Respect.Studio

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CEO of Plann Ads, a digital advertising company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Respect.Studio?

As our company focuses on marketing strategy, we were looking for an agency that could assist us in execution. In particular, we needed help with LinkedIn targeting, search algorithms, and best practices to reach leads from different industries. 

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to attract long-term B2B clients to our existing digital strategies.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

They were a referral by our business partner, so we were confident in their reliability.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Respect.Studio handles daily LinkedIn outreach; onboarding new clients; analyzing upstream data; building lists of targeted people, and refining the messaging pitch. They also send reports and make suggestions on process optimization.

What was the team composition?

Our core team includes a project manager and several account managers. We’re in contact with the CEO directly when we need strategic decisions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve seen a tenfold increase in our client's pipeline compared to the previous period. The conversion rate of those leads is about 40%, which is quite large.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Despite the difference in time zones, the Respect.Studio team is online almost all the time. That makes the work process fast and flexible. They offer a clear workflow system with deadlines and easy tracking.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Respect.Studio’s deep understanding of all digital marketing is impressive. Their ability to also assist us in content marketing and social media marketing is a big advantage.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, everything is great.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the chief of marketing at Prospectors.io, a gaming company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Respect.Studio?

We needed help with lead generation and social media marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They worked on lead generation via LinkedIn, progressing through a shortlist of potential candidates.

What is the team composition?

I was in contact with the project manager, the CEO from time to time, and one other person.

How did you come to work with Respect.Studio?

They were recommended by a mutual friend.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $300–$400 every month.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from April until June 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They provided a weekly report with the number of leads and contacts they were working with. Out of hundreds of contacts they produced, we got some replies. These leads were formatted in a good style where I could just click and reply to an interested party. We also had a conference and were booking some meetings (a few of which were international) at a pretty good rate.

How did Respect.Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They reached out on a weekly basis and were responsive, sometimes even drawing our attention to specific leads in the middle of the week. We weren’t expecting this and greatly appreciated it, seeing as we wouldn’t have checked the leads that frequently on our own.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re really price efficient.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there’s nothing they need to improve right now. We plan to use them for different services in the future.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They find your targets, but you have to narrow the pool on your own beforehand because you could target too wide of an audience.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the CEO of ServReality, a leading VR and AI software development company. We produce robust virtual world software, AI apps, and outsourcing services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Respect.Studio?

We needed alternative marketing solutions to find clients in the B2B sector. Our services are specific, so standard social media marketing doesn't work. We knew that Respect.Studio worked with LinkedIn, and wanted to try marketing there.

What were your goals for this project?

Our main goal was to attract a stable flow of leads that converted into clients.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

My partner advised them and ran a LinkedIn lead generation campaign with them.

Describe the project in detail.

We discussed our possible target audience and strategy for the LinkedIn campaign. They wrote a script that covered every benefit of my business and gently motivated leads to continue the conversation through a call. We used A/B testing to assess many approaches and find the one that worked best.


What was the team composition?

They provided a small team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

During the time Respect.Studio worked with my profile, we reached nearly 100 potential clients who were interested in our services. Our sales rate increased by nearly 20% and we made some high-quality connections for the future.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our communication was smooth. They worked directly with my profile and sent daily updates and reports. If I had any questions, someone from the team reacted quickly, consulted me, or made the required changes. They were always online, even outside working hours.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was definitely impressed by the results they produced. We had never considered LinkedIn as such a powerful channel for B2B marketing.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It would be great if they could also advertise on social media.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm co-founder and travel expert at BookMeFirstClass, a flight management company. We help individuals book first-class and business class tickets at a discount.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Respect.Studio?

We were considering LinkedIn as an alternative to a standard PPC channel. We didn't have a clear request, so we needed an expert to guide us through our lead generation strategy.

What were your goals for this project?

Given the price, we expected this channel to bring us at least one client a month. That would give us a positive ROI. Creating this channel would diversify our marketing and make us less dependent on the PPC channel.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found this vendor on Upwork. Other agencies work in the same niche, but they lacked the narrow focus on LinkedIn that Respect.Studio had. That was one of the main factors.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

We initially needed a strategy, but the scope of the work broadened later. They built lists, managed our LinkedIn and Instagram pages, contacted potential clients, and performed cold email outreach. 

What was the team composition?

At first, we worked directly with the CEO and our account manager. As we increased the scope of the work, we added two team members: a social media manager and a project manager. I worked directly with the team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It was hard for us to see results since we failed to identify the right target audience. Once we changed our focus to the next group of potential clients, however, we immediately started to receive leads. Our ROI became positive within two months.

We started to scale up with email marketing, social media marketing, and more LinkedIn profile targeting. LinkedIn is now one of our main channels, significantly exceeding our expectations.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We communicate with the team directly through email, and usually receive replies within a few hours, even though we have a big time difference. The CEO always stays in touch on WhatsApp, and we have weekly or monthly calls to discuss the scaling and optimization of the campaign.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their friendly approach and deep knowledge of LinkedIn are a big plus.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Adding more services, such as PPC management, would be beneficial. It's always more convenient to work with one digital vendor. 

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the marketing director for a third-party logistics provider across North America.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Respect.Studio?

To manage the president's profile and promote our branding across the LinkedIn, focusing on a highly-targeted audience.

What were your goals for this project?

To engage and build credibility around our brand and services. We also wanted to broaden our network of followers in our sphere of logistics.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found them on Fiverr and slowly got to know and trust them. We eventually met with the owner while visiting Ukraine last winter.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

They managed all the social campaigns we run on LinkedIn, while suggesting strategies and adjusting them along the way to better suit our needs.

What was the team composition?

There is a small but efficient team of around three people. It's sufficient considering the excellent level of communication we maintain.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Within the first seven days, we'd seen a positive ROI of over 25%. People are now engaging at a faster rate.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

There was excellent workflow and excellent communication levels, with weekly reports supplied every Monday.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The creative solutions they presented to us for an otherwise too complicated and underutilized social network were excellent. Previously, we were sharing content without any ROI, but now we benefit from our presence on LinkedIn.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Nothing specific. They keep me busy responding to all the professionals engaging with our profile and asking questions.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm CEO of a creative video production agency called Blue Carrot. Our portfolio of over 200 stories includes explainer videos, promo videos, commercials, corporate videos, e-learning, and cartoons. Located in Lviv, Ukraine, our team of passionate artists tells stories and crafts design solutions, elevating brands to a global audience.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Respect.Studio?

Before engaging Respect.Studio, we were mostly working within our national market, which had certain limitations. As a result, we sought to expand our client base with international leads, mainly targeting the U.S. market.

What were your goals for this project?

Our ultimate goal was to diversify our clientele portfolio with western companies; in other words, we wanted to get projects from the U.S. We needed a digital strategy as well as an alternative approach to those prospects.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

A local IT outsourcing company recommended them to us. At the time, Respect.Studio was also helping them develop marketing campaigns for U.S. audiences. Ultimately, the communication between our teams and their expertise were the deciding factors for us.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Initially, we had a series of meetings where we educated them on our business model and possible target audiences. They worked closely with us to narrow down our audience and create a more personalized approach. Next, they developed a strategy to contact and deliver offers to our targets; the team was involved in writing the script. We used LinkedIn as our main channel, later adding email marketing as an alternative venture. They led our outbound marketing campaigns and continue to front our strategies.

What was the team composition?

We work directly with an account manager, a project manager, and their CEO.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since the beginning of their involvement, we’ve significantly diversified our clientele portfolio and saw leads within the first month of the campaign. We’ve been able to successfully shift our focus to the U.S. market and have completely redesigned our service in response.

Although LinkedIn campaigns are becoming increasingly common, Respect.Studio developed a unique approach that helped us stand out from our competition. So far, we’ve built several thousand connections within LinkedIn alone. As we generated more dialogues with these new contacts, we’ve gained about 400 unique leads and have converted a large number of them into current and future projects.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They’ve assigned a project manager who is in charge of all campaign changes, but we also have access to their CEO in case we need to brainstorm new ideas. Additionally, we maintain daily contact with the account manager who sends us lead updates and provides weekly/monthly reports on our campaign performance.

In terms of communication, we use Skype and Google Spreadsheets to coordinate and manage our workflow. They’re always open to feedback and have already implemented a few of our suggestions.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

What makes them unique is that they have an alternative approach to outbound marketing campaigns. Unlike classic marketing agencies, they try to find direct lines to our target company’s decision makers. I’m particularly impressed by their LinkedIn marketing tactics. Not to mention, they’re responsive; they typically reply within minutes and apply our feedback as soon as possible. This allows us to remain agile during our campaigns.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It would be nice if they specialized in other channels besides LinkedIn and email marketing. This would allow us to further scale our marketing efforts.

They were supposed to generate leads for our software development company 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We hired RS, hoping to boost our sales pipeline, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. Over the course of several months, there were no measurable outcomes that demonstrated any real progress or success.

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

The project was severely impacted by a lack of expertise and ineffective management. Despite several weeks of work and numerous strategy sessions, the team failed to engage even a single qualified prospect. Their poor execution and lack of industry understanding directly disrupted our 2025 growth projections, causing significant setbacks. It was clear they lacked the skills necessary to deliver meaningful results, and unfortunately, this engagement cost us valuable time and momentum.

• Email or Messaging App

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

Respect.Studio helped us with the research and segmentation of the target audience. They prepared all materials for the outreach strategy, from profiles, messaging, and content to smaller optimisations during the initial campaign. Also, they provided thorough reports and recommendations for us. As a result, we had a clear social selling process set up with additional guides to use in the future.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Even though the first months were slower, they constantly delivered materials on their side and provided feedback to optimise our sales and marketing process. During the campaign, we got several hot and interested leads, which are now being processed by our team.

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

Their communication is on point. We had regular check-ins with the project manager and team members when we needed specific guidance. I’d say they are very responsive and gave us a clear understanding of each part of the campaign.

What was your primary form of communication with Respect.Studio?

Virtual Meeting

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

Respect.Studio is very diligent about its processes, and they make sure to communicate all changes and actionable items clearly. They quickly respond and adjust to changes based on the results. The team always took into account our ideas/previous experience with clients to make sure the strategy was intact.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Respect.Studio could have done differently?

We had some concerns when the results were fluctuating from week to week, but the team was proactive in communicating the changes. So, we had a clear understanding of what’s been done and how it impacted the results.
