BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Director of Marketing. Our company is the leading talent intelligence platform for recruiting and staffing teams.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost?

We wanted to expand our marketing department's skills without needing to hire an FTE for the role. KlientBoost assists with the strategy and execution of our demand generation and CRO efforts.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We reviewed 5 vendors based on services offered, team composition, and fee structure. KlientBoost had the most flexible terms and committed to performance requirements within the initial contract.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

We met with several team members in a couple of scoping meetings within the first 2 weeks of signing the agreement. From there, we set a testing roadmap, established timelines and KPIs. Progress meetings with weekly reporting were also set to track ongoing progress.

What was the team composition?

I worked with a four-person team consisting of a director, senior account manager (for daily comms), and several strategists to execute channel strategy.

We've saw a 45% increase in lead volume within the first 90 days of working with KlientBoost.

We communicate almost daily over email and in our shared project management tool.

KlientBoost is literally leading the industry. Their founder speaks at almost all of the notable conferences and frequently contributes to the industry's thought leadership. Their team has been an endless source of insight, information, and new opportunities.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

It'd be nice to tie them into our messaging platform or vice versa.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the director of marketing at carSHAiR and responsible for overseeing the marketing and advertising strategy through in house professionals and third party vendors.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

As a start up company, it was important to us that we maximize our time and leverage the expertise of well seasoned advertising providers in order to ensure our dollars were maximized.

SOLUTION

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

After interviewing a number of agencies both large and small, we went forward with Klient Boost based on a great culture fit, ability to provide immediate solutions as well as support our on-going business needs as we scale our budget.

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

We had completed a series of questionnaires and introductory planning and strategizing. We set a goal of 30% growth in app installs over the first 90 days and this benchmark was clearly laid out, as well as how we would achieve this.

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

I believe initially there were 4 individuals. A team manager or something of the likes, a campaign strategist, media buyer, and a conversion rate optimization specialist.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our PPC campaigns were originally delivering installs at a cost of nearly $200. Klient Boost was able to drive this down to just under $80 per install by the end of our first 3 months. Our social campaigns had been doing well from a social standpoint but did not perform well from an install / revenue perspective. Klient Boost stepped up and made them all highly optimized profit machines!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Great, the use of Boost Flow and the way they report data through bi-weekly calls is perfect.

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

They don't just talk the talk. They know their value and what they bring to the table, and they implement it with vigor.

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

Not at this point.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Digital Specialist working within the marketing department.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost?

Review our overall accounts which differ by audience and KPI, to determine best strategies for search and social. We need to ensure we are not overlapping in our search strategies with multiple web properties, and lower our CPL on social while maintaining or increasing leads.

SOLUTION

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

Klientboost was recommended by another marketer at a different agency who saw great results. We walked through a discovery phase where the team already suggested recommendations about our accounts and strategies. With a small focused team, we felt they filled a major gap.

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

Discovery which involved evaluation of our accounts in real-time, onboarding from both teams to go in-depth on overall marketing strategies and specific needs by campaign, overall evaluation of the team's tactics and migrating currently running campaigns.

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

We worked with 1 account manager and a campaign manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our CPL went down by close to 50%, while maintaining overall lead captures. We also started testing new types of advertisements that had never been in market before.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We meet weekly, with the team providing analytics bi-weekly. We also have access at all times to a dashboard with a breakdown of our activity by platform, month, and quarter. Our teams are both very communicative and the KlientBoost is always quick to respond.

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

The team is incredibly nimble and focused. This was definitely a gap we needed to fill, and Klientboost has been able to work with our other agencies as well for a holistic approach.

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

Nothing comes to mind - we have continued to extend business to other arms of our team based on quick results.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I run demand generation for a startup and we needed to ramp our digital marketing efforts. I went looking for a partner for our B2B software space, and found KlientBoost.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We are a small startup with not a large footprint in the digital space. My goal was to ramp our digital efforts as quickly as possible, especially during the time of COVID, where every program had gone virtual.

SOLUTION

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

I did my research and spoke to 6 different vendors before choosing Klientboost. The deciding factors:, the account management team, price, and experience.

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

Klientboost had a very smooth onboarding structure - We set up all the systems and integrations that were needed for our digital campaigns to be successful - A lot of work and brainstorm went into our QBR strategy, but it was well worth it! Klientboost guided us with best practices for digital marketing.

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

Account manager (most communication with AM), Keyword and copywriting strategist, Ad specialist and strategist

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We came up with a mutual goal of lead conversion

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective. We both worked in Asana and both teams are very responsive

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

We've been impressed by how collaborative their team is. I've worked with vendors in the past where they're not as hands-on and they're not invested in your success (aka they were just there to do a job). Klientboost does not fall into this category - they truly feel like a member of the team.

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

None.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the senior marketing director of a SaaS company that sells low-code software.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

Capabilities, price, reputation, expertise.

Google ads, both display and paid search, micro-segmented LinkedIn Ads, moving to SEO as well.

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

two different account managers, two different creative specialist, two different campaign managers. When we didn't see initial success, they brought on fresh blood to the account that turned our results around.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

KB shifted strategies from PPC into paid social at our request, but also based on early indicators of success that weren't coming. About 4 months in, leads from LinkedIn started to come in from our ICP at a steady rate. Their iterative approach paid off.

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

They use Asana, feedback from our AM has always been timely and responsive. Can be a bit less so from creative or campaign managers.

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

Their approach is consultative, there's some hustle to it as well. They are focused on what we're focused on — results.

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

Several times I've had AMs had challenges getting timely responses from their internal team. That needs to be addressed, could be a capacity issue.

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

Working together with the KB team started with onboarding which was great. We set up our specific goals and gave the KB team background on our existing social campaigns and what we wanted moving forward.

The KB team always meets their deadlines and is great at communicating with us through Asana.

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

The KB team is very professional, but the thing that stands out the most to me is the level of dedication they show when trying to iterate on ways to make sure we're reaching our goals.

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

We aren't seeing some of the results we wanted to see, but the team keeps bringing new ideas and is working to fix this.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I head up the marketing team at Clearbit. Clearbit is a Marketing Data Platform that enables teams to combine and refine data in real-time to create prospect audiences - and then easily apply that Intelligence to improve Acquisition, Conversion, and Operations across all their GTM systems.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Back in 2018, we released our free Chrome Extension, Connect. Connect was and still is, the best (free) prospecting tool for marketers, sellers, and networkers. At the time, we didn't have the bandwidth internally to devise and carry out a marketing strategy to get Connect in the hands of our audience.

SOLUTION

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

We identified 5 digital marketing/demand agencies. After interviewing each of them, we chose KlientBoost based on their detailed proposal, clear understanding of our challenge, and the professionalism they demonstrated.

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

First, we went through a discovery phase to share the details of our challenge, our goals for the project, and the inner workings and key use cases of Clearbit Connect. Then they devised a strategy proposal, which included paid acquisition and email marketing. They also helped us polish our value propositions and ad creative.

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

We worked with an account manager and designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The email campaign was very efficient, albeit low volume due to our database restrictions. They were able to achieve a 45% open rate and a 10% click rate, which exceeded expectations. The paid campaign we ran on Facebook and Instagram was extremely successful, resulting in < $1 installs.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We had a weekly meeting set up with our account manager and constant communication back and forth via email. They were always quick to respond and attentive.

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

I loved the culture at KlientBoost. Their founder and CEO, Jonathan Dane, has done an incredible job building a team of passionate, hard-working, and intelligent people.

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

Nothing comes to mind.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

After understanding our needs, Klientboost prepared an ad strategy, worked with us to understand our market positioning, created ad copy, a landing page and helped launch.

What was the team composition?

I worked with a project manager/account manager, web designer, and an ads manager

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Klientboost helped drive a lot of leads to our website. Overall we have tripled our monthly demo requests. While not all of them were attributed to specific ad clicks, it has helped drive a lot of brand awareness and SERP rankings.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very good and effective communication. Klientboost's team is very capable and professional - they take feedback well .and work hard to implement our requests. We trust them as a knowledgeable resource to assist us with our ad strategy.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their commitment to ensuring the best outcome for us. They work hard to make sure that their results match our expectations. They take feedback well and improve.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

It would have been nice if they had requested some additional resources and ideas from our inhouse team - it did seem like they have a specific process to follow, but would have been more effective if they had leveraged some of our in-house learnings sooner.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the client and provider success manager of a mental healthcare organization. We provide psychiatric services via telehealth.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with KlientBoost?

We were looking for lead generation to drive more traffic to our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

KlientBoost helped us set up our Google Ads account, and they actively help us increase traffic to our website. We work together on a weekly basis to adjust our target audience, see how our ads are working, and measure if the PPC campaigns are getting results.

What is the team composition?

I work with three people from KlientBoost: Gabriel (Campaign Manager), Cody (Senior Conversion Designer), and an account manager. They’re all responsible for different areas.

How did you come to work with KlientBoost?

We found them through Google.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to KlientBoost’s efforts, our lead costs have gone down, and our cost per action has been reduced by half.

How did KlientBoost perform from a project management standpoint?

KlientBoost performs quite well. They’re very organized and share a lot of their information. We touch base weekly, so I’m happy with that.

They’re also collaborative and responsive. We communicate via email and Google Meets.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The process of working with KlientBoost has been great. They seem to know what they’re doing, and they always keep us in the loop. Additionally, they’re very transparent, which I really like.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’ve already given them direct feedback, so I have nothing to add.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ensure that you have all of your documents and information set up from the beginning. They tried to do that for us and did a good job, but Google Ads and Analytics accounts require having a lot of information in advance to access them. Having everything prepared will optimize the time you spent with KlientBoost.
