Nelson Reids

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the social media coordinator for DAAR Communications, a media group.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nelson Reids?

We needed help with digital and event marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They helped us with the promotion of a lottery that we were launching. We wanted to give out cash prizes to people who have been watching and listening across Nigeria.

At that point, we were also giving out awards to encourage a larger audience to take an interest in our business. They assisted with coordinating that effort as well.

What is the team composition?

They brought in five people to collaborate on the first project. For the second project, there were three people.

How did you come to work with Nelson Reids?

Our CEO introduced me to Nelson Reids.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $10,000-$49,999.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together in February–October 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

There’s been a spike in social media engagement, which reassured us that we had a solid listener base. Google Analytics is judging their performance going forward. They did a great job with the lottery promotion. We got good responses from people across Nigeria and were able to get the brand back to its success from 10-15 years ago.

How did Nelson Reids perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management was superb. Every problem has been solved collectively, not by one person. They shared a lot of ideas. When working on a project, it’s not all about solving the bigger problem. Working with them really opened most of our eyes to our overall business practices. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I know we could pick up any project with them to solve problems and deliver effectively to a global audience. In order to have software at their level, it's essential to have a great team with good ideas. They’re a group of intellectuals.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could've added a few people to the effort. It’s not a big issue as long as the project is completed on time. It doesn’t affect the project going forward, but it does give the project more fine-tuning at the end.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give them the job. They’ll deliver what you want on time.
