Care For Kids said “Intender has succeeded where large agencies failed”

“Intender succeeded where large agencies have failed – they have lowered our CPA by 80% and increased leads by 46% – by focusing on what people want first, rather than what clients want to say.”
– Ash Sachdev CEO

The Overview

Care For Kids is a national comparison service that specialises in helping parents find suitable childcare centres, daycare options, and babysitters. They approached Intender to enhance their lead generation strategy and acquisition by addressing gaps in their existing approach.

The Challenge​

There is a complex path to purchase/enquiry, with 15,000 locations, with varying capacity, competition & CPLs
The distributed locations of centres and the lack of automation within the account before Intender was resulting in a negative ROI across the paid activity. The challenge we faced was the need for all centres to hit a minimum of enquiries whilst also lowering paid media spend levels.
