How We Were Chosen:
We are a team that thrives when put to the test, and working with various clients presents us with fresh opportunities that encourage us to think creatively and strategically.
Dinosaur Designs
Dinosaur Designs is a renowned brand in Australia that has established itself to be one of the forefronts of handcrafted resin jewellery and homeware. Yet, even with a widely recognised homegrown label, they still had challenges that needed addressing—and that’s when MindArc Marketing stepped in.
Dinosaur Designs has a strong presence in its physical stores and realised that they are missing out on the online space. With that, they’ve engaged us for a strategic combination of both SEO and SEM to boost visibility in the long term.
Our solutions:
- We focused on Brand USPs
- We integrated an approach for SEM & SEO
- We implemented a data-first approach for cross channels implementations
- We created audience segmentations and remarketing
With the right approach to Dinosaur Designs’ challenges and a clear focus on goals, our diligent efforts resulted in an increase in the organic search revenue by 46%, direct traffic revenue by 58%, paid search revenue by 73%, new organic users by 34% and returning visitors for paid by 73%.
Lovekins:
Sustainability is becoming more and more popular in the beauty community. All across the board, companies are making an effort to create more environmentally friendly packaging and use more natural renewable resources.
Lovekins, an Australia-based company dedicated to using sustainable native ingredients, saw that big brands’ strong emphasis on sustainability meant significant competition. The client approached MindArc Marketing with the intention of improving SEO on their website after moving to Shopify Plus and increasing overall performance on their online search activities.
Our solutions:
- We utilised One Search Approach
- We used consolidated search data to understand what our competitors are doing and how we are ranking in organic search
- We focused on top products for Lovekins
By optimising both organic and paid search as well as running a comprehensive competition analysis, our efforts led to exceptional results. Lovekins gained 15% in revenue for combined search in 3 months, 10% in Sessions for combined search, 5.4% in Ecommerce Conversion Rate for combined search and 12% in New Users for combined search.
Lacoste

Our solutions:
- We helped improve the technical aspects of the website
