BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder and CEO of the direct-to-consumer nutrition company LyfeFuel.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Olifant Digital, and what were your goals?

We were looking for expertise in growing our business through digital marketing strategies both on and off of Amazon using ROI as the primary metric for success.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We selected to work with Olifant because of their data-driven approach to marketing and an honest and transparent outlook about what works and what doesn't based on their experience. I was impressed by their expert knowledge and ability to provide both high-level strategic guidance and a tactical hands-on approach.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

From the beginning we worked primarily with Alex as our main point of contact which was a refreshing approach compared to the typical agency model followed by most digital marketing companies. It made us feel that Alex and his team were truly invested in our success and committed to working through the challenges that we were facing. The primary focus in working with them was to grow our business profitability using Amazon and digital marketing strategies.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We have worked directly with Alex, the agency owner, and a few of his team members that are individually responsible for driving success on the various channels that we were advertising on.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Alex and his team have really gone above and beyond our expectations. They helped navigate some very challenging scenarios including getting our Facebook account reinstated, a full-funnel approach to marketing, and a results-oriented mindset. They've been very flexible to work with us to create a model that is mutually beneficial so that we are aligned in the success and growth of the business.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow has been pretty seamless. We use a few dedicated Slack channels to keep conversations organized and Alex and the team have made themselves available for weekly check-ins. The best part is that they take the initiative to get things done as things arise. Instead of sitting back telling us what to do, they actually do it.

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

I'm impressed with their knowledge and expertise and their straightforward no-nonsense approach to marketing. They have a good sense of what works and have offered up some excellent strategic advice that isn't typically offered by other agencies.

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

The one area they could improve upon would be on the reporting side of the business. They are using multiple KPIs in their decision making and have created some advanced reports but it would be good to drill down into these things a bit more so that we can better track and monitor success in real time. Additionally, locking down a specific time on the calendar each week to check in would be helpful.

SOLUTION

As there was adds already set up on the account there was some data that could assist Alex , however there was still a lot more to do and that i had only covered a fraction of what should be done.

There was results in the first month of starting with Olifant Digital with the account under optimising and it continued to grow further on each month.

The most impressive was the knowledge they had and then the communication using webchat. I found Alex to be very polite and understanding to help me understand a new field which i was not experienced in.

I cant think of any arears they need improving right now.
