BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Commercial Director of LifeConcept SA which is the Master Franchisees of BoConcept brand (also MF of other international furniture brands) for Greece. Our core business is in retail and B2B furniture market.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Humble Digital Agency, and what were your goals?

We hired Humble Agency for our complete Digital Marketing needs. After many years spending budget on TV and Radio commercials we decided to allocate 100% of our budget on digital marketing. Our goal was to increase sales and brand awareness taking advantage of the new digital media tools available.

SOLUTION

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

We decided for Humble after 2-3 failed attempts with other agencies. The deciding factor was that Humble was the only agency that could incorporate the commercial part of marketing into any idea, conversation and action we were to make.

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

The project consisted of building a new "side" website, create "selling" content for all social media available, targeting the right audiences with A/B testing to allocate budget in a winning content, with a goal to convert in lead forms and get the customers to engage with our sales staff in a more personal way, eventually creating traffic and direct appointments to the stores. Constant reporting and optimazation in both website and performance KPI's was mandatory.

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

We worked with an account manager, always with the caring eye and involvement of the founder, rest of the team consisted of performance manager, a content creator, a web developer and a copywriter.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

All our ads were channeling traffic to our website, where the UI worked excellent and constantly converting about 3% of this traffic into leads with name, email, mobile number, interest in specific product and/or services like Interior Design service and favorable store for the visit. In a measurable and sales effective way, we managed to increase our turnover for about 10-15% per year

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The Humble team adapted to the ongoing proccess of improving and optimising the project. They're flexible and creative as well. They send monthly reports and hold quarterly in-person meetings to keep everyone on track while solving anything along the way.

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

Humble is an agency with Performance and Creativity at heart combined with commercial thinking. This is a unique combination at the digital market.

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

They could be more prepared for workload and increasingly account demands. Some misses now and then due lack of resources.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Humble Digital Agency?

Several years ago, we began operating an online store in Greece. We needed a partner who could support us with market research, in order for us to grow our business online. We were also looking for rebranding and digital marketing services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Humble addressed every aspect of our business. 

The first days of our commitment with Humble involved identifying target groups to understand what our clientele and market approach should be — what customers were willing to buy online, how we could get to them, and when we should target them. It was a long, detailed market research project. 

After that, the team was really active in rebranding and took over the whole scheme of our company’s marketing efforts

The team didn’t redesign our logo, but they did provide direction on how to capture our products and collections most effectively through photos. Humble walked us through our catalogs and collections and directed most of the creative process. 

What is the team composition?

Nikos (Founder) was our main contact, and we also worked closely with the IT team, specifically the frontend developer.

How did you come to work with Humble Digital Agency?

We didn’t have a clear view of the market at that time, so we were trying to find a partner who could offer a lot of expertise. We’d also had some negative experiences with past vendors. 

Nikos visited our offices and was able to provide really valuable insight on the spot. Based on that experience, we decided to partner with Humble. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about €250,000 (approximately $275,000 USD) over the course of our engagement.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Humble around the end of 2010, and the partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our data has been overwhelmingly positive throughout the engagement. We’ve seen growth in Facebook followers and likes, sales numbers, and ROI. We monitor the team throughout the year, and we see consistent success.

How did Humble Digital Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Even as Humble has grown, they’ve remained customer-oriented. They provide us with immediate support whenever we need it. Each team delivers their work on time, from creative to IT to development, and the quality is always good.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Humble’s team is really creative, and they know what they’re talking about. True to their name, they’re humble, down to earth, and reliable. They present us with the truth and only the truth.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could get in-house development resources, but the Greek market is really small. There’s nothing significant that I can mention at the moment.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Clients should get in close touch, listen to the team, and be active in trial and testing periods. It’s also important to talk to Humble's managers, IT staff, and creatives. They’re experts in their business.
