We engaged Straight North to manage PPC campaigns for our e-commerce auto parts business, with the goal of improving paid search performance and driving more relevant website traffic. Their team focused on advertising spend strategies and worked to ensure we were satisfied with the service before the engagement ended. One area that could have been handled differently was the management structure. Having more direct involvement from the team managing our account would have made collaboration more efficient. We also felt that taking greater ownership of the creative side could have strengthened the overall campaign approach.
