BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm CMO at Paystubsnow. Financial paperwork slows every business down. That’s why more and more are turning to online generators that deliver needed forms in just a few simple steps. Spend less time on paperwork and more on what you do best.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SMART Promotion&Production?

We were looking to scale our business. Our challenge was to grow the number of people going through our social media and email channels. We didn’t have much business coming from cold traffic when we started. Running Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are hard on personal finance services because computers reject them quickly; we must review them and know what changes to make.
