BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO of Hello Mary. During the last two years, we had an interest in creating platforms for the California cannabis industry. When we saw that the cannabis industry started to grow and started legalization, we started to create our technology company for B2C sales in the state of California. We are planning to launch our newest product which will connect vendors, dispensaries, and the end-users in California.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with iPapus Agency?

In the cannabis industry, we have some restrictions when it comes to advertising in the market. We wanted to find a great team that could help us with marketing while adhering to regulations.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ivan (Founder) and his team have provided us with targeting, digital marketing, and SEO support. Ivan has worked with us on three projects. He worked on a project for vitamins, and the second project was a government project, and the third project we worked with them on is our B2C project in California.

What is the team composition?

I worked with Ivan (Leader), and in our last project, I think there was a team of about 20 people.

How did you come to work with iPapus Agency?

I was in contact with many teams from places like Estonia, the US, Russia, and Ukraine, but there was nothing that would make us stand out and make us different from the competition. Ivan and iPapus showed us something special and different that would make us stand out. 

SEO is not an easy game and our competitors have spent a lot of money on it. It was very hard to be in competition with them, but iPapus showed us a solution. I found them to be really professional.

How much have you invested in them?

We have spent around $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

I met them in April 2020, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The project was successful, and it helped us solve a problem, and grow as a company. They also helped us get to the top in terms of keyword positioning very quickly. I saw results in one and a half months. We are more than confident that we will continue to grow with their team. I think that in the last year, working with them was one of the best decisions for my site.

How did iPapus Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

In my opinion, one of their strongest skills is project management. Management skills in my opinion are one of the strongest skills that make Ivan stand out. He can participate in the business and he has very smart guys on the team that works together well. Ivan is a professional.

We did brainstorming every week and met through Google Meet. All reports came through email, and we had a group chat through Telegram and WhatsApp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Ivan has done some really interesting ideas and he has changed many things in my business.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We are satisfied with the results and there aren’t any areas for them to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

In my opinion, Ivan is a very strong guy and when I started working with him, we agreed that if someone else from the cannabis industry will ask to work with him, he will reject the project because, in this industry, we are exclusive to them. My advice is if someone is looking to be better than their competitors in their niche, they are the people to go to.
