RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within a few months we had coverage in several relevant business and finance publications, and we started getting inquiries from prospects who specifically mentioned reading about us somewhere. That kind of word-of-mouth signal was something we had not seen before working with them.

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

The team was very responsive and did not need much hand-holding from our side. Deadlines were respected and we never felt like we were waiting on them.

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

 It is hard to pinpoint one thing when the overall experience just delivered what we needed. We got the coverage, the messaging landed well. When work is done at that level, there is not much left to single out as surprising.

Nothing stood out to us during the whole process.

OBA PR developed a strategy focused on getting our publication mentioned and linked from sources that AI models treat as authoritative. They worked on positioning our editorial voice in a way that made us more quotable and referenceable across the web.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We started noticing our publication being surfaced in AI-generated answers within about three to four months, particularly around digital marketing topics.

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

Deadlines were hit, responses were fast, and it never felt like we were managing them. Honestly pretty low-maintenance for an agency.

What was your primary form of communication with OBA PR?

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

They were one of the very few agencies we found who actually understood that getting cited by AI systems requires a different approach than classic SEO. That strategic clarity from the start saved us a lot of time.

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

Everything went well and there were no conflicts or friction on either side.

OBA PR built a regional media strategy targeting trade publications and business outlets in our priority markets, handled all the outreach and content, and kept us out of the weeds so we could focus on operations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We went from having no recognized presence in East Africa to closing our first freight forwarding partnership there within four months. The volume of RFQs coming from Southeast Asian cargo agents nearly doubled compared to the previous period, and we stopped losing deals early in the funnel because prospects already knew our capabilities before we picked up the phone.

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

Responsive and organised.

What was your primary form of communication with OBA PR?

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

They understood the freight world well enough to pitch angles that actually resonate with cargo and logistics buyers.

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

 Nothing we'd change honestly, they delivered on everything they promised.

They came in, figured out what made our store worth talking about, and built a media strategy around that. They handled all the outreach, found the right angles for different publications, and kept things moving consistently. Along the way they also worked on our founder's positioning, which ended up with him becoming a Forbes member and it’s something we genuinely didn't expect when we first signed on.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Media coverage opened up supplier and brand partnership conversations that we couldn't crack before, and influencer collabs got a lot easier to close once we had something credible to point to. Our founder becoming a Forbes member on top of all that was something we never saw coming.

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

No chasing, no missed deadlines, no silence, they just got on with it.

What was your primary form of communication with OBA PR?

Virtual Meeting

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

Getting our founder into Forbes honestly. Most agencies stay in their lane with press lists and pitches, but OBA PR always thinks about our long-term credibility, and that made a real difference.

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

Looking back there's really nothing we'd change. We're already thinking about what the next engagement looks like.

• We wanted media coverage that actually reflected who we are, not just generic mentions that could apply to any agency.
• We were hoping to get in front of tech founders and marketing managers.

OBA PR dug into our positioning first, which we appreciated because they didn't just start firing off pitches. They built out a media strategy around our niche, secured editorial placements, and kept a steady outreach rhythm over several months that slowly but clearly moved the needle on how we showed up online.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within the first few months we saw a noticeable jump in organic traffic, somewhere around 35 to 40 percent, and started getting inbound inquiries from founders who'd seen us mentioned in industry publications. We hadn't had that kind of cold inbound before, so it was a real signal something was working.

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

We never felt like we were chasing them for updates, they were always a step ahead and flagged things before they became issues.

What was your primary form of communication with OBA PR?

Virtual Meeting

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

They actually understood the creative industry context, not just PR mechanics. A lot of agencies treat every client the same way, but OBA PR got that design studios speak differently and adjusted the narrative accordingly. That specificity made the coverage feel authentic rather than generic.

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

Everything clicked pretty naturally and we'd go back to them without hesitation.

OBA PR developed a full PR strategy for us, got us placed in several credible digital publications, handled press release writing and distribution, and helped shape how we tell our story to the public. They took the time to understand what we do as a charitable NGO before crafting anything, which really showed in the quality of the content.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within about three months, we saw a noticeable uptick in website traffic — roughly 40% more organic visits — and secured placements in over 8 media outlets. We also had two new institutional partners reach out directly after reading about us, which was a big win for an NGO like ours.

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

They were genuinely easy to work with. Deadlines were met, updates came proactively, and whenever we had a question or needed a change, they responded quickly — usually within a day. It felt less like a vendor relationship and more like a collaborative one.

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

What stood out most was how well they understood the nuance of communicating for a mission-driven, charitable organization. They didn't treat us like just another client — they actually cared about getting the message right, and that made a real difference.

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

It's difficult to think of anything significant to flag — the team delivered on everything they promised and communication was always clear.

We ran a 3-month campaign with them. They started by getting a solid grip on our messaging — what we do, who we're for, why it matters — and then built the outreach plan from there. On the deliverables side: two press releases, a few thought leadership articles placed under our founder's name, and guaranteed editorial coverage in Forbes and Yahoo! Finance. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Organic traffic was up around 35% by the end of the three months, and we landed 5 confirmed editorial placements including Forbes. The domain authority improvement was actually faster than I expected — noticeable within about 60 days of the first articles going live. The most tangible result was a 20% jump in course sign-ups the month the Forbes piece dropped. That one was hard to ignore.

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

Pretty smooth overall. Deadlines were met consistently and when we had questions or requested changes, they got back to us quickly. Nothing felt like it was slipping or being forgotten. Communication was clear without being overly formal. 

What was your primary form of communication with OBA PR?

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

The media connections. Getting editorial coverage in outlets like Forbes isn't something most agencies can actually pull off — they did it, and it wasn't sponsored content either. It was real, unsponsored placement, which made a visible difference in how people perceived us. 

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

More mid-campaign check-ins would have been helpful. A brief weekly update email would go a long way. But that’s just my two cents!

They handled everything from strategy to execution — messaging, press releases, media pitching, and placement outreach. Mainly focused on publications and communities where indie authors actually spend time. We had a consistent rhythm of pitches going out and regular check-ins to keep things aligned.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Still ongoing, but we've seen more authors reaching out who mentioned finding us through coverage. Inbound inquiries have picked up noticeably since the campaign started. The brand is getting in front of the right people, which was the whole point.

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

Very responsive — never felt like I was chasing anyone. Deadlines were met consistently and when I had last-minute input, they worked it in without making it a big deal. Communication was straightforward and didn't waste my time.

They actually understood the indie author world, which isn't a given with PR agencies. The messaging felt native to the community, not like it was written by someone googling the industry for the first time.

A quicker mid-month update would be nice — just a short pulse check between the monthly reports. Minor thing though, overall the experience has been solid.

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

We came to OBA PR without a clear structure in how we present ourselves, so the main focus was to figure that out and build a direction we can actually follow.

They helped us shape our brand messaging, understand how to position ourselves better, and guided us on where and how we should show up — both in media and online. There was also a focus on improving how we appear in search and newer AI-driven platforms.

Overall, it was less about one-off tasks and more about setting a foundation we can build on going forward.
