Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

We are one of the first independent economic policy think tanks in Bulgaria, and our main activities are analysis of the economic dynamics and independent assessment and analysis of government policy.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire GCC Marketing to accomplish?

• As one of the first independent economic policy think tanks in Bulgaria, the Institute for Market Economics (IME) is dedicated to providing in-depth economic analysis and independent assessments of government policy. Our website is one of our most vital assets, serving as a central hub for publishing research, engaging with policymakers, and providing transparent, data-driven insights to the public. However, our existing website was outdated, both in terms of design and functionality. The user experience was cumbersome, navigation was unintuitive, and the site struggled with performance issues—especially during peak traffic periods when we released important economic reports. Additionally, our research database required a complete overhaul to ensure seamless access to our growing library of publications. We hired GCC Marketing to revamp our digital presence with a modern, user-friendly website that not only reflected our credibility but also empowered researchers, policymakers, and the public to access our work with ease.

GCC Marketing’s solution was an end-to-end custom software development service that spanned mobile app development, cloud infrastructure, and data security enhancements. The scope of the work included designing and developing an intuitive, user-friendly mobile app that integrates with our EEG devices to collect real-time data. They implemented robust data processing algorithms that could handle the specific requirements of EEG signals while making sure the app's performance remained smooth and responsive. A secure cloud infrastructure was also developed to ensure that the app could sync data in real time while maintaining user privacy and complying with industry standards. They also worked on implementing personalized feedback features, where users could receive insights based on their EEG patterns, helping them improve focus or relaxation. The architecture was future-proofed, allowing easy scaling of the app as we expanded our product line.

Key deliverables included a fully functional mobile app (available on both Android and iOS), a secure cloud data system, user authentication protocols, and a streamlined backend architecture.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project’s outcome was a huge success for us. The mobile app now works seamlessly with our EEG devices, providing real-time data and insights in a way that our customers find both valuable and easy to understand.

What was your primary form of communication with GCC Marketing?

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

One aspect we found particularly impressive was their ability to break down the complexities of EEG data into simple, understandable feedback for our users. This made the app accessible to people who might not have any background in neuroscience or EEG technology, which was a key factor for us. The user interface design, for example, was crafted in such a way that users could see and understand their EEG patterns, providing them with real-time recommendations for improving their focus or relaxation levels.

The development team’s technical expertise was clear when they offered innovative solutions to challenges we hadn’t even considered. For example, their suggestion to integrate a cloud-based data synchronization feature not only made the app more robust but also provided us with valuable insights about user behavior through analytics.

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

As for areas of improvement, there’s not much to criticize. If anything, we would have liked to see some additional post-launch monitoring and optimization of the app’s performance in diverse network environments. However, that’s a minor detail considering how well the app functioned across the board. The communication and level of care GCC Marketing provided more than made up for it.

Throughout the process, they provided mockups, wireframes, and prototypes, allowing us to provide feedback at every stage. Their approach was collaborative, and they demonstrated a clear commitment to bringing our vision to life.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The results of the project were nothing short of exceptional. Within weeks of launching the new website, we observed a significant increase in client inquiries, particularly for our crypto advisory services, which had previously been challenging to market. The client portal quickly became a favorite feature among our clients, improving communication and reducing manual administrative tasks on our end. Our search engine rankings improved notably, making us more visible to potential clients looking for business consulting services in Armenia.

What was your primary form of communication with GCC Marketing?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What truly impressed us about GCC Marketing was their ability to understand the nuances of our industry and translate that into a website that speaks to our target audience. Their creativity and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the design and functionality. Additionally, their proactive approach to problem-solving set them apart. For example, they suggested features we hadn’t considered, such as a knowledge base for clients to access tax and crypto-related resources, which has since become an invaluable addition to our site.

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

While the overall experience was outstanding, one area for improvement could be the onboarding process. Although thorough, it was slightly overwhelming due to the number of questions and inputs required from our team early on. A more phased approach might make it easier for clients like us to navigate the initial stages.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

GCC Marketing’s approach was comprehensive and highly tailored to our needs. They began by conducting an in-depth audit of our existing website, identifying areas for improvement such as technical SEO issues, content gaps, and keyword opportunities. The scope of work included technical optimization by fixing site speed issues, improving mobile responsiveness, and resolving indexing errors to enhance overall website performance. Their keyword research strategy identified high-value, brand-aligned keywords that captured search intent and reflected the identity of Frank And Oak.

They developed a robust content plan, including blog articles, product descriptions, and landing pages that aligned with our brand’s voice while targeting specific keywords. Their backlink-building efforts secured links from authoritative sites in the fashion, lifestyle, and sustainability niches. They also worked on optimizing our local presence, ensuring we were visible in local searches where applicable.

The results were nothing short of transformative. Within a few months, we saw a significant increase in organic website traffic, with more users spending time exploring our products and engaging with our content. Our flagship collections began ranking on the first page of search results for highly competitive keywords, which was a major win for our brand visibility. Additionally, we noticed a measurable improvement in conversion rates, with more customers completing purchases directly from our website. GCC Marketing didn’t just drive traffic—they helped bring in the right audience, which aligned perfectly with our creative and entrepreneurial demographic.

GCC Marketing excelled in project management. Their team was organized, proactive, and communicative. Deadlines were consistently met, and deliverables were always of the highest quality. What stood out was their ability to adapt quickly to our feedback and evolving business needs. For instance, when we launched a new sustainable apparel line, they seamlessly integrated it into the SEO strategy without missing a beat. Their responsiveness made it feel like we were working with an extension of our own team rather than an external agency.

What was your primary form of communication with GCC Marketing?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What truly set GCC Marketing apart was their ability to deeply understand and align with our brand ethos. They didn’t treat Frank And Oak like just another client—they invested time in understanding our mission, values, and target audience. This understanding translated into an SEO strategy that didn’t just boost rankings but also amplified our brand identity. Another standout feature was their creativity in content strategy. They suggested unique ideas, such as creating "behind-the-scenes" blog posts and interviews with our designers, which resonated strongly with our audience.

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

If there’s one area where GCC Marketing could improve, it would be providing more workshops or training sessions for our internal team. While their execution was flawless, having some additional hands-on guidance to help our team better understand SEO basics and best practices would have been a nice touch. That said, this is a minor observation in an otherwise stellar partnership.

GCC Marketing could have been a little more assertive. We felt at times that we were driving the project more than them, they required to be somewhat remotivated at time. I put that down to us as much as to them.
