Marketing Case Bootcamp – Details, episodes & analysis

Integrated marketing is far more than “just using both traditional and digital channels.” It has evolved from simply running print and broadcast ads in parallel to orchestrating real-time, data-driven experiences across every touchpoint—TV, out-of-home, social, mobile, and beyond.

In this episode, we:

• Define Integrated Marketing: why it’s a mindset, not a channel checklist

• Unpack the Core Pillars: unified messaging, channel synergy, cross-team collaboration, holistic measurement, and data-driven personalization
• Spotlight a Star Example: how Coca-Cola balances billboards, TV, social, AR, and loyalty apps to create one cohesive brand journey

• Trace its Evolution: from early IMC to today’s real-time omnichannel world with QR-powered OOH, programmatic buys, and social-to-store loops

• Give You the Framework: a step-by-step playbook for mapping your own integrated campaign

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) uses paid search ads to put your offer in front of people the instant they’re looking for it.

Businesses run search ads because they deliver instant visibility on queries that signal purchase intent, provide fully measurable performance metrics, and allow precise control over budget, targeting, and messaging—making SEM one of the most efficient, scalable ways to drive relevant traffic and sales!

In this episode we will turn New York’s most famous view into non-stop ticket sales by building a Google Search campaign for the Empire State Building Observatory from the ground up:

• Start with the business goal

• Split into multiple campaigns

• Craft themed ad groups & keywords

• Write Responsive Search Ads that sell

• Stack extensions for maximum impact

• Launch, learn, and scale

What exactly is a market‑entry strategy? Think of it as the launch blueprint that answers five brutal questions before you spend a dime:

1. ​Where’s the pie and how big is your slice? (TAM/SAM/SOM)
2. ​Who cares—and why should they switch? (target persona + positioning)
3. ​Which doors do you knock on first? (channel mix & partnerships)
4. ​How do you stretch every budget dollar? ($500 k in six months, not a penny more)
5. ​When do you declare victory—or pull the plug? (KPIs & break‑even math)

In this episode we run those questions through the real‑world gauntlet of GreenSip, the West‑Coast plant‑based beverage darling that wants to elbow its way onto New York City shelves—and TikTok feeds—before the next cold‑brew wave hits.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is simply the art of making your site the first answer users see when they Google a question. It’s half detective work—figuring out what people really type into the search bar—and half interior design—arranging your pages so search bots (and humans) love every corner.

In this kickoff episode we drop into the workshop of ArtisanPaws, a tiny e‑commerce brand hand‑stitching eco‑friendly pet toys. Their problem? Gorgeous products… buried on page six. Over coffee‑chat banter we:

• ​Demystify SEO fundamentals – keywords, search intent, and why Google rewards helpful, trustworthy content.

• ​Dig for long‑tail gold – watch us swap “dog toys” for phrases real shoppers use, like “best eco‑friendly chew toy for aggressive chewers.”

• ​Map the buyer journey – craft TOFU/MOFU/BOFU content that nudges readers from curious to cart‑clicking.

• ​Build topic clusters – one “Ultimate Guide to Eco Pet Play” hub linked to bite‑size blogs that prove authority and boost E‑E‑A‑T.

• ​Write a bulletproof content brief – headlines, sub‑topics, CTAs, internal links, and trust badges, all in a tidy template.

• ​Reveal the payoff – 700 % traffic growth, 1.5 × conversion rate, and ArtisanPaws suddenly barking at the big retailers.

Whether you’re a founder polishing your own site, a marketer prepping for case interviews, or a curious learner who’s tired of dry theory, this walk‑through turns SEO into real‑world reps you can steal tomorrow.
