YouYaa

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Tapoly, an on-demand insurance company. We’re also a technology provider for the insurance industry.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with YouYaa?

We needed help with digital marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

YouYaa acts as our digital marketing consultant, so they help us in improving our digital marketing strategy. Their work involves identifying how we can create traffic in a cost-effective way and how should implement our PPC strategies. In addition, they look at our entire marketing strategy so that they can find ways to assist us in getting leads that we need without having to pay a lot of money or without going down the traditional Google PPC route. Sometimes, they also create our campaigns.

On one occasion, we told them that our cost-per-click (CPC) was too high and we asked them to find solutions so that we could reduce it. After that, they've reviewed our campaigns and gave their suggestions and analysis. YouYaa’s work is done remotely and in person, and all their recommendations are implemented by our internal team.

What is the team composition?

I predominantly work with Zeeshan (Performance Marketing Specialist). We have our own marketing digital team in-house, but he is one of the experts we brought in to help with advisory and consultancy. In some cases, he does some of our work for us.

How did you come to work with YouYaa?

Zeeshan was at a co-working space that we had, and he connected with one of my admin teams who then introduced him to me. We worked with him because he was very knowledgeable and he had a great understanding of our business. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $10,000–$20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2019, and it’s an ongoing partnership.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We measure the success of our PPC, and thanks to them, we’ve seen our PPC costs coming down significantly when they started working for us. Overall, we’ve seen a great improvement in our digital marketing efforts.

How did YouYaa perform from a project management standpoint?

Their communication skills are fantastic, and we don't have any problems because they're capable of delivering our requirements. In fact, Zeeshan has been very timely and talented. He really acts as a professional project manager. In addition, he communicates the milestones we need to finish to ensure that we don’t face any problems. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Zeeshan’s expertise, reliability, and professionalism stand out. He’s very well-spoken and able to explain things in a clear and simple manner. Moreover, he knows what he’s doing and does what he says.

Are there any areas they could improve?

He has done everything very well. I’ve never thought about what he can improve to make our partnership better.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Zeeshan can immediately add value to your business. You only need to give him access to your tools. In our case, rather than telling him what we need, we tell him our problem so that he can identify solutions to our issues. Overall, if you want to work with him, you need to give him a realistic target.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO at Citizen Shareholders, a nonprofit. We’re a brand-new startup creating a new financial platform that enables shareholders on different resolutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with YouYaa?

We were looking for someone to take care of our digital marketing. We needed to make ourselves known, and we didn’t know how to make ourselves look professional.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

YouYaa is in charge of our whole digital marketing, including content development, social work, and different partnerships. They’ve taken our strategy from point zero to where we are.

They currently manage our Google and Facebook Ads, and they’re building our website and social media. Since we’re going out to investors, YouYaa is also helping us market ourselves. We’re growing and learning with them.

What is the team composition?

I don’t know how many people are working on our project. Zeeshan (CEO) is my main point of contact — he’s the one giving us reports and figures. He has a fascinating background, and he’s lived all over the world, including Canada, the Middle East, and China. He’s able to reach more people for us.

How did you come to work with YouYaa?

We’re based in Level39, a coworking space in London for financial startups, and Zeeshan is a mentor there. He was mentoring two other startups on our floor, and I was pretty impressed with their marketing.

We had a cup of coffee together and discussed our business. Meeting someone in person does more than a Zoom call, and I liked his happy, smiling attitude. His proposal was great, but I appreciated the little extra he put in. He made himself stand out from other people.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve paid them around £2,000 (approximately $3,000 USD) per month.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in November 2020. Right now, I’m trying to have them do even more for us. I’d have them full-time, but we’re a small startup, so it’s not possible.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were going very slowly because of COVID-19, and YouYaa managed to up our game. Now, we’re on an excellent track, and part of our success is associated with YouYaa’s work.

They’re doing an amazing job helping us present ourselves. They’re building our brand and advertising and making us look attractive to investors. In the end, having a good product is what matters. However, presentation is everything in this world, and they’re creating everything we put out there.

Right now, we’re in the middle of the work, and we’ve been seeing results for the past month. Our website will be out in a couple of weeks, and the MVP will come out in 1–2 months. We’ve gone from nothing to having something, but we’re not there yet.

On the other hand, the price isn’t as low as what we want, but they’ve provided good value for their work. Zeeshan never counts hours; he’s more than what we could ask for.

How did YouYaa perform from a project management standpoint?

I work with teams across the world, but I’m not a native English speaker, so working with people can sometimes be challenging. However, YouYaa is amazing at working with us.

We have catchup meetings, and they’re always on time with a smile. The work is brilliant, but working with a person is also important, and Zeeshan can deliver that. Once, I had to travel to Singapore, and he woke up to do a call with me at 4 a.m. They meet deadlines ahead of time and give me daily email updates, which I’d never experienced before. I always had to chase them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have great attention to detail, and they know what needs to be done without us saying it. YouYaa can anticipate our needs and move forward.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It’d be good if they had a bigger team, but there isn’t something I could say in particular. I’m really happy with their work.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

You should be straightforward with them. YouYaa does great work, and they don’t mind iterating. Zeeshan is open, and he listens well to feedback.
