting, top performing ad engagement to increase results from day one.
Working with their internal team, we developed a clear media plan to plan, track, and better allocate budget across the entire year, broken down by month. We also worked with their team to understand the value-per-action of each of our lead generation campaigns, direct-to-trial campaigns, and promotions to allocate budget achieve the highest ROI across Facebook & Google.
The new account structure allowed us to be setup for success from day one, but our work was just starting. Through (often daily) testing & optimization of new targeting, ads, budgets, keywords, and more we were able to drive down our CPL (cost per lead) and CPT (Cost per trial) consistently. This allowed us to experiment with aggressively scaling up our budget until we reached decreasing efficiency.
