For us, client satisfaction is our number 1 measurable outcome. If the client sends the email and is happy with the responses they receive because it worked as expected, that is our goal.

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

Attention to many of the smaller details was often missed. Such as writing or spelling the product / brand name wrong in emails and reports (more than once). Content writing was not always good enough for this particular project / brand, whether that be articles or meta tags and text for website optimisation. 
It could be technically correct, in terms of use of keyword etc. yet not aligned to the communication style of the brand or simply include incorrect facts in articles. However, it is fair to say that the content matter is quite complex and to write about it you need to have a solid understanding of the product/service. Too focus to early on getting feedback on team performance, instead of just focusing on daily delivery of high performance. 
Sending simple questions for feedback such as "Are we being awesome"? or similar before I'm able to make this judgement. Personally I would reserve the title "awesome" for something really super outstanding. The service Mavlers provided was generally really good, if not great at times, but I wouldn't descrbe it as awesome.
