Purple is a company that’s maturing from quirky Kickstarter to the one player out of 150 in the online mattress space with the highest brand recall.
Strong performance marketing and viral videos got Purple on the map, but to thrive in the new premium market segment, the company needs to diversify its growth channels.
Luckily, SEO has doubled organic traffic over the last 2 years and 6x’ed traffic to its blog, the strongest growth horse in the stall.
