How We Helped Graylyn Estate Drive High-Quality Leads and Event Bookings

To firmly position Graylyn Estate as the premier East Coast venue for corporate events, Wildfire deployed a dual-pronged strategy leveraging Google Performance Max for expansive reach and targeted Search campaigns for high-intent capture. We meticulously honed in on key decision-makers using audience targeting and ad copy—meeting planners, HR executives, and executive assistants—who directly influence off-site meetings and retreats. Our objective was clear: attract event planners actively searching for venues and convert that interest into high-value leads and bookings. We precisely tailored the media mix to emphasize high-intent moments and strategically targeted markets like North Carolina, Georgia, and Michigan, where our data indicated elevated conversion rates. This data-driven approach, combined with continuous bid management and optimized landing experiences, ensured the campaign delivered not only an increase in leads but a significant improvement in their quality.
