BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am part of the senior leadership team for an early-stage payments FinTech operating in emerging markets.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We were launching our first product in the UAE and were looking for an experienced, leading edge performance marketer to lead us through the launch. Our goal was to get the team up to speed on growth best practices while acquiring our first user-base as effectively as possible within the constraints of our capabilities.

SOLUTION

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

We evaluated a few local vendors in the market we were planning to operate in when GrowthCurve arrived as an option. The deciding factor was that Mulenga, who would be leading the engagement, had successfully executed a similar business with a similar demographic user base and product before.

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

First, we went through an onboarding process to register accounts and create access for the different platforms that would be required. We started with generating a mailing list with a landing page and paid ads ahead of launching the product in the market. This toolkit included Adjust for mobile attribution. We learned a great deal with the first market launch and are now looking at getting everything set up ahead of the next market launch.

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

We worked with Mulenga - the account manager and overall lead marketer, Michael the media buyer, and Jade who managed the creative studio.

In the first six months, we generated a base of 30,000 users and proof of product-market-fit with a positive NPS.

They're a full-stack performance marketing team with relevant experience despite being in completely different places.

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

Having worked with growthcurve before, it was a no-brainer to commission the work again.

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

As a relatively flexible and iterative project (with many moving parts and new products), the scope of work needed to be equally as flexible. Growthcurve adapted to this style of work effortlessly. At the start of each month, key deliverables were agreed (set against a wider agreed strategy) and each month the previous months metrics were analysed.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CEO of unrd, a startup creating the future of mobile entertainment.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found Growthcurve through a past connection with Mulenga. I had been impressed by his success at Monese and is in depth knowledge on performance led creative.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

We talked with Mulenga and team our ambitions with the business. Namely our vision to provide a new format of entertainment. We also discussed our key KPI's and what success looked like. This would then be translated into creative that would deliver this proposition to the user, across multiple channels.

What was the team composition?

We worked closely with Mulenga and more recently, Michael. These were our main points of contact.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Through constant iteration of creative, audience and channel, we were able to reach ROAS positive over the last few months. Will April 2021 being our most successful month ever. We reached 143% return on ad spend in April! This has built a strong base for us to grow from here, and given us confidence to continue to spend and expand audience and market targeting.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We have had weekly meetings with the team, discussing strategy, creative and ongoing ideas. I've especially valued them challenging us on some ideas we had, and usually their suggestions have resulted in success. I've especially appreciated them pushing back on our creative ideas, in place of more bluesky thinking!

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The Growthcurve team is always challenging us in the right way. There's always a right way and wrong way to do it! They've constantly pushed us to think in more exciting ways from a creative point of view, pushing outside the box of what competitors and other apps are doing. I've also found it useful to discuss fundraising tactics with Mulenga, as his vast experience in guiding startups to success is hugely helpful.

Additionally, in the grand scheme of things, we're a small client for Growthcurve. However, I've always felt the team have made us feel like we're a key client! This has been reflected in their energy and excitement to help us grow.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

Being able to feed more creative thoughts into the process would be useful, though this is pretty minor. If we were spending more, I know this would be the case! Additionally, it would have been great to have had more speedy interactions when it came to implementing some of the recent data changes impacting marketing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are still early in the project but have already found an audience that has performed incredibly well - this audience was one that Growthcurve has found from their experience and one we would not have found on our own.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow is good, we have direct contact with their founder who we iterate with constantly.

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

They are more technical than any other team, not a standard approach - but almost a split between engineering/product and marketing.

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

It would be great to communicate more before creative is developed to make sure that our roadmap and UI is up to date with the screens they are putting in our ads. This is especially because we are moving very fast and our app is in constant flux at the moment.
