BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the VP of marketing for a company that distributes spiked coffee.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with 1o8?
We hired 1o8 for digital marketing, website development, and SEO.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
For our website, 1o8 updated the platform and added our store locator. Through the backend, they optimized the content to help with SEO. We didn’t have a previous SEO strategy before working with them. Their team has been working on our paid advertising through Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram. They also work on our email campaigns. We are beginning to work with their team on Snapchat.
What is the team composition?
We’ve had about four people working on this project. I’m frequently in touch with the owner.
How did you come to work with 1o8?
I’ve worked with 1o8 in the past and found their team to be fantastic. I’ve taken their team with me to four different clients and three different companies. They always have something I can use. If they know they can’t do something, they’re honest and will refer to someone else. Another reason why I like them is that they never outsource their work.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve invested between $1–$5 million.
What is the status of this engagement?
This engagement started in February 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their integrity has helped our ongoing relationship. We’ve seen an increase in traffic and organic rankings. A lot of this has been due to their SEO efforts. We’ve also been doing a lot of A/B testing, which has been wonderful.
How did 1o8 perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management style is excellent. They do all of the research, working hard to figure everything out. We trust their judgment since we’re not the first liquor brand they’ve worked with. For project management tools, they created a specific dashboard for the project.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Besides their customer service approach, I appreciate their innovative thought process with advertising.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Since they’re getting busy, it would be helpful if they hired more people.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Clients should know what they want, ensuring a budget and plan is in place. Be ready to take advice from them. Digital isn’t cheap. So if you’re going to work with them, be prepared to spend the money.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with 1o8?
In the beginning, we needed to launch a new website. Our SEO and Google Ads strategies were also lacking. We tried traditional campaigns through direct mail, radio, billboards, and newspapers. Our digital campaigns needed to be more efficient.
SOLUTION

While their team didn’t develop our website, they worked on other technical aspects. The team at 1o8 has assisted with curating pages and blog posts. They also created a tracking dashboard. Their team has worked with Google Analytics, SEO, and other digital avenues for advertising. Right now, we’re focusing on growth strategy. We’re doing a lot of A/B testing and implementing Google Tag manager code.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The number of leads has tripled since their team started. The sales team can barely get through them all. Our ranking has also jumped in several places. The Facebook Ads campaign is also a success. Everything across the board has been great.
How did 1o8 perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re excellent. Every time I’ve needed anything, Alap (Founder, 1o8) and his team have jumped on it. A lot of times, companies have to relay messages to other people within the team. After asking the team at 1o8 a question, they’ll come back within a few hours with the completed task or other recommendations.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their responsiveness is noteworthy. The way Alap runs his business entails having an expert in every field. He allows us to work with team members in each field, depending on our needs. The team at 1o8 has skilled expertise in different fields.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, we’re happy with everything they’ve done.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Do what 1o8 says.

Since we started working with Io8, we've seen our conversion rates increase from .03% to a monthly average of 1 - 2% and have had days where we've seen an 8% conversion rate! We're getting a lot smarter about targeting and are starting to see patterns that suggest a sustainable trend in the right direction.

We're a small and nimble team and they've met us where we need to be in terms of workflow and communication. They've made a concerted effort to ask how to make the workflow more efficient and we feel confident that they're open to any suggestions should we have any. So far so good.
