Content Rewired

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Director of Marketing for a recruiting company that services the Payments & Fintech industries, and we''re based in Allen, TX.

For what projects/services did your company hire Content Rewired?

We hired Content Rewired to generate content for our blog page.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goals for this project were to have search engine optimized content that would increase our visibility on the internet and put our company and its services in front of new audiences.

How did you select this vendor?

We selected Content Rewired for this project based on writing samples we'd received, and felt confident moving forward.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

After several discussions, topics for blog pieces were decided upon and Content Rewired set about writing pieces based on our requests. The blogs were current and topical, and were optimized for search engines, prompting more site traffic.

What was the team composition?

We worked primarily with Ashley Poynter, Chief Storyteller at Content Rewired.

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

Our site saw an overall 24% increase in traffic on the days we published Content Rewired's content, which was significantly greater than previously experienced. We were very pleased with the results.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Workflow between our team and Content Rewired was seamless. Communication was excellent.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

What I found most impressive was the quality of the content we were able to post, which surpassed anything we'd blogged to date. There was no need for editing on our end, and we were literally able to post the content directly to our site after receiving it. This was quite a change from other vendors, whose work required proofing and wordsmithing prior to posting.

Are there any areas for improvement?

None that I can think of!

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the VP of Marketing at a small technology agency located in Kansas City. We work in financial, education, shopping, and other verticals.

For what projects/services did your company hire Content Rewired?

We wanted to create weekly high quality content for our inbound marketing and lead generation efforts. Our team is very small, and we currently do not have any content strategists or writers. It was a perfect opportunity for us to augment our team with an external partner.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We interviewed several external partners and companies. Overall, Content Rewired had the highest quality of content at a reasonable price. Their experience in FinTech also aligned with our content needs directly.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The entire process was very easy for us, and Content Rewired handles the bulk of the "work" making it easy on me and my team. We had an initial kickoff where we discussed our overall strategy/plan, and narrowed in on some initial topic areas for them to cover.

From there, they took ownership of the entire content strategy and content creation process. They work very independently and require little guidance. They understand our objectives and come up with great content every week.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We have primarily been working with Ashley Poynter (Chief Storyteller) and Jaji Hammer (Project Coordinator).

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

The organic growth we've seen from the regular content postings has been fantastic. We went from essentially zero organic traffic to having organic be one of our primary lead generation sources. The feedback we've gotten from the community has been very positive as well. They seem to really enjoy the articles.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

As I mentioned above, it has been one of the easiest workflows of my career. Content Rewired is able to operate independently very effectively. We essentially approve the content - they handle the rest.

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

The quality of the content really stood out above the others we were considering. And, we haven't been disappointed yet.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Nothing comes to mind, to be honest. They have been nothing but professional and delivered high quality to date.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the VP of Sales and Marketing

For what projects/services did your company hire Content Rewired?

We were starting with a brand new website, little to no traffic, and almost no brand authority.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Ashley built out a grounds up SEO strategy and began comfortably executing on it independently. We launched our blog from scratch and not only saw a month over month growth in organic traffic, we really began to look and feel the part of a health insurance company.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

1. Initial planning - there was a ton of time and energy put into persona development, keyword research, and a content backlog.
2. Week over week execution - Ashley would write the articles, work with internal resources to get the necessary corresponding assets created, and load / post them within our CMS system along with creating the necessary social media pushes on relevant platforms.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I worked directly with Ashley for the duration of the project.

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

We saw a 500% increase in organic traffic throughout the duration of the project. We built our blog out from nothing to a couple hundred posts, and we saw the average time spent on our site double.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It was amazing. After a while I would just check in with Ashley sporadically every other week. I could trust the work could get done from conception to launch at a very high quality without any intervention. At a start up you have a million things to do at a given moment, it was a great relief to know and trust that Ashley could handle our content needs independently.

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

The ease and simplicity of the arrangement. I'd wake up a few times a week and see that we had an awesome blog post out and that we were getting great engagement on our social media - all without me really having to do anything. Honestly such a relief.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

It would have been nice to include some additional reporting so that I could spend some more time bragging about the project's impact to the rest of the company but I never had any trouble producing that myself when I needed to.
