Flexibility and openness to take feedback - every team member displayed that trait.

The keywords for the SEO were worked upon and they modified the website content. Thought leadership content was generated in terms of blogs and posts for the website.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Director of Marketing and Communication at Maple Assist Inc- we are a Canadian EduTech company based out of Toronto and conduct client relations and services through our India office. We create customised mobile apps for Canadian higher education institutions and take care of digital marketing services for our clients and Canadian corporates as well.

We were looking to increase our company's online presence through marketing on digital mediums like social media. At the same time we acquired clients looking to increase their online presence in India and gain some meaningful student leads. To meet these requirements we turned to Markivis.

What were your goals for this project?

To establish regular outreach with our target audience of young individuals looking to study in Canada- and provide them with engaging content. Also to make sure our clients retain their brand value in the market with regular adverts and campaigns.

How did you select this vendor?

They were recommended by a partner in the company who has had previous interaction with them

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Markivis has been involved in a number of projects and help in their execution from start to finish. For instance, for a bank client. We have initial calls to understand needs of the client, and they come up with information on what campaigns are effective for the client and when we should execute them. Following that I provide them material to work with- logos, branding guidelines and possible copies/content for ads. They come up with a campaign plan that I review and share with the client for their approval. Markivis then takes care of all campaign, supervising results and sharing progress of each campaign with us weekly. They also share a report on results on a monthly basis. They have also helped in traditional marketing through designing of ebooks, pamphlets for advertising in person.

What was the team composition?

I have 3 points of contact- senior management who discusses projects and scope in the beginning and comes in for any instant solutions or advice that maybe required. A campaign manager and main point of contact who takes care of all campaigns of our company and clients. A social media manager for the past year who helps in putting up a calendar of events/and executing in consultation with our team.

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

Our first corporate client were happy with our campaign and representation work and have extended their contract. Our social media platform which had very few posts and even fewer followers now shows regular engagement (almost on a daily basis) and we have trebled our following on platforms like Instagram.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

There is a smooth communication system in place- we feel free to approach the team several times in a week and they are always responsive. They are quick to get back to you for any needs you may have. If someone is unavailable in a certain capacity, someone else steps into their place to make sure there is no issue.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Markivis' main strength is that they are very dependable. I know that timings and deadlines will always be met. They have a very positive attitude about tackling work even if it needs multiple revisions or is a new, last minute project that requires quicker follow up from their end. Compared to another company that takes of app development for us, I have always found this marketing team to be more on point and professional. They almost seem like they are a part of your own company and that is a huge takeaway for a client.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I think Markivis meets most of our requirements- there are times when I have to edit certain content/ads but I don't think it impacts their quality of work overall.
