For what projects/services did your company hire APG MEDIA, and what were your goals?

We had a problem with an old marketing agency. The results were not good and we believed that we can achieve better. So we made a contract with APG MEDIA for digital marketing strategy and PPC campaigns. All our goals were achieved even better than we expected.

How did you select APG Media and what were the deciding factors?

I have known APG MEDIA CEO Aurimas from a lot of conferences in which he participated. This reason was enough to give a change for APG MEDIA.

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

We needed better strategy for PPC marketing. (Facebook ADS, Google adwords, google display marketing). For APG MEDIA we gave only one task, we expected to have ~500% ROAS for all campaigns. All other work was done by this agency and now we have 600-700% ROAS, sometimes even better results. So we are more than happy.

How many resources from the APG Media team worked with you, and what were their positions?

3 people, including a dedicated project manager and 2 PPC campaign specialists.

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

Our main goal is return on advertising spend, APG MEDIA achieved this goal even better than we wanted. First we started to work together in Lithuania market, later in Latvia and a few months ago we started to work together in Estonia. Everyone must trust an agency and give them a few months to achieved best results.

APG MEDIA will do this job better than You expect.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication was smooth, all questions received quickly.

I can’t point out any improvements, I think the work is done properly.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a marketing specialist at a non-profit organisation in the education sector.

For what projects/services did your company hire APG MEDIA?

We have had a website for a few years in the past, however, never tried any form of online advertising on Google. During the Covid19 crisis, we identified a need for better online presence, hence, we were looking for a company to help us set up Google Ads & Google Analytics.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goals were to establish a better online presence, start advertising on Google search & display ads.

How did you select this vendor?

APG media consulted us in terms of Google advertising and helped us to understand the capabilities of Google Marketing Platform. They took an analytical approach to the audience we work for, spend a lot of time listening to our wants and needs and the offered a strategy that worked out really well for us.

Describe the project in detail.

We needed to establish a digital media presence within a four-figure budget over a period of one month, fast. We had a zero infrastructure or experience before the start of our relationship and needed the results urgently.

What was the team composition?

At first, we communicated directly with the APG CEO - Aurimas, latter we were overhanded to a team of two Google specialists. Communicating with them wasn't an issue, the transition was smooth and I'm happy with the results.

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

We got a 25% click-through rate on their search campaigns but a significantly lower CTR on display ads. However, our return on ad spend was nearly 600%, which is way more than we expected.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was superior. They were responsive to our queries, patient with our requests, and professional in terms of communication.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The most impressive part is that they managed to help us out working completely remotely. Remote work didn't make the process of communications any slower nor more complicated.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I could not point out any significant flaws that concern APG media's work setting up Google Ads and Analytics account, running and managing four figures budget campaigns and establishing a digital marketing strategy.
