Kids parties are booked on emotion and on a date. A parent wants the best birthday their child has ever had, and they want it on a specific Saturday. When they search for an entertainer, the company that shows up first, with the right character and a clear offer, gets the call.
Mad Monkeys Events came to Pixelco to be that company on Google. We launched its Google Ads, produced the ad creatives and added new pages to the website. Here is what the first month looked like.
Kids party entertainment in South Florida: costumed characters, shows, decorations, arts and crafts. A certified company with more than ten years of experience. madmonkeys.events ↗
First month at a glance:
The client
Mad Monkeys Events organizes children’s parties across South Florida. The catalog is huge: Transformers, Sonic, superheroes and princesses, a dinosaur show, a science show, Nerf battles, themed decorations from Minecraft to Club 54, custom T-shirt crafts and add-ons like photographers, cakes and photo booths.
The task
The business already had a strong reputation and loyal families who came back year after year. What it needed was a steady flow of new bookings from people who had never heard of it, at a cost that made sense for a party business.
The challenge: dozens of very different offers. A parent looking for a Transformers show and a parent looking for a princess tea party are searching for different things, and both need to land on the right page.

The original review on Google
Very professional and good team. They have everything you need for a good advertisement.
With $1000 budget we did $8000 in sales for the first month.
What made it work
- Match the ad to the search. A parent looking for a specific character or show should see that character or show in the ad.
- Real photos sell. Creatives with the actual costumes and decorations show parents exactly what they will get.
- Count every lead from day one. With analytics connected, it’s clear which campaigns bring requests and where the budget should go.
- A small budget is enough to start. About $1,000 was enough to prove the channel works.
