ROAST provides PPC and SEO services for a global specialty logistics company. The team manages paid search and paid social campaigns, handles technical SEO and content recommendations, and focuses on branding.
ROAST has overachieved every year, resulting in 50% growth in the first year and 100% growth in the second year. The team has invested time in understanding the client's data and signals to optimize campaigns. Moreover, the team's performance marketing mindset and smooth workflow have stood out.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
World Courier, part of Cencora, delivers global specialty logistics for clinical and commercial success. We support supply chains, DCTs, and storage for sensitive products, including cell and gene therapies, ensuring the safe and timely delivery of vital medicines worldwide.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with ROAST?
We hired ROAST to achieve specific revenue goals through paid media and SEO.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
ROAST has been responsible for PPC campaign management, including paid search and paid social. We have provided them a breakdown of the target per channel and at the regional level, based on historical data.
The team also handles SEO from a technical point of view and content creation. Other areas of focus include data and analytics, insights, and branding.
We initially provided ROAST with a media plan, including budgets and targets. The team came back with a set of recommendations, and we could see the optimizations starting to have a positive impact on our overall performance. For SEO, ROAST had a roadmap that we accepted, which included on-site optimizations and organizing the website in a better way.
What is the team composition?
We work with 10 teammates from ROAST.
How did you come to work with ROAST?
We met ROAST through an extensive and complex RFP process, starting with a 30-agency shortlist and culminating in a final pitch alongside three other agencies. ROAST came out of the RFP as the top scorer. The biggest reason we selected ROAST over the three other finalists was the time and effort they put into answering the briefing and how they presented it. Other things, such as their knowledge and feedback from external sources, were also very positive. What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with ROAST in October 2023, and the project is currently under a renegotiation period.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
ROAST has overachieved every year since we started working with them. The team has achieved a 50% growth in the first year and a 100% growth in the second year. We also track the number of deals, opportunities, and MQLs. We were conscious that we would face a transition period, which took six months. After that, ROAST started to achieve their targets every single month. The team invested a significant amount of time in our CRM to understand our data and signals to optimize the PPC campaigns and SEO recommendations. Overall, we are extremely happy with this partnership. I couldn't ask for more. How did ROAST perform from a project management standpoint?
During the transition period, we polished our ways of working. Since then, everything has been smooth. We communicate via email and MS Teams and have regular meetings. What was your primary form of communication with ROAST?
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive about them?
ROAST's performance marketing mindset is very similar to mine, which makes everything very easy to handle and execute.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, as long as the targets are being met, I'm happy.
