This involved creating new content such as blogs and webpages but also paid advertising on LinkedIn and Google.

We make an investigations platform that allows organisations to use open source data quickly, securely and accurately to address problems like financial crime, terrorism and trafficking. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Gripped, and what were your goals? We initially hired Gripped to refresh our website. The visuals and content needed to be improved in order to optimise lead conversion. Once we'd seen what they could do, we also began to use them for support with digital marketing as we didn't have the resource and expertise to do everything we wanted to in-house. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? I had already seen Gripped's work at another organisation and was really impressed with their approachable, can-do attitude, their flexibility and their data-driven approach. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used. Gripped ran initial discovery sessions to understand who our target personas are and how our product is relevant to them. Then, they presented and implemented a complete digital marketing and content strategy, including: Implementing the HubSpot Marketing Hub system Running LinkedIn Ad campaigns Creating a content plan to target key search terms and designing premium content pieces Running Google Ad campaigns Continually optimising our website for conversion and SEO Creating email newsletters and nurture campaigns How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

They are always clear about what they are working on, where time is being spent and what the expected outcomes are. They are flexible and respond quickly when we ask for a change. The way we work together is one of the best things about working with them. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? Gripped have made an effort to get to know our business really well. They understand our priorities and are proactive in their suggestions to meet these. Most of all, they understand that data is crucial to their and our success. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? It took a while for them to understand how to write content for us - but this was to be expected given the very niche area we operate in! They worked really hard to address any concerns and we now get brilliant feedback about content they've written. --- #### Web Dev, Branding & Digital Mktg for IT Company **The Project** - Services: Branding, Other Digital Marketing, Web Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Jan. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: An IT company hired Gripped to rebuild their site on WordPress and refresh their branding. The team also manages PPC campaigns, writes blogs, and creates microsites to drive traffic towards the client’s website. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director, IT Services Provider - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jul 28, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Gripped’s constant monitoring and modification of a £20,000 marketing campaign has resulted in a £2 million return on investment. Their branding work has been well-received and their project management commended. The team’s ability to do independent research sets them apart in the eyes of the client. ""They are quite analytic and scientific about what they do."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I am the director and founder of an IT services company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Gripped? We found that our old method of marketing was giving us diminishing returns. Over a period of five years, our traditional cold-calling campaigns were getting us fewer leads. We hired Gripped to help us address this problem. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Gripped came in and spoke to us about moving to a more inbound method of marketing using blogs, PPC, and calls to action on our website. This way, we could drive more traffic to the site, get people to fill in forms, and engage in the live chat. Their team put together a proposal to update our website and put them on a monthly retainer to write our content, manage our PPC, and, effectively, give us an outsourced marketing department. We began by helping them research topics within our industry and what we do as a business. It didn’t take them long to work independently from there. We gave them a bunch of blog titles that we think might be well-aligned with our services, and they went off to do their own research and create a blog based on that.  Gripped did branding for us as well, helping us develop a new logo and a new message for the website, which they built on WordPress. The team catered to ad hoc activities since we were always coming up with new ideas. Away from the main website, they helped us build microsites to drive more targeted traffic through different subjects. They also helped us engage with our vendor partners to extract marketing funds from them. What is the team composition? I think we are one of their very first customers so there were two guys there initially. We work with Ben (Co-Founder) and Steve (Co-Founder) but over time, they’ve recruited more and more staff. We now have an account manager. How did you come to work with Gripped? They were recommended to us by someone we know within our industry but we were very skeptical about what they were saying because we’d heard it from other companies before. We were nervous but we went with Gripped because of the fact that they had a personal relationship with a person that we trusted. We stuck with them and are glad that we did. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent around £250,000 (approximately $348,000 USD). What is the status of this engagement? It started in January 2018, and it is still ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Last year, we invested about £20,000 (approximately $28,000 USD) on a specific campaign and got a return of about £2 million (approximately $2,783,000 USD). We are satisfied with the branding work and everyone seems to like it. We’ve just spoken to the team about another refresh because it was probably about 18 months ago when we rebranded the website. We are going to stick with them for that as well. How did Gripped perform from a project management standpoint? They do really well. Our account manager makes sure that things are done according to the timeline and budget. I would say that’s part of their strength.  We use Google tools, and we approve blog posts via Google. We have a call every two weeks to discuss our progress and where we are against our 90-day rolling plan. On that call, we speak to our account manager, the web developer, and the copywriter about new ideas. What did you find most impressive about them? The most impressive thing about Gripped is how they constantly monitor what they're doing, particularly with PPC. They will try something, monitor the results, tweak it, and monitor the results again. If anything goes awry, they will revert to the old way of doing things. We have used firms in the past that would just set it and let it run, but Gripped does not do that. They are quite analytic and scientific about what they do. Are there any areas they could improve? I wouldn’t say so. They are pretty much a perfect organization. The price could always be lower, but the same could be said for things like gas and electricity too. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Trust Gripped and be patient. It is very easy to embark on a different endeavor, do things differently, and get the jitters when you’re three months in and not seeing a result. Trust in what they say and give them time to prove what they say they are going to achieve. --- #### Digital Marketing for Video SaaS Developer **The Project** - Services: Other Digital Marketing - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: June 2019 - Nov. 2020 **Project Summary**: Gripped provided robust digital marketing, including web design and development, paid and organic search, and more. Content creation was also a major offering; Gripped delivered e-books, white papers, and more. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** VP of Marketing, IPV - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jan 8, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: All significant metrics have shown stark improvement including organic traffic, leads generated, and email marketing engagement. Gripped was proactive throughout the engagement, offering their own ideas to optimize content. Future clients will encounter an expert, highly-organized partner. ""They really understand what they’re talking about. They’re always available to ask questions and run ideas past." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re an enterprise, B2B SaaS platform that sells software to brands and broadcasters to help manage and edit their video at scale. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Gripped? We’d never had a marketing department before when I was brought on board to put an entire marketing strategy into place. I hired Gripped to help with digital marketing, from building a website to creating content and doing paid ads and SEO. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We had a working relationship over the course of 18 months. We started with a design, scope, and build-out of a website because we didn’t have one; we only had a simple web page. Now, it’s a high-converting lead generation tool. We put together an entire growth playbook that encompassed messaging and value props. They also helped with target buyer personas, content calendars, and premium content including white papers, e-books with case studies, and more. In terms of pure marketing, they put together our retargeting, Google Ads, and LinkedIn ads on a rolling, monthly basis. What is the team composition? We worked with a few people including Steve (Co-Founder). The other co-founder helped out as well in different parts of the process. We also had one account manager throughout the period, as well as a content manager and digital designer. There was one point of contact all the way through for the 6-7 people we worked with. How did you come to work with Gripped? I had a working relationship with the two co-founders a couple of years beforehand. I knew how good they were at marketing and product, and I’ve been following their work since Gripped began. I was nervous about jumping straight in with them since they were the people I knew so I looked at similar agencies but, frankly, none of them compared to Gripped. They didn’t seem to be prepared to speak to prospects; the whole process was difficult while Gripped made it easy for us. How much have you invested with them? We spent around £160,000 (approximately $200,000 USD). What is the status of this engagement? We worked together from June 2019 until November 2020. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We measure everything in marketing. In 2019, our web traffic was 13,500, and most of that came in the last three months when Gripped was on board. In 2020, that grew 120,000; that’s a 700% increase. Our organic web traffic tracked better than industry standards as well. This means our target keywords and our content were working. We sent out 50,000 emails in 2019 and 1,300,000 in 2020, and the engagement rates improved. Before Gripped, we didn’t have any digital content. No blogs, articles, or content to learn about our company from. Since then we’ve put together 170 blog articles, 12-e-books, hosted 12 webinars, and put out 80 videos and 133 articles. What that’s all helped with is the number of leads generated and opportunities created. In 2019, our company had 168 leads, and most of those came from September on, when the website launched. In 2020, there were 2,350 leads. That’s a 1,300% increase in leads. How did Gripped perform from a project management standpoint? This is a strength of theirs. They had to chase us a lot of the time. They’re quite organized, and our account manager specifically. We let them down there and could have done better if we had more bandwidth on our end. What did you find most impressive about them? They really understand what they’re talking about. They’re always available to ask questions and run ideas past. Rather than waiting for me to come up with an idea, they’d bring ideas to the table. They were quite active in what they were doing. Are there any areas they could improve? One of the reasons we left is because they are maybe slightly generalist in the industries they work with. The company we utilize now is more specialized in our industry. If they specialize a bit more and also did some of the more traditional marketing, it may have helped us stay. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Listen to their advice and do what they say. They know what they’re talking about. --- #### Paid Search & Social Media Ads for Software Company **The Project** - Services: Advertising, Pay Per Click, Social Media Marketing - Project size: Confidential - Project length: May 2025 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Gripped manages a software company's paid search and social media advertising on Google and LinkedIn.
