Ironhack final project · Thursday walkthrough

From a personal brand to a measurable marketing system

Research → strategy → implementation → measurement. This showcase follows the latest 20-slide final presentation and separates completed website work from assumptions, targets and work still to validate.

One studio. Two revenue engines.

Primary: service business

Social media and content support, digital-presence support and lead support for recurring local SME work.

Secondary: travel affiliate

Frankfurt content connects to verified partner recommendations and measurable outbound clicks. Bookings and commissions are not claimed.

Primary ICP

Owner-led B2B physical-product SMEs

Working hypothesis: companies with 10–50 employees in Kreis Borken, an existing website, a small marketing team and a need for visible, practical execution before scaling.

Phase 1

Market research & offer

Narrowed ICP, a three-part offer, inbound and outbound acquisition, and clearly labelled pricing, funnel and CAC assumptions.

Research complete · manager interview and 10–20 targeted outreaches planned

Phase 2

Website, SEO & GEO

Multilingual conversion hub, intent-based service/local/Frankfurt keyword clusters and a documented GEO baseline-and-retest plan.

Website implemented · GEO experiment pending

Phase 3

Frankfurt affiliate implementation

Stay, Do and Explore path with Expedia and Viator partner links connected and GetYourGuide pending verification.

Original vacation video + first-hand guide implemented · hotel-specific Expedia and Viator walking-tour links connected · campaign and verified GetYourGuide link pending

Phase 4

Analytics & automation proof

GA4, GTM, UTMs and named events form the measurement plan. The Make → Sheet/CRM → email/notification workflow remains external and untested.

Tracking code configured · live event screenshots and automation test still needed

Presentation targets — not results

  • Qualified reply rate ≥10%
  • Calls booked ≥4%
  • Service CTA click-through ≥3%
  • Partner outbound click rate ≥5%
  • Frankfurt affiliate CTA click-through ≥3%
  • One successful end-to-end automation test

Working-model assumptions

Illustrative research assumptions only: starter project €250–400; monthly support €400–800; 50 prospects → 5 replies → 2 calls → 1 client; CAC below first-month gross margin. These are not achieved results or customer quotations.

Evidence and status checklist

Implemented: focused service offer, multilingual website, Frankfurt destination path, verified Expedia click tracking and backend enquiry storage.

Configured, proof still required: GA4/GTM events and UTM reporting in the live analytics account.

Implemented: original Frankfurt vacation video, first-hand holiday guide, hotel-specific Expedia partner link and Viator walking-tour partner link. Campaign, verified GetYourGuide affiliate link, manager interview, targeted outreach and GEO retest remain pending.

Not connected or tested: Make automation, Sheet/CRM handoff, acknowledgement email and owner notification.
