ExpandX

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m running a chemicals company operating in Southern and Eastern Europe. I founded it with the aid of an EU project. We manufacture domestic chemical products.  

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ExpandX Marketing & Web?

I was into old-style, traditional marketing, and I knew nothing about the internet and online products. When I was submitting the business plan with the investment bank, I was advised that I’d have to invest in digital marketing.

We needed help with digital marketing, website, strategy, and design, so I started searching for a company that could do all these things for me. I didn’t want to go to one company for the website, another one for marketing, and another for package design.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

ExpandX Marketing & Web built my website, and we continued from there. The site presents our services for our investors. From there, they helped us with design, email marketing, and so on. 

They gave me a questionnaire covering website features like map locations—minor things I hadn’t even thought about. The pattern applied for all other projects, including the design team and the email marketer in charge of supplier relations. They advised me on how to harmonize different marketing activities.

They set up a strategy for contacting suppliers on LinkedIn. They designed my logo and all the branding. They designed my newsletter, and they made three marketing videos.

What is the team composition?

I discuss everything with Temelko (CEO). He introduced me to the team in the beginning. I have another point of contact, who manages everything for us. I’ve had meetings with their designer. I didn’t communicate directly with the people doing the website. I gave out all the instructions and revisions to the manager.

How did you come to work with ExpandX Marketing & Web?

A friend told me about ExpandX Marketing & Web. I looked them up on Google and checked out their work. I looked at other companies, but ExpandX was fast in replying to me, and they had good answers to my questions. They invited me to meet with them, and I felt like we had a human relationship from the start. I’m a businessman, and I know that things are done for money, but I didn’t feel like ExpandX was there just to take my money. They had an interest in what I and my business needed.

The communication was very good in the beginning, and their offer was very detailed. I was given a timeline for what would be done and when. A lot of the other companies I contacted didn’t even answer. I felt safe with ExpandX.

How much have you invested with them?

The website cost around €3,500 (approximately $4,000 USD), the Facebook and LinkedIn strategy was around €2,000 (approximately $2,400 USD), the business card and packaging design was €1,000 (approximately $1,200 USD), and the videos cost €300 each (approximately $360 USD). The total was around $16,500.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with ExpandX in April or May 2020, and the website was done in 3–4 months. We continued with other work from there. I still go to them when I need new business cards or a Christmas calendar.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I can’t judge the code quality, but I asked all my business partners how they like the site and whether it needed changes. Everyone likes the site, and they think it’s very modern. I’ve referred a few of those people to ExpandX Marketing & Web.

Most companies in my industry have terrible websites, from the past century. What I got was very good, and I’ve gotten some important contracts on LinkedIn through the strategy ExpandX Marketing & Web put together. If I didn’t have a good website and all the pieces weren’t put together, no matter the strategy, I wouldn’t have gotten the partners I have. We’ve managed to contact people in Hungary, Croatia, and Greece, and I've gotten good business there. That’s especially important during the pandemic.

How did ExpandX Marketing & Web perform from a project management standpoint?

They were always communicative, and it didn’t feel like I was being sold something. I was always consulted on what the different projects would be, and everything was divided into micro-steps. I always felt like my business was being taken care of.

Their CEO was always available. If not, he returned my call in a day or two. They always delivered on time, and they always kept me updated.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was totally unprepared for the digital field, and I felt that I was being taken care of by ExpandX Marketing & Web. My business was in good hands with them.

We had a good working relationship, that’s super important to me. I could never do good business with bad people, or with people who are after quick money. This was exactly the opposite. They were open, caring, and communicative.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m really happy with the service, so I couldn’t say. Someone could say they’re expensive, but it’s never been an issue because I received quality results. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I went to ExpandX Marketing & Web with information that would give them context. I didn’t just give them a list of things to do. ExpandX Marketing & Web always engaged with me in a collaborative way. They checked and verified ideas, which required time and resources from me because I know my business niche.

It’s a mutual project. They have very good ideas and knowledge, but, if I left them alone, they probably wouldn’t have been able to hit the target very well. Whoever comes to them needs to think of it as getting an external marketing partner that’s actually a part of the team.  

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am Managing Director at Amplify Financial Services

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web?

We use the services of ExpandX who are building up our a new website and working on the execution of our digital marketing strategy for acquiring new business and expanding client portfolio.

What were your goals for this project?

With the market trends after March 2020, our firm has shown extremely well-graded performance for the investment products we sell to our clients. We are willing to use the momentum and scale that through enhanced digital presence - new website and digital marketing.

SOLUTION

How did you select ExpandX Marketing & Web?

I found the company profile at the Institute of Directors in London with whom they hosted few online events. I sent an inquiry and they have sent me a very thorough brief so that they can understand more about our business needs. The offer we received was very professional and the initial meeting we had with Temelko (the CEO) was very productive. The combination of all this made us choose them for our project.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

The project started with a very detailed analysis of ur business needs, the markets we operate at, the audience we target, our products presentation, unique selling points, how we stand against competitors based on various factors, etc. The initial report we received shown perfectly well where we needed to put focus on both with the website and the digital marketing activities to.

The team also design a very well-set strategy for the campaigns and activities we are having in 2021 so that consistency is in place. We are in constant and very effective communication with a project manager of the company and we are keep in the loop of development and results at all time. The team of specialists is working and managing all the campaigns. We receive the ideas initially and once approved they go live.

We also get a full report and decide how to continue with the campaign based on the results. Temelko is always there for us when we need strategic and expert advice on important matters.

What was the team composition?

We work with the web development department and the marketing department. Both however are managed via one project manager who is our point of contact. They do everything that is needed (web design, web development, video, creative, content, copy, technical set, etc) and it is all reported and communicated to us by the project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I got a message from a former university colleague of mine. Over the years the firm he works at become one among our competitors. He saw the digital "restart" and expansion we were doing and asked me if we have established a marketing team within the firm. That speaks it all. If we are seen by the industry competitors we are making the right moves. We also got a very good flow of inquiries from potential clients. So far the outcomes are very very good.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Again, my point of contact is one project manager. We communicate via e-mail on regular basis. The level of professionalism is very good and the quality of work as well. It is effective and straight to the point indeed.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They have experts in every line of web development or digital marketing services, but what I find really valuable is that they work very effectively together so that you feel you work with 1 person but with the brains of 20 specialists. Well done guys!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am VP of Business Development with the main focus on Marketing and Sales at DCC Furniture Inc. A US company dealing with manufacturing and sales of domestic and office furniture.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web?

We were introduced to ExpandX by reference of a friend, of a colleague of mine whose business partner worked with them before. I did not expect that to become such a good intro as we, later on, contracted ExpandX for few services lines we needed professional assistance with. We worked with them on our website development as we needed some technical and web design improvements to be done. As we were looking to expand our e-commerce line of business due to Covid cases boost in the US we also integrated such solutions to the website.

That grew to the development of a whole marketing services pack of services with a focus on e-commerce and lead gen. The services included are video marketing and video ads production, google ads campaigns, Facebook corporate page management, blog articles creation, and creative design for our visuals used in digital and print formats.

What were your goals for this project?

We basically were looking for a more sophisticated and professional digital presence, online image improvement, and more effective online engagement with our potential and existing clients. All that had the goal of steady business growth in 2021, and at least to maintain 2019 sales volumes in 2020 as well. We were looking to improve the online arm of the business as we saw a declining trend with the physical distribution and stores we used to work with.

SOLUTION

How did you select ExpandX Marketing & Web?

I mentioned that at the beginning above. We found them through a reference of someone who they worked with before.

Describe the project in detail.

Again I would separate that in two - the website dev and improvements there as well as all the other marketing activities. I gave a detailed overview of what we needed and what the goals are in my previous answers.

What was the team composition?

There are different specialists involved in the different projects. We communicated mainly with a project manager but there are web developers, marketing experts, digital ads specialists, and designers involved as well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We got what we were looking for in Q3-4 of 2020. This was vital for us as the business climate in the US was not at its best due to many circumstances. Digital presence gave us the boost we needed and set the layout for the business growth we are aiming for in 2021. This all comes down to the steady flow of customer inquiries which are relevant to what we offer as products and services and also a much better digital image of the company.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective. They managed the website development projects, the strategies, and the campaigns super effectively. Very transparent and easy communication.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

'They really know what they are doing no matter if it is a marketing or web development-related task. I was impressed to see that they do not come up with standard answers and always to blindly say yes to what we asked for. They actually analyzed our goals, needs, the market, the competitors and notified us on matters we haven't been taking into consideration before. They really worked as our business partners I would say. This is truly a rare asset to have along.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Can't think of any

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

The company I founded and run Elies Hellenic S.A. is with HQ in Athens, Greece. We do olive oil production, export, distribution, and sales in Greece as well as other EU and non-EU countries.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web, and what were your goals?

We needed a new website that is modern, easy to navigate by your clients and partners. This became inevitable as with the corona rises in Europe where we mainly operate. We needed new business so we contracted ExpandX to build our website and to develop a marketing strategy for the B2B sector or products we operate in.

SOLUTION

How did you select ExpandX Marketing & Web and what were the deciding factors?

They were very communicative, the team engaged with the proposal and the consulting prior that - Temelko, Ellie, and Atanas - wonderful work. They consulted us on topics we did not think about. This turned out to be a very good proactivity approach for the whole project. All the questions we had were answered professionally. We also were impressed by the portfolio presented.

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

The project was divided in two main parts - website development and building a marketing strategy. The first one was very well planned and executed. There was a project manager to manage all the steps, revisions, ideas, Q&A, and development processes. We received few initial design ideas and once we chose one direction the project continued in a very easy way. The web development team of ExpandX is really good and they did exactly what we needed!

Then the marketing strategy development begun where other type of specialists were involved with more marketing and sales background. The first service took approximately 3 months to be completed and the second I think 2. Now we have a very complex 12 months expansion marketing and sales strategy that touches a lot of points. This is already in execution and is delivering results.

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

For the 1st part of the project - website development - were worked with: - 1 website developer - 1 web designer - 1 contentwriter - 1 UX/UI and marketing specialists - 1 project manager for the 2nd part of the project, the project manager stayed but 2 other specialists joined with expertise in sales and in marketing. Very well organized and carried out project and work!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Yes. The website was ranked in terms of SEO almost 1 month after the launch and is increasing its ranking performance every month. We also got more inquiries and messages with the new design and marketing concepts implemented. This si probably also due to the whole set of the marketing strategy designed and implemented. We got new clients, signed new contracts in neighboring countries which inquiries came as a result from the whole marketing and website development work.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

Communication was excellent! We got all the information before we asked for it. The project manager was very proactive and informative. Communication was mainly via e-mail and when needed we had a strategic meeting with Temelko, the CEO. Timelines were all met precisely.

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

The web development team is very good! They have great ideas and know how to implement them so that your website is better than the one of the competitors. They are proactive and very communicative. Also, the marketing and sales team, also with Temelko's experience is top!

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

None!

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am in the real estate business for more than 20 years. We own a vast investment portfolio of residential properties we manage in London, UK. I am the Director for the company. We have been on the market for more than 10 years now.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web?

We approached ExpandX Marketing with projects related to our investment portfolio of residential properties we manage in London, UK. We have acquired new properties and we needed improvements related to our branding, digital presence, online communication, marketing and sales management as our focus was mainly in solid business development during the last 5 years.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to launch a new corporate website (with a B2B focus) and another website (with a B2C focus). This was the first stage of our project with ExpadnX. The competition in London is extremely intense and difficult and we needed to stand out as a brand and organization.

Once this initial phase of the project was completed the schedule was to continue with building on the digital presence of the brand. This covered intense and powerful boosts in terms of lead generation, retention campaigns, customer engagement and brand awareness campaigns.

All that was targeted with the end goal of physical customers to enter our sales suites in central London where our sales specialists and negotiations were managing the deals. This mix was later on supplemented with Employer branding and corporate branding campaigns which were mainly targeted at our staff and partners.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

The procedure was long but we started with a referral from the industry. A colleague of ours knew the CEO who was actively involved in the real estate market.

The knowledge, both in marketing and real estate, which the team of ExpandX showed us during the several strategic calls we had was impressive. Once we were presented the year round strategy we and previous work results were made our decision to work with them.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

I would divide it in two parts. Website development and Marketing & Sales campaigns. For the firs part the team did an extensive research and series of discovery calls with us and our team to understand better what we need. The schedule was tight but we managed to do the preparation well enough.

Then in period of few months we extensively worked on the website development. The team advised us on a lot of topics as there were many questions arising all the time. Once we had our B2B and B2C websites ready and functioning we continued with the marketing mix the planing of the campaigns. This was done in very digestible and easy for us way.

The team planned and worked on everything - visuals, video ads, creative, brand alignment, funnels, prospects, customer profile, targeting in therms of geographies, etc. We had a very strong digital ads campaigns for the first months but later on gradually moved on to more targeted and "vast" digital coverage of the campaigns. All very well planned, managed and optimized.

What was the team composition?

Very well structured. The CEO is on top of everything but we were assigned a project manager to run all the campaigns and project. Reporting, deadlines, project deliveries, communication and timing is great. We worked with the marketing and the web dev team mainly.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have managed to build a solid pipeline of qualified leads for our new property developments. This was the end goal and we managed to deliver on that effectively. Our residential units were sold/rented out accordingly and in time as per the schedule. All this thanks to the right marketing mix, preparation and expertise of the ExpandX team.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their knowledge of the industry we operate in was impressive. Obviously they did a serious market research prior every major step of the campaigns. This proved to be working excellent months later.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Wouldn't say so.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web?

We needed a brand new website. That was the main task we approached ExpandX Marketing & Web. We had an old one and we needed a new one whit modern vision, design, effects, information architecture and SEO functionality all along with the mechanics of a well functioning website of a hotel.

What were your goals for this project?

New website, increase and boost in digital presence, sales and revenue increase, market share growth.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We have seen that they have worked on other projects in the Hospitality industry. We have seen their portfolio and other websites the team have created and really liked their work. Also the communication and the approach to us as a new customer was very good. That made us choose them as a service provider.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

For all the projects we had with ExpandX the team always started with the very detailed brief. Once we gave back the information needed, that was analysed by the team, we then discussed the strategy proposed and the steps with the project manager. Planing and processes were very good. Regarding the website development they started with a very well structured plan of the procedure, gave us information we need to decide on, gave us some design samples and navigated the project smoothly.

We received the first draft version of the website. It was beautiful. Than we did some coordinated revisions on the final touches, texts, images, etc - and the website was completed. They advised us on so many aspects we even did not think of! Perfect job! When we continued with the maintenance and management of the social media of our Facebook business profile the processes were kind of a similar ones.

They developed beautiful creatives and visuals, text and aligned everything in a posting plan. Everything was communicated very well with concrete targets, arguments, goals and explanations why it is done in such a way. Same was the approach with the paid ads in Facebook and Google. Which were developed top to bottom by ExpandX and gave us great results. The team also helped us with the design and printing of business cards, internal hotel branding, brand stationary and other marketing materials.

What was the team composition?

I think that we have worked and communicated with the whole team during the development of all those macro and micro projects. We have communicated and worked with the CEO, designers, website developers, marketing experts, Facebook & Google experts, copywriters, etc. Everything though was managed and moderated by a project manager! Thank you for everything!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have seen tremendous results in the first three months since the launch of the new website and the upgrades of our business profiles in the social media platforms. Engagement with the customers we had in the hotel transferred to the digital platforms and other saw the positive response as well.

That was spreading rapidly and we started getting more activities on our digital profiles and more inquiries from new guests, which thanks to the digital campaigns, new website, ads and activities saw the potential of our hotel an the quality of the services we deliver. We have seen occupancy rates increasing in April and May, compared to lower ones the previous year. Thank you!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very smooth and very effective.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They really know what they are doing! Anything related to marketing, sales, market research and business development in traditional and digital context. They are really, really good!

Are there any areas for improvement?

I don't think so.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am responsible for the marketing at Karoll Capital Management, a Bulgarian asset management company

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ExpandX Marketing & Web?

We were looking to improve our social media presence for a specific product - a savings plan targeted towards more general audience, as well as to optimize our campaigns and landing page for lead generation.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to reach out and appeal to a broader audience that is very active on social media, but in the same time keep campaigns effective in terms of lead generation.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We started working together after we attended a marketing conference, organized by ExpandX.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

The whole process started with them sending us a precise marketing brief questionnaire in order to clarify our business, the current situation of our marketing activities and our goals for the future. After reviewing it, they prepared a full marketing strategy with concrete steps to achieve our business goals.

We decided together to focus on the following actions:

• optimizing the landing page of our savings plan for lead generation. We received a very detailed step-by-step report outlining why certain actions were needed and how to implement them
• creating a Facebook campaign from creatives and copywriting, to setting everything up and managing the campaign itself
• creating a content marketing plan for a newly launched Instagram page

Again they developed the concept, prepared the visuals and the copywriting to go with it.

What was the team composition?

Our account manager was our main point of contact. I know a designer and a creative participated in the process, I am not sure how many other team members were involved.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

During the period of the campaign managed by ExpandX team we managed to almost double the reach while decreasing the cost per conversion more than 3 times. The traffic to our landing page also tripled, and we are consistently getting more leads compared to previous periods. Our Instagram page is up and running and we are already getting followers without any promotion on our side.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow itself was as impressive as the results achieved by the team. From the beginning, the process was smooth and the cooperation - efficient. The communication with our account manager was very easy and efficient.

We shared files in the cloud, talked mainly through email and phone and she managed to minimize the effort needed from our part, very clearly indicating what is expected from us so that we are on schedule. Feedback was always taken into account without compromising the effectiveness of the projects.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Even though all campaigns are measured by the results achieved, and in our case the results were great, for me personally what was even more impressive was the efficiency of their work in the day-to-day tasks leading to a successful outcome.

They developed a very professional workflow that removes miscommunication,  stressfull deadlines, and execution compromises.

Are there any areas for improvement?

None that I can think of.

The team is executing our digital ad campaigns, which include text, images, and videos, while also designing our marketing materials and building out our communication strategy. They’ve also implemented promotional offers and sales incentives as part of a marketing and sales strategy.

What was the team composition?

We were assigned an account manager that coordinates the whole project, including all of the marketing activities. The greater team that has worked on the project thus far is composed of a designer, several marketing specialists, a copywriter, some Facebook and Google Ads specialists, and a web developer.
