Partner feedback

“One of the key reasons I came to Herd was to use their tech stack and some of their tools which allowed us to save money on paid search.

I'd highly recommend Herd and we'll absolutely be using Herd on an ongoing basis - I see Herd as a key part of our Marketing team in the future.”

Alex Howland, Digital Marketing Director, Motorpoint

“Herd immediately got a feel for the accounts, identified a number of issues, and helped put together a plan, and we've seen some really big improvements in the accounts. They've been absolutely brilliant - they're like one of the team, we can contact them whenever we want to, and it feels like they've really understood who we are.”

Selina, Head of Paid Media, Motorpoint

Why we entered

Amidst the cost-of-living crisis, Motorpoint faced spiralling ad costs due to intense competition for high quality leads, as households restricted large purchase spending. We provided a completely innovative solution, conducting a comprehensive audit and devising a tailored paid search strategy that integrated our custom-built technology to drive incrementality.

In just 6 months, we achieved unparalleled results, surpassing targets by significantly reducing ad spend and wasted budget. Our campaign generated more quality leads and improved ad relevancy scores. Motorpoint couldn’t be happier with the outcome, as we drive higher quality leads at volume pushing sales to new record levels.

Our Paid Media performance strategists have positioned Motorpoint at the forefront of the automotive car retail sector, safeguarding their future nationally.
