Republic Marketing

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the founder and CEO of an e-commerce business based in Birmingham, UK

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Republic Marketing, and what were your goals?

Republic Marketing launched and managed our PPC (Google Ads) & paid social campaigns.

SOLUTION

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

We wanted to work with an agency that wasn’t using a cookie cutter approach to save on cost. Their proposal stood out the most among competition and I felt that they understand our challenges.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

The project was running ads with ROAs of 7.0 and above to help us pre-sell new models and push the older stock. We had a few coordination and discovery meetings to help them create the audiences, key messages and creatives. Afterwards, we held bi-weekly and then monthly calls.

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

Two in total. We have mainly worked with Sajad, but Igor was also on a few calls as their PPC specialist.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

RM’s team took their time to learn the ins and outs of our business. I believe that this was to ensure that we hit and exceed our ROAS targets.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

From the very start, I had access to an Asana board to check real-time updates on campaign design and implementation. They were very organised compared to some bigger agencies I have previously worked with.

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

Being growth and results-oriented. They were also well-researched and knew what they were talking about.

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

One campaign went live two days later than anticipated but we ended up getting better creatives which in the end were well worth the wait.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the PR manager and brand ambassador of a womenswear clothing brand based in London, UK.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Republic Marketing?

We were looking to receive support with managing one of our social media accounts (Instagram) through content creation, strategy and community management. We also wanted to run Google Search Ads for certain products for a specific period of time to assess the impact on sales. We started with a good-fit call, followed by a discovery workshop to fine tune out the details of the project. The onboarding took around 10 days.

SOLUTION

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

We were looking for an agile digital marketing agency that understands the current social media trends & can help us scale our operation. We initially reached out to them on LinkedIn.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We were looking to get support with managing one of our social media accounts (Instagram) through content creation, strategy and community management. We also wanted to run Google Search Ads for certain products for a specific period to assess the impact on sales figures.

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

We mainly worked with Sajad & Cristina, the co-founders of Republic but other people were sometimes involved during the meetings, depending on the specific need of the task in hand.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Overall, I’m very happy with results. We have seen an improvement in engagement rate (+40%) on our Instagram account. Content planning and scheduling has also become more structured and efficient. With Google Ads, we gathered a lot of valuable data and the results for the first few months was better than we anticipated. Based on the results, we may include more PPC Ad spend in our next year budget.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They are organised, transparent, on-time and don’t overpromise and under-deliver which is a great plus in this industry. We were very impressed with how much they researched our niche within the first few months. They really do go an extra mile.

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

Clear and efficient communication, expectation management and focus. I’d say they put quite a lot of attention and care into our account. They were quite proactive and provided very useful suggestions which it was quite different from other agencies I have worked with in the past.

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

I can’t think of anything in particular. At first we weren’t sure about the price as it was slightly above our budget, but the final quality and their dedication made it worth it.
