Campaign thinking, not a trophy wall.

How we think through campaigns, funnels and sector growth – shown as strategy logic, not exaggerated numbers.

Why there are no performance metrics on this page

Agency case studies routinely quote "300% growth" against baselines you never see. Even real numbers mislead without their context – budget, market, seasonality, starting point. So we show you the thing that actually predicts whether we can help you: how we think. The snapshots below describe engagements led by members of the navayu team, including work delivered in previous roles. In the audit, where it is relevant, we will happily talk you through real numbers – with their context attached.

Hospitality

The challenge: a hotel group leaking margin to OTA commissions

Google Ads + Direct Booking Architecture

We rebuilt paid search around booking windows rather than an always-on campaign with a flat daily budget. Advance-booking demand and last-minute demand behave like different products: different queries, different pages, different bids. The account was restructured so budget follows the booking decision, with direct-booking landing pages built to convert each window on its own terms.

The 20% at work: OTA dependency is a margin problem, not a traffic problem. Generic campaigns buy traffic; booking-window architecture buys direct revenue.
Real Estate

The challenge: enquiry volume that sales teams could not use

Paid Lead Gen + Pre-Sales Qualification

Off-plan and ready-to-move buyers were entering one funnel and being treated identically. We separated the funnels – different copy strategy, different nurture length, different qualification questions – and defined 'qualified' contractually before launch: budget confirmed, timeline confirmed, property type matched. Pre-sales called and scored every lead before handover.

The 20% at work: Without a signed qualification definition, cost-per-lead is a vanity metric. With one, sales and marketing finally argue about the same number.
Education

The challenge: one evergreen campaign serving three different intakes

PPC + Enrolment Funnel Design

Admissions demand is calendar-driven, so we treated January clearing, September intake and international windows as separate products with their own creative, budgets and conversion goals. Application-window countdowns replaced generic 'enrol now' messaging, and the nurture sequence matched each window's real decision length.

The 20% at work: A single evergreen campaign misprices every seasonal window. The academic calendar is the strategy – everything else is execution.
Agriculture

The challenge: reaching buyers who do not browse like office workers

Email Marketing + LinkedIn B2B

Field-based buyers check their phones before the working day starts – so sequences were rebuilt to land early morning, written in plain language rather than corporate marketing speak. B2B trade buyers and end consumers were separated into different tracks, because a dealer's buying logic has nothing in common with a farmer's.

The 20% at work: Send-time is sector knowledge. The same sequence at 10am reaches an empty cab.
Healthcare

The challenge: a multi-location clinic group invisible in the map pack

Local SEO + Reputation Engine

We rebuilt visibility around service lines and providers instead of one department website: Google Business Profiles per location and practitioner, service-line pages answering patient questions in plain language, and a review engine with response templates that never confirm patient status. Calls were tracked through to booked appointments, and every claim passed a compliance pass before publishing.

The 20% at work: Patients choose from the map pack and the reviews – the website confirms, it does not discover. In healthcare, compliance is a design constraint, not an afterthought.
Logistics

The challenge: impressions reaching people who cannot sign

LinkedIn ABM – Ops Director Targeting

Freight decision-makers and coordinators sit in the same job-title haystack. Before spending anything we separated audiences by seniority and function, then built SLA-led messaging for the people who actually sign contracts – operations directors – instead of brand content for everyone.

The 20% at work: In logistics the audience problem is seniority, not reach. SLA-led messaging only works on signers.
How to Read These

Judge the reasoning, not the adjectives.

Each snapshot follows the same skeleton on purpose. Here is what to look for – with any agency, not just us.

Signal 01

Is the problem sector-shaped?

"Low leads" is a generic diagnosis. "OTA margin drag" or "coordinators cannot sign" is a sector one. Specificity of diagnosis predicts quality of treatment.

Signal 02

Is the fix structural?

Good work changes architecture – funnels split, definitions signed, windows weighted. Tweaks decorate; structure compounds.

Signal 03

Would an insider nod?

Read the "20% at work" line and ask if someone inside your industry would recognise it. That test fails fast on generic agencies.

Fair Challenges

The questions this page should raise.

A no-metrics work page invites scepticism. Good – here are the straight answers.

Are these engagements real?

They describe real work led by members of the navayu team, including work delivered in previous roles – stated plainly on every snapshot. What we refuse to do is decorate them with numbers stripped of context.

Can we see actual numbers somewhere?

Yes – in the audit conversation, where relevant and with context attached: budget, market, seasonality, starting point. Numbers without context are how this industry lies politely.

Can you provide references?

Where clients have agreed, yes – during the engagement conversation, matched to your sector. We do not publish names for logo-wall decoration.

Why should we trust thinking over results?

Because thinking predicts; trophies do not. A result you cannot inspect tells you nothing about your case. Reasoning you can inspect tells you exactly how we would treat yours – and the sprint model means we prove it in 90 days against criteria you set.

Your Sector Next

The fastest way to see this thinking applied to your business is to ask for it.
