2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Intelus Agency optimized my profile and the profiles of 2 of my employees. They defined our target audience and built prospect lists using LinkedIn sales navigator, Apollo and intent data from our HubSpot CRM. Their trained SDRs reached out to our target prospects, piqued interest and booked meetings for our AEs. To further drive awareness at the top of the funnel, they created 3 newsfeed posts per week and shared them on LinkedIn.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Intelus Agency helped us leverage LinkedIn to expand my personal connections and the network of 2 of my employees. The outreach service unlocked access to important decision-makers in the industry, and the best practices they shared for LinkedIn lead generation have been very helpful. Overall, they generated at least 6 sales opportunities. Our sales cycle is very long and the market is mostly unaware that in-content shopping even exists. With those challenges in mind, I feel that Intelus did an excellent job!

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Intelus was very well organized from the start. Their kickoff meeting ensured we were well aligned from the start on our goals and expectations. We had regular calls and updates via Slack and email to stay in the loop about the progress. Intelus was very agile and demonstrated a keen ability to quickly pivot to optimize results.

What was your primary form of communication with Intelus Agency?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

I was impressed with their ability to simplify our messaging and deliver a value proposition that would otherwise be difficult to understand due to the complexity and wide variety of use cases for our product. They even helped us draft new cold email outreach templates, with a modular approach to ensure we can personalize the value proposition so it's more relevant to each vertical. 

This was super helpful because we target a wide variety of industries with quite diverse use cases and it gave our in-house sales team a flexible way to personalized more at scale.

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

I can't think of anything. The only reason we canceled is to shift our focus to more awareness building tactics at scale after learning how unaware our target market is that in-content shopping solutions exist and how they apply to their use case.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Intelus Agency?

We needed a professional agency to manage our LinkedIn ad accounts for us to maximize the paid social ads we had and target the right business customers. Our goal was to increase sign ups for our free Loop Player and attract more followers.

SOLUTION

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

We searched online for LinkedIn agencies online and shortlisted four. After interviewing them, we chose this agency based on their focus on LinkedIn and expertise on the platform.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

After a kick-off meeting, they helped us identify the best audiences to target on LinkedIn. They then created a full-funnel campaign on the platform, wrote our copy, and targeted the right businesses audiences. They used a Slack to coordinate and were always responsive via email if needed.

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

We worked with an account manager and another LinkedIn marketing specialist.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

We successfully launched our ad account and increased LinkedIn page followers and sign ups for our Loop Player.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was easy. There were a number of Zoom calls and emails to get everything in place. They also set up a Slack channel which was helpful for quick messages.

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

Intelus' communication throughout the campaign was great. I really liked the full-funnel approach and LinkedIn expertise they brought.

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

Finding the right audiences was a concern at first. Once we communicated this to them, they found the right business audiences for us and continued to refine those.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Co-Founder at shingle, a software platform that connects architectural engineering firms with remote architectural engineering consultants.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Intelus Agency?

I knew that posting on our LinkedIn page is really important, but I never had the time to create and post content. Intelus Agency's service was a perfect fit because they create and post the content for us, plus they use analytics to adjust the messaging and strategy for better results.

SOLUTION

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

We were specifically looking for a person or an agency that specialized in LinkedIn content creation & posting. We found Intelus Agency through a Google search and signed up for a free trial, which included 3 custom newsfeed posts, an audit of my personal LinkedIn profile and company page, and a holistic strategy that was laid out like a funnel.

In the first call with the CEO, Chris, I knew we were going to move forward because I couldn't find anyone else that does what they do to the degree we needed.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

After I signed up, they were really quick about getting us started. They sent over an onboarding form to capture some details about our business and target audience, then they spent an hour with us on a video call going through the approach in detail.

After the kickoff meeting, they had my profile & company page edits drafted and my first round of content in less than 2 weeks. It took me almost no time to approve the content with very minor edits. Once the posting started, within a week or so I already noticed an increase in profile views, engagement on our posts, and activity on our company page and website.

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

I worked with Chris, the CEO in the beginning stages, then the Account Managers Pablo and Sebastian, after the campaign was off the ground. Everyone was very helpful, responsive and eager to keep us in the loop and make sure we were happy with the service.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We noticed a significant increase in profile views, company page and website activity and engagement on our posts. We noticed an increase in signups on our website, but with our limited in-house resources, we didn't have the sufficient systems in place for attributing leads, however we do believe many of these came from the organic content marketing that Intelus Agency did for us.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They sent us content every week on Friday and stayed several weeks ahead in case we got busy and didn't have time to approve the latest round. Our Account Manager Sebastian regularly reached out to ask for our feedback and make sure we were very happy with the service.

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

I love how much of an interest they truly took in shingle. They really cared to understand our business model and our ideal customers and craft content strategies that worked well for attracting and engaging our prospects.

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

I can't think of anything that could be improved other than a lack of time an resources on our end to provide Intelus with more guidance about our priorities and messaging. The only reason why we paused the service for a few months is because we are raising our first round of funding and we need to burn less cash going in. We plan on picking back up with the service in a few months.
