BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Adwisely (formerly RetargetApp) is an online advertising tool for eCommerce stores that allows fully automated Facebook & Google ads, making it easy to create and manage ad campaigns.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 42DM, and what were your goals?

42DM was hired to help us create SEO strategy for the new website and help us grow organic traffic. 42DM helped us with analyzing the competitors' SEO & content strategies, and creating the structure and growth plan for our new website. They also provided us with technical SEO support across our journey and helped us move seamlessly from one domain name to another during the company re-naming.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Our paths with 42DM crossed before, so I knew they delivered great results in the project I used to work with. We were looking for an agency that can provide high-quality SEO & content strategy service, and I knew that 42DM is a reliable partner for B2B SaaS businesses.

After we discussed our task with their team and got to know more about their approach, our choice was definitely in their favor. It’s an American agency with Ukrainian roots that has solid expertise in B2B business promotion. After more than a year of cooperation, I have no doubt that it was a good choice.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

At the initial stages of cooperation, the main scope of the work was SEO support in all directions (research, strategy, SEO support for our newly created website, keywords&topics research for our content strategy, content assignments, backlink strategy, crowdsourcing, consulting).

Thanks to the professional work of 42Dm's SEO department and their tight cooperation with our content team, we managed to increase organic traffic, website position and top keywords list dramatically, within a few months.

In addition, in connection with the rebranding and transition to a new website domain, thanks to the recommendations of 42DM, we did not lose but rather increased traffic on the site. 42DM also supported us greatly in our content initiatives, when we needed extra writers who can create high-quality content on request.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Our project manager Yulia is always in touch to discuss any stage of work, deliverables and workflow. We have a few SEO and content specialists dedicated to the Adwisely project from the side of 42DM. We are satisfied with every stage of the work done.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We consider cooperation with 42DM successful in all stated areas. The year-over-year growth in clicks and organic traffic was about 10x. Our website steadily increases its organic traffic, clicks, positions,.and new leads coming from organic search. The day-by-day support of their SEO team is a huge asset for our business.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We’re in touch with our project manager via email a few times a week and sometimes we ask them to arrange meetings on demand. Every month we have a reporting call, where we review the results and agree on the scope of work and budget for the upcoming months. Such workflow is very efficient and convenient for our team.

42DM's team overall is very responsive, open to new ideas and suggestions, and ready to answer any questions. They are great in coordination with our internal specialists. Our project manager is very precise, structured, and communicates efficiently. SEO and content specialists are always striving to bring value to the business, apart from delivering their tasks.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Absolutely all 42DM employees who did their part of work for our project are high-class professionals. We have never had any problems with trust in their solutions, or comments on the work done.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Nothing particular to specify at this point.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder and CEO of a digital wellness brand, which has not yet been launched. Stay tuned!

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire 42DM, and what were your goals?

I wanted to have all my marketing ducks in a row for the launch of my brand, so I spent a great deal of time searching for/vetting a marketing team that I could trust to take the lead on all things marketing.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I shortlisted three agencies and chose 42DM because the exploratory interview was very well-organized and goal-oriented. No small talk.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

First, we went through a marketing approach development phase, during which I shared an existing branding scope, information about my business model and about my target audience. The 42DM team used this information to conduct keywords & content field research, market & competitors research, and buyer personas research. Their research was well-organized and insightful, offering actionable advice on how to position my brand.

The next phase involved designing a campaign strategy (which platforms, what the ads would look like, what the content of the ads would be). It also involved an audit of the existing landing page, and, based on their findings, a detailed proposal to redesign the landing page in order to drive traffic to the site.

Other ongoing tasks include - Marketing automation setup for the landing page, marketing email automation flow (letters and chains design), and media campaigns support.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I worked with a dedicated inbound marketer and project manager Diana, who regularly involved other team members whose breadth of expertise were relevant to the task at hand. Diana was intuitive in the sense that, she knew exactly what I was asking (even if I didn't have a well-developed marketing lexicon) and then relaying that question to the team members in a way that they would understand.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

I don't have stats yet because I have not yet launched the brand - I have to come up with a second product before I launch, so the ball's in my court, of course. Once I've set a launch date, it will be pretty breezy because of all the research and collateral that's already been designed by 42DM!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Diana the project manager was 100% responsive to my questions and concerns, during scheduled meetings and via email. Very fruitful communication, too – for example, every time I posed a question to Diana, the rest of the team had been informed and promptly adjusted their deliverables accordingly.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I was so impressed by how 42DM was able to deliver a fine-tuned strategy deck that accurately reflected my unique business model and the values of my target audience. All team members that I've interacted with are profound listeners.

I was equally impressed by the ads creation because of how every single ad spoke to the values of my target audience. Every single ad also contextualized the product in a "short & sweet" fashion that made its value proposition crystal clear without getting too wordy.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

There's really not much room for improvement - the only thing I would ask for is to get to know some of the other team members better so I could leverage their specialties / prior experiences in specific marketing stages (or even prior experiences in specific areas of the globe) in order to maximize the quality and the relevance of deliverables for my own brand.

I think that incorporating some type of "ice-breaker" activity into the first meeting of each phase would help accomplish the above goal.
