1st Central, a leading UK direct-to-consumer car insurer, aimed to transform its sales strategy. The goal was to boosting direct policy purchases to compliment their thriving price comparison website channels. Which came with high acquisition costs, limited control over customer data, and a scepticism around social marketing’s ROI. This reliance hampered scalability and stifled brand growth opportunities.
Found was tasked with a bold challenge: to overhaul 1st Central’s customer acquisition strategy using our proprietary Everysearch™ framework. The goal was clear, deliver over 5,000 incremental sales at the target CPA.
At the heart of this transformation was Everysearch™, a proprietary framework designed to navigate the complexities of the modern consumer journey. In today’s “messy middle,” search extends beyond Google, and conversion paths are no longer linear. Everysearch™ enabled us to pinpoint critical touchpoints during the exploration and evaluation stages, delivering hyper-targeted, impactful messaging.
