Challenge
Reach and exceed a 2020 revenue target at 110% higher than the previous year (2019); with a 55% reduction in budget (the subsequent impact of COVID-19).
With consistent performance within the first quarter, the resulting impact of the severity of Lockdown regulations applied within South Africa had a direct impact on all non-essential eCommerce clients.

- 377% Increase in ROI
- 178% decrease in Cost per Sale
- 190% Increase in Revenue (P-o-P)
