ExpandX Marketing & Web

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

The company I founded and run Elies Hellenic S.A. is with HQ in Athens, Greece. We do olive oil production, export, distribution, and sales in Greece as well as other EU and non-EU countries.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web, and what were your goals?

We needed a new website that is modern, easy to navigate by your clients and partners. This became inevitable as with the corona rises in Europe where we mainly operate. We needed new business so we contracted ExpandX to build our website and to develop a marketing strategy for the B2B sector or products we operate in.

SOLUTION

How did you select ExpandX Marketing & Web and what were the deciding factors?

They were very communicative, the team engaged with the proposal and the consulting prior that - Temelko, Ellie, and Atanas - wonderful work. They consulted us on topics we did not think about. This turned out to be a very good proactivity approach for the whole project. All the questions we had were answered professionally. We also were impressed by the portfolio presented.

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

The project was divided in two main parts - website development and building a marketing strategy. The first one was very well planned and executed. There was a project manager to manage all the steps, revisions, ideas, Q&A, and development processes. We received few initial design ideas and once we chose one direction the project continued in a very easy way. The web development team of ExpandX is really good and they did exactly what we needed!

Then the marketing strategy development begun where other type of specialists were involved with more marketing and sales background. The first service took approximately 3 months to be completed and the second I think 2. Now we have a very complex 12 months expansion marketing and sales strategy that touches a lot of points. This is already in execution and is delivering results.

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

For the 1st part of the project - website development - were worked with: - 1 website developer - 1 web designer - 1 contentwriter - 1 UX/UI and marketing specialists - 1 project manager for the 2nd part of the project, the project manager stayed but 2 other specialists joined with expertise in sales and in marketing. Very well organized and carried out project and work!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Yes. The website was ranked in terms of SEO almost 1 month after the launch and is increasing its ranking performance every month. We also got more inquiries and messages with the new design and marketing concepts implemented. This si probably also due to the whole set of the marketing strategy designed and implemented. We got new clients, signed new contracts in neighboring countries which inquiries came as a result from the whole marketing and website development work.

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

Communication was excellent! We got all the information before we asked for it. The project manager was very proactive and informative. Communication was mainly via e-mail and when needed we had a strategic meeting with Temelko, the CEO. Timelines were all met precisely.

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

The web development team is very good! They have great ideas and know how to implement them so that your website is better than the one of the competitors. They are proactive and very communicative. Also, the marketing and sales team, also with Temelko's experience is top!

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

None!

Please describe your company and your position there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web?

We approached ExpandX Marketing with projects related to our investment portfolio of residential properties we manage in London, UK. We have acquired new properties and we needed improvements related to our branding, digital presence, online communication, marketing and sales management as our focus was mainly in solid business development during the last 5 years.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to launch a new corporate website (with a B2B focus) and another website (with a B2C focus). This was the first stage of our project with ExpadnX. The competition in London is extremely intense and difficult and we needed to stand out as a brand and organization.

Once this initial phase of the project was completed the schedule was to continue with building on the digital presence of the brand. This covered intense and powerful boosts in terms of lead generation, retention campaigns, customer engagement and brand awareness campaigns.

All that was targeted with the end goal of physical customers to enter our sales suites in central London where our sales specialists and negotiations were managing the deals. This mix was later on supplemented with Employer branding and corporate branding campaigns which were mainly targeted at our staff and partners.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

The procedure was long but we started with a referral from the industry. A colleague of ours knew the CEO who was actively involved in the real estate market.

The knowledge, both in marketing and real estate, which the team of ExpandX showed us during the several strategic calls we had was impressive. Once we were presented the year round strategy we and previous work results were made our decision to work with them.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

I would divide it in two parts. Website development and Marketing & Sales campaigns. For the firs part the team did an extensive research and series of discovery calls with us and our team to understand better what we need. The schedule was tight but we managed to do the preparation well enough.

Then in period of few months we extensively worked on the website development. The team advised us on a lot of topics as there were many questions arising all the time. Once we had our B2B and B2C websites ready and functioning we continued with the marketing mix the planing of the campaigns. This was done in very digestible and easy for us way.

The team planned and worked on everything - visuals, video ads, creative, brand alignment, funnels, prospects, customer profile, targeting in therms of geographies, etc. We had a very strong digital ads campaigns for the first months but later on gradually moved on to more targeted and "vast" digital coverage of the campaigns. All very well planned, managed and optimized.

What was the team composition?

Very well structured. The CEO is on top of everything but we were assigned a project manager to run all the campaigns and project. Reporting, deadlines, project deliveries, communication and timing is great. We worked with the marketing and the web dev team mainly.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We have managed to build a solid pipeline of qualified leads for our new property developments. This was the end goal and we managed to deliver on that effectively. Our residential units were sold/rented out accordingly and in time as per the schedule. All this thanks to the right marketing mix, preparation and expertise of the ExpandX team.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective

Also the communication and the approach to us as a new customer was very good. That made us choose them as a service provider.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

For all the projects we had with ExpandX the team always started with the very detailed brief. Once we gave back the information needed, that was analysed by the team, we then discussed the strategy proposed and the steps with the project manager. Planing and processes were very good. Regarding the website development they started with a very well structured plan of the procedure, gave us information we need to decide on, gave us some design samples and navigated the project smoothly.

We received the first draft version of the website. It was beautiful. Than we did some coordinated revisions on the final touches, texts, images, etc - and the website was completed. They advised us on so many aspects we even did not think of! Perfect job! When we continued with the maintenance and management of the social media of our Facebook business profile the processes were kind of a similar ones.

They developed beautiful creatives and visuals, text and aligned everything in a posting plan. Everything was communicated very well with concrete targets, arguments, goals and explanations why it is done in such a way. Same was the approach with the paid ads in Facebook and Google. Which were developed top to bottom by ExpandX and gave us great results. The team also helped us with the design and printing of business cards, internal hotel branding, brand stationary and other marketing materials.

What was the team composition?

I think that we have worked and communicated with the whole team during the development of all those macro and micro projects.

Thank you for everything!

We have seen tremendous results in the first three months since the launch of the new website and the upgrades of our business profiles in the social media platforms. Engagement with the customers we had in the hotel transferred to the digital platforms and other saw the positive response as well.

That was spreading rapidly and we started getting more activities on our digital profiles and more inquiries from new guests, which thanks to the digital campaigns, new website, ads and activities saw the potential of our hotel an the quality of the services we deliver.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am responsible for the marketing at Karoll Capital Management, a Bulgarian asset management company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web?

We were looking to improve our social media presence for a specific product - a savings plan targeted towards more general audience, as well as to optimize our campaigns and landing page for lead generation.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to reach out and appeal to a broader audience that is very active on social media, but in the same time keep campaigns effective in terms of lead generation.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We started working together after we attended a marketing conference, organized by ExpandX.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

The whole process started with them sending us a precise marketing brief questionnaire in order to clarify our business, the current situation of our marketing activities and our goals for the future. After reviewing it, they prepared a full marketing strategy with concrete steps to achieve our business goals.

We decided together to focus on the following actions:

• optimizing the landing page of our savings plan for lead generation. We received a very detailed step-by-step report outlining why certain actions were needed and how to implement them
• creating a Facebook campaign from creatives and copywriting, to setting everything up and managing the campaign itself
• creating a content marketing plan for a newly launched Instagram page

Again they developed the concept, prepared the visuals and the copywriting to go with it.

What was the team composition?

Our account manager was our main point of contact. I know a designer and a creative participated in the process, I am not sure how many other team members were involved.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

During the period of the campaign managed by ExpandX team we managed to almost double the reach while decreasing the cost per conversion more than 3 times. The traffic to our landing page also tripled, and we are consistently getting more leads compared to previous periods. Our Instagram page is up and running and we are already getting followers without any promotion on our side.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow itself was as impressive as the results achieved by the team. From the beginning, the process was smooth and the cooperation - efficient. The communication with our account manager was very easy and efficient.

We shared files in the cloud, talked mainly through email and phone and she managed to minimize the effort needed from our part, very clearly indicating what is expected from us so that we are on schedule. Feedback was always taken into account without compromising the effectiveness of the projects.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Even though all campaigns are measured by the results achieved, and in our case the results were great, for me personally what was even more impressive was the efficiency of their work in the day-to-day tasks leading to a successful outcome.

They developed a very professional workflow that removes miscommunication,  stressfull deadlines, and execution compromises.

Are there any areas for improvement?

None that I can think of.
