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

What impressed us most was Mediahead's ability to combine analytical PPC precision with a creative approach to brand campaigns. They don't just 'run ads'—the team dives deep into the product, builds segmentation strategies, and finds unconventional solutions, such as the advent calendar that proves its effectiveness year after year. The quality of influencer marketing work also stands out: the selection of opinion leaders, the WOM-effect mechanics, and native product integration delivered an exceptionally low cost per engagement. The team thinks like a business partner, not just a contractor.

Overall, we are fully satisfied with our collaboration. If there is one area for future growth, it would be even more granular per-influencer reporting, specifically the breakdown of Stories vs. Feed performance. This is more of a future wish than a criticism—the current quality of work meets the highest standards.

Content published under the campaign hashtag accumulated an estimated 40,000–60,000 views in total.
