Data-Driven Marketing Opens Door to Increased Bookings
This South Carolina escape room franchise partnered with excelerate to improve their marketing ROI. To solve their marketing challenges, we deployed a data-driven strategy to captivate the right audience using the most-effective channels, which significantly increased brand awareness, online bookings and ROI.
As a result of this success, three additional Escapology locations have partnered with excelerate. Infusing the same strategy with custom marketing plans, these locations are also seeing similar success.
