At the same time, its in-house marketing team lacked the expertise to manage an increasingly complex and growing media budget.<\/p>\n<p>Paid search campaigns were disorganized and underperforming. Attribution was unclear. The executive team had no confidence in spend efficiency, and visibility into ROI was nonexistent.<\/p>\n<p>Pattern brought in Austin Lawrence Group initially as a coaching resource\u2014but it quickly became clear that the challenges ran deeper. After diagnosing structural issues across PPC management, audience strategy, and reporting, ALG proposed a full takeover of the advertising program.<\/p>\n<h3>Our Approach<\/h3>\n<p>ALG began by rebuilding Pattern\u2019s digital advertising foundation\u2014starting with a full restructure of its Google Ads account. We quickly transitioned from \u201crescue mode\u201d to growth mode.<\/p>\n<p>We expanded Pattern\u2019s paid strategy beyond PPC into display, paid social, and direct buys (including Reddit), replacing lost referral traffic with a diversified and scalable media mix.<\/p>\n<p>To give leadership confidence in advertising investments, we introduced a robust tracking and reporting framework\u2014bringing full transparency to campaign performance and ROI.<\/p>\n<p>From there, ALG implemented a long-term strategy built around seasonality, physician segmentation (by specialty, geography, and gender), and channel-specific experimentation to unlock new growth opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>The Outcomes<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased media investment from $200\u2013300K to $600\u2013800K\/year<\/li>\n<li>Fully replaced partner-driven revenue\u2014at the same or lower cost, with more predictability<\/li>\n<li>Gained full visibility into advertising ROI with real attribution and reporting<\/li>\n<li>Diversified from PPC-only to a multi-channel paid strategy including LinkedIn, Meta and TikTok<\/li>\n<li>Exceeded revenue goals\u2014even those considered stretch targets<\/li>\n<li>Transformed marketing operations from reactive to proactive and data-driven<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"2989\" data-end=\"3012\"><strong data-start=\"2995\" data-end=\"3012\">Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3014\" data-end=\"3124\">With the infrastructure now in place, Pattern is investing confidently in future growth.
