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

We engaged Pangolin as a strategic execution partner for a high-visibility UNICEF climate campaign. Our mandate was to translate a climate communication brief into a performance-ready digital engine without compromising narrative integrity. Pangolin operated as an extension of our team, taking NCCDC’s strategic direction and turning it into testable, conversion-focused journeys across Meta and YouTube. They built a dual-narrative campaign framework anchored in youth identity and efficacy, deployed it in English and Hindi across Tier II and Tier III markets, and set up continuous optimisation sprints that balanced reach, relevance, and cost efficiency. Throughout the project, they stayed tightly aligned with both our internal team and UNICEF stakeholders, keeping everyone decision-ready with clear performance reporting. 
Key Deliverables:

•  Behavioral segmentation strategy and audience targeting framework
• Dual-language creative production (English + Hindi) tailored for priority youth clusters in Tier II/III India
• Performance media strategy with an iterative testing and optimisation roadmap
• Weekly sprint reports with concrete, data-backed optimisation recommendations
• Landing page friction audit with conversion-focused guidance
• Post-campaign analysis with segment-level insights to inform future climate campaigns 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Pangolin delivered what we needed under tight timelines and close client scrutiny. We hit the 55,000-install target within the campaign window, reduced cost-per-click by over 60%, and improved cost-per-install by about 18%, while finishing roughly 19% under budget.

Equally important, they left us with a repeatable system. The segmentation logic, narrative testing structure, and optimisation protocols they developed now feed into our broader climate communication playbook, beyond this single UNICEF engagement. 

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

Their project management matched the reality of a client-facing, high-stakes campaign. Weekly check-ins were structured and focused on decisions, not just updates. They flagged risks early, came with clear options and trade-offs, and kept both NCCDC and UNICEF stakeholders aligned. When narrative shifts or audience pivots were needed, they moved quickly without sacrificing rigor.

What was your primary form of communication with Pangolin Marketing?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their ability to think like strategists and execute like a performance team was impressive. Every creative and media decision was tied to a clear conversion hypothesis, and every optimisation was backed by segment-level data rather than opinion. They treat performance marketing as system design, not just media buying, which is exactly what a program like Meri LiFE needed.

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

The engagement ran smoothly overall. If anything, we would have welcomed even more proactive thinking on post-campaign retention and nurture journeys for the acquired users, although that was largely beyond the original scope.

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

We came to Pangolin at a clear inflection point. Following our Series A, with proven product-market fit in core markets, the priority was building a structured GTM motion and product marketing foundation to support our next phase of growth.

The goal was to move from founder-led sales to a repeatable, scalable revenue engine across three geographies. Pangolin began with a full market mapping exercise: competitor analysis across DataRobot, H2O.ai, Dataiku, SAS, and AutomationEdge.

Development of buyer personas across six audience types including BFSI decision-makers, data scientists, IT leads, and compliance officers. And a messaging hierarchy that balanced technical authority with business outcome clarity. From that foundation, they built across two parallel tracks: GTM strategy and product marketing execution.

They mapped a content-led demand generation funnel specific to the 9-12 month BFSI buying cycle, and developed an SEO and GEO strategy covering both traditional search and AI-driven discovery platforms. On the product marketing side, they built out a full collateral suite to support our growing sales team across geographies. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

he most immediate impact was on sales conversations. With battle cards, persona-specific messaging, and explainer videos in place, prospects were coming into conversations having already engaged with our content.

Our US sales lead reported that video-supported outreach significantly improved meeting conversion rates, with context established well before the first call. The Collections Agent narrative became a standalone sales asset, giving our team a concrete, outcome-led entry point into conversations with banking and insurance prospects rather than leading with platform architecture. 

The thought leadership articles published under Suman's byline established a visible point of view on AI governance in regulated industries, which matters in a market where buyers evaluate credibility before they evaluate product.

On the organic side, SEO content has started driving traffic from industry-specific search terms, and the localized campaigns across the US, India, and South Africa are running with territory-appropriate messaging rather than generic global copy. 

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

Pangolin managed a large, multi-workstream engagement with strong coordination across time zones.

Weekly syncs kept deliverables on track, and their project documentation meant nothing fell through the gaps across a team of 6-10 people working simultaneously on different outputs. What stood out was their ability to hold strategic direction under the pressure of tactical requests.

When we needed rapid turnarounds for event materials, they delivered without dropping quality on the longer-cycle work.

When our internal feedback cycles stretched timelines, they adjusted without losing momentum.

They also pushed back when it mattered. On positioning, they challenged us to make harder choices about who we were speaking to and what we were not claiming. That discipline shows up in the clarity of the output. 

What was your primary form of communication with Pangolin Marketing?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their willingness to engage with the technical depth of our product before writing a single word. Most content agencies would have produced generic enterprise AI copy. Pangolin spent serious time understanding the platform, the compliance requirements of our buyers, and the specific reasons why regulated institutions make purchasing decisions differently than other enterprise buyers.

The result is collateral that sounds like it was written by someone who understands BFSI, not someone who Googled it. That specificity is what makes the battle cards and persona narratives actually usable in a sales conversation. 

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

They need to build on their skillsets for developing in marketing automation platforms like HubSpot. Though they were able to collaborate with another team very effectively. It would have been a lot easier for us if that skillset was available at Pangolin.

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

We partnered with Pangolin's core team to develop our revenue and outreach strategy from the ground up. They helped us identify opportunities in our service structure, offered suggestions on ways to present our content while being mindful of social media restrictions, and defined clear packages for several offerings. Together, we built a flexible revenue model that protects open access for less-resourced audiences while creating pathways for institutional partnerships. Their team trained us to craft messaging that maintains our values while navigating platform restrictions creatively. Throughout the engagement, their communication was proactive and empathetic, they often anticipated our needs before we articulated them.

Key deliverables:

Service packaging & positioning
Tiered pricing and feminist revenue model
Messaging frameworks for social media
Content and outreach strategy
Impact measurement and true cost revenue tracker

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We now have a strategy to consider to expand our reach while staying true to our mission. Pangolin delivered clear frameworks making our offerings more accessible and compelling for both NGOs and institutional buyers. The pricing model they developed provides us with a roadmap for revenue stability while protecting access for our primary audiences, i.e. NGOs and community-based organisations. The frameworks have helped us learn approaches and sharpened messaging to engage audiences we didn’t reach before. Following this engagement, we've brought Pangolin on board again to implement some of these strategies and reach new audience segments.

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

Pangolin was a true partner throughout. Deadlines were consistently met, they handled pivots smoothly, and communication was always transparent. The team welcomed our feedback and adapted their approach to fit our nonprofit's reality and pace.

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

Their deep understanding of the nonprofit sector, particularly around sensitive content like SRHR, stood out immediately. They engaged thoughtfully in complex conversations about equity and access. Their work balanced strategic rigour with genuine care for our mission, and we felt we were collaborating with people who truly understood what we're working toward.

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

More structured post-implementation support for tracking metrics would have been helpful, though their responsiveness throughout made it easy to reach out when we needed guidance.

We engaged Pangolin just as we were preparing to launch GM Bandhan which is our loyalty platform for trade professionals. While we had the mechanics of the platform in place we wanted a unifying story, a reason for belief that could emotionally resonate with electricians, retailers, and distributors across India.

We wanted them to help us rethink what loyalty looks like in a market where cashback is everywhere? They were brought in not just to execute, but to help us frame the problem, build the emotional engine, and create a long-term loyalty ecosystem that goes beyond transactional engagement.

Key Deliverables

• Brand positioning and narrative rooted in cultural insight
• Messaging frameworks tailored to electricians, retailers, and distributors
• Campaign identity
• Short-form ad films for digital and retail engagement
• Retail activation kits including posters, QR standees, and counter tools 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The campaign has launched sucessfully across markets and the 'aur milega' tag line has already resonnated well with the influencers. The simplicity of the campaign has resulted in more downloads (over 3,000 app downloads in 2 weeks of the launch). Moreover the 'How to use video' has ensured the consumers understand the process well and are able to complete the whole registeration process seamlessly without having to connect with customer support, therby reduing the load on customer care team

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

Pangolin understood that in our category brand loyalty is fragile and helped us step back and figure out what makes trade professionals stay loyal in a price-sensitive and high-churn industry.  We were struggling to figure out a narrative that electricians and retailers remember when the next brand offers a better deal. The team has built a campaign that could scale across business units, channel realities, and cultural contexts. Overall, they're extremely easy to work with. 

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

No, we are satisfied with the way the engagement went.

Pangolin was referred by an external partner to help translate climate intent into measurable participation. The mandate was to position Meri LiFE as the default entry point for youth climate action by engineering a path of least resistance from curiosity to commitment. The team used behavioral segmentation, multilingual creative, and iterative experiments to surface the most effective identity-based and efficacy-based triggers.

Key Deliverables:

Campaign strategy and narrative framework (identity, belonging, collective efficacy)
Multilingual creative production tailored to cultural and regional nuance
Creative testing & optimization roadmap
Audience targeting & segmentation plan
Landing page friction audit & optimization guidance
Weekly performance reporting & insights

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We hit the 55,000-install target within the campaign window while reducing cost per click by 60% and improving cost per install by 18%. Beyond efficiency, the work shifted category perception to a movement people identify with. That identity shift sets up stronger retention and word-of-mouth compounding the impact beyond the campaign.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Pangolin Marketing to accomplish?

• Design a symptom-first buyer journey that bridges the decision-making gap. Our primary audience is Tier II and Tier III city business owners and they often struggle to articulate business problems in software terms.
• Help building a self-serve, scalable platform that mirrors our in-house consulting workflow. While there were software discovery mechanisms in the market, none matched the diagnostic depth our consulting team delivered. The challenge was to embed this consultative, diagnostic approach into a digital discovery platform for SMEs.

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

We partnered with Pangolin to transform Software@Works human-led consulting service into a scalable, product-first platform that helps Indian SMEs diagnose their software needs independently. While there were discovery tools in the market, they lacked the consultative nuance and the diagnostic ability to translate vague, symptom-led problems into precise software recommendations. Pangolin helped us with this problem statement by leading strategy, design, and architecture of a guided product selector that mirrors the intuition of an experienced consultant. Their work spanned user research, platform UX design, system logic, and interface development ensuring that the experience felt intuitive, trustworthy, and non-technical even for first-time software buyers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. Key Deliverables: Product Strategy Persona Definition & User Flow Mapping UX Design & Copywriting Frontend Wireframes & UI Design Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) Migration-Ready System

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although we are early in our journey, we’ve already seen three shifts. First, internally, our team now has a much clearer articulation of the buyer's perspective, the logic isn’t just in our heads anymore. Second, even in pilot environments, the guided flow has helped us speed up lead qualification. We’re now aligning vendors better using diagnostic categories and rationale-backed recommendations.

Pangolin helped us move from a loose idea to an asset that we can hopefuly grow and help transform our customers digitization journies with. That’s a huge leap.

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

Pangolin operated like an extension of our team. They set clear checkpoints, managed scope tightly, and kept momentum across all phases of research, UX, logic building, and interface design. They responded quickly to shifting needs, adapted timelines without compromising deliverables, and stayed deeply involved throughout.

What was your primary form of communication with Pangolin Marketing?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What impressed us most was Pangolin’s insistence on solving the business problem before touching design. They spent the first few weeks stress-testing our assumptions, mapping buyer psychology, and basically translating our manual consulting into a repeatable digital flow.

They brought in ERD diagrams, persona matrices, and logic flows that were way more thorough than anything we’d imagined. Every screen was anchored in a deeper strategic insight. That front-loaded depth made stakeholder alignment so much easier.

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

No significant areas for improvement come to mind. The team delivered what was needed and communicated well throughout.

We brought Pangolin on board to help us solve structural and communication challenges on our corporate website. Our existing site had grown cluttered over time and didn’t reflect the scale or clarity of our offerings. More importantly, we needed a site that could work just as well for our Arabic-speaking clients as it did for English users.The project involved restructuring our site’s information architecture, creating localized and culturally relevant content and building a responsive, dual-orientation website that could function seamlessly in both left-to-right for English and right-to-left in Arabic.Key deliverables included: Website Audit  Content Writing Bilingual Design System UI/UX Design 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

It’s still a bit early to fully quantify the business impact, but we’re already seeing promising signs. Users are spending more time on key pages, and we’ve received positive feedback especially around the Arabic version of the site. That local resonance was important to us, and it’s encouraging to see it landing well. We’re hoping this will translate into stronger lead engagement in the coming months.

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

We were trying to balance the realities of grassroots work with the expectations of institutional buyers. I knew we had something special but what we didn’t have was a way to frame it. We weren’t just selling plates. We were building an ecosystem: forest-led, woman-run, and impact-first. But none of that was landing in a way that made buyers stop and take notice. We brought Pangolin in to help us bridge that gap. From day one, they approached the project with both sharp thinking and genuine respect for the work on the ground. They didn’t try to simplify the story, they helped us structure it. They turned our raw pitch into a strategic brand narrative and built a toolkit that our team and partners could actually use in the field. Key deliverables included: Strategic narrative and value articulation  Video films, logo, website CSR outreach email Brochure 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The way people talk about us changed. Our team feels more confident in how they talk about Rassaa now , whether it’s with a buyer, a funder, or a government partner. We also saw a sharp increase in brochure downloads and more traction on our community storytelling video, which people described as “moving” and “fresh.”

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

We came in at a time when Pangolin was still building a lot of their internal systems — so not everything was perfectly buttoned-up. But to their credit, they were always transparent, communicative, and genuinely committed.

What was your primary form of communication with Pangolin Marketing?

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

Two things stood out. First, the video - it was incredibly sensitively done. No voiceover, no “development speak,” just real moments captured in a way that gave dignity and weight to the work without over-explaining it. That restraint showed maturity. Second, the way they structured our story. They didn’t just romanticize the tribal angle or slap on green labels. They helped us find a narrative that could work in a boardroom. “Tied Together” was a phrase that felt simple but carried our entire ecosystem. That level of insight and creative sharpness was rare.

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

Like I said, they were still growing and refining things when we worked together, so a few processes felt a bit fluid at times. Some parts of the design system took longer than expected, and we’d have liked more proactive check-ins on the web side. We felt like early believers - and I’d happily vouch for them again.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

We saw a marked shift in the quality of our donor interactions. Conversations became sharper, and we no longer had to start from scratch explaining who we are or what we do. Post-campaign, our materials helped unlock interest from institutional funders we hadn’t previously reached. The social media marketing acted as an everyday communication channel for the brand, keeping our story and impact visible to supporters and prospects alike. Internally, the team now has a clear, consistent language to articulate our value, which has improved grant writing, partner communication, and overall stakeholder engagement across the board.

When we engaged Pangolin, our primary need was always-on talent attraction and enterprise-grade credibility in a fast-moving IT staffing market. We asked them to build a social presence that could speak to high-value tech talent who must trust that Anlage can land them the right role quickly, and enterprise HR teams. The key objective of all the efforts to create a dual impact - be able to sign on new business plus attract key talent which helps organisational growth. 

Pangolin set up a dual-track social media engine covering editorial strategy, design, copy, and channel management. They supported us with content calendars, rapid campaign sprints for urgent mandates, community management, and performance reporting. As our positioning evolved, they pivoted messaging to establish Anlage as a global capability centre specialist and updated content pillars and thought leadership accordingly. They also created an annual HR Trends eBook as our flagship thought-leadership asset.

Linkedin Follower Growth - From 17,000 to 140,000+
Impression growth - 288%
Engagement Rate growth - 50-60%
Pipeline impact - Got invited to a few RFQs ranging from smaller engagements to $125m deal value. 

With Pangolin’s support, our content marketing evolved through several strategic messaging shifts and each one tied directly to our business direction and goals. We began by strengthening our ability to attract top talent, knowing that a deeper, more skilled talent pool was essential to delivering on our mission. The result was a surge of inbound interest from highly skilled tech professionals (particularly in AI, data, and cloud) many of whom told us they found us through a carousel or hiring post.

Pangolin then helped us pivot our messaging towards HR and talent acquisition leaders at enterprise clients, positioning us as a credible, high-value partner well before we reached out. The most recent evolution focused on GCC leaders, a critical audience for our growth strategy.

Through this journey, social media shifted from being a peripheral channel to a core business driver that worked behind the scenes to build credibility, keep us top-of-mind with both sides of our market, and ensure the brand carried its own weight in the room even before a conversation began.

Pangolin’s project management has always felt sharp. They’re proactive with updates, and we never had to chase them for progress. They’d often come to us with data on what’s working, suggest adjustments, or share fresh content ideas before we even asked. It felt like they were reading the market with us.

What was your primary form of communication with Pangolin Marketing?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The reason we’ve stayed with them for six years is that they don’t operate like a vendor. They think like owners. They understood very early that in staffing, our real product was not resumes, it was trust at speed and they built our brand around that. What impressed me most was their ability to see around corners. They moved at our pace and helped us build strategic equity in a transactional category.

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

Honestly, over six years of working together, there haven’t been any major gaps.
