The Solution

To strengthen consumer relationships and increase market share, Terakeet worked with the brand to improve the performance of product pages and meet consumer needs through informational content. These assets would be purpose-built to meet the real needs of their audience as they searched for solutions online.

Our Approach


Investing in owned assets

Terakeet partnered with the brand to build consumer relationships, improve brand authority, and grow online visibility through valuable content.

By investing in owned assets within the brand’s domain, they connected with their target audience earlier and more often throughout the buyer’s journey. After publishing a variety of informative top-of-funnel content, the brand positioned itself as a trusted resource in the eyewear and eye care space.

The brand is also now able to…

  • Reach millions of consumers as they seek solutions at multiple customer journey stages.
  • Retain control and ownership over performance marketing assets.
  • Provide value to consumers and establish long-term brand equity.
