BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m co-founder of Elogic Commerce. We’re a company in Estonia but have a few offices in Ukraine and Western Europe. We provide digital development services, such as digital transformation, e-commerce, and sales development. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with NORDLEAF Digital?

We’re a coding company but don’t have a social media presence. As a result, we’ve hired NORDLEAF to provide us with digital marketing and implementation services. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, NORDLEAF checked our social media accounts and worked on figuring out how we could translate them to the market. Since then, they’ve provided us with writers, paid advertisers, specialists, and strategy consultants to manage our digital marketing campaigns. 

They provide most of the content for our social media pages, but we provide the technical content. The team does photo editing, new logo creation, branding, and banner ads. On top of that, they’ve produced a five-minute promotional video for our company — a mix of videotape, animation, and computer graphics. 

Moreover, NORDLEAF has interviewed our followers and us for content generation. They then post the content on our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts as well as on our website. On top of that, their resources respond to social media users and connect them to our website.

For PPC campaigns, we tell them what we want to achieve, our target market, and price points. From there, they create PPC ads and post them on Facebook. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve interacted with about five people from their team. 

How did you come to work with NORDLEAF Digital?

Our company found NORDLEAF through a referral. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $25,000–$30,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The partnership started in May 2022, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

For success metrics, our main goal is to attract more leads to our company through our social media pages. So far, we’ve generated 80 leads — eight times more than our previous leads of only 10. Overall, it’s been amazing working with NORDLEAF. 

How did NORDLEAF Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Our communication with NORDLEAF is easy and transparent. We have group chats and conduct weekly planning meetings to report on our activities. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re good at creating social media strategies. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They must provide more proposals to their clients and offer more solutions to their problems.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Provide a defined scope of work and tell them the needs of your company. Work closely with the NORDLEAF team to achieve great results.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Our Instagram grew from 10,000 followers to 18,000 in about six months. This became possible thanks to high-quality and interesting content, constant infusion of funds into advertising and cool knowledge of social network algorithms. You can also highlight the growth of the Facebook page by 1000 people in six months.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Every week on Monday, the results of the previous week were posted in the chat and plans for the next were written. Also, once a month the project manager sent the results of the month and there was a call based on the results, where feedback was given regarding the next plans.

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

I really liked the communication with the team. All tasks were solved very quickly and qualitatively, always with a smile.
