Modo25 Limited

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a two-division optical products company. One division sells wholesale optical products to major retailers throughout the industry. Our other division is an online e-commerce platform.

What challenge were you trying to address with Modo25 Limited?

They’re a digital agency that was helping us improve our digital marketing strategy, making sure all the touchpoints were covered.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Their team was responsible for helping us elevate our digital presence and marketing strategy. In that process, they were able to generate volumes of analysis and reporting to inform our process. We started our collaboration off with a three-month trial project, and our team just decided to extend the partnership for another 12 months. 

What is the team composition?

We collaborated with 6–8 people at any one point.

How did you come to work with Modo25 Limited?

They were introduced to us by a mutual friend. When they pitched us, it was clear that they were far superior to the other agencies we were considering.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about £7,000 (approximately $8,557 USD) each month on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in January 2020, and our collaboration is ongoing.

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

We based our fee structure on a success metric, and they’ve exceeded every goal that we’ve set. Our PPC performance, organic rankings, affiliate marketing, and Google Ads have all been enhanced with their support. They have a team of experts looking over each subject area to ensure our success. Those experts understand the industry at a level that most in the business do not. 

How did Modo25 Limited perform from a project management standpoint?

They prioritized communication, and my team worked very well with them. We were able to have plenty of one-on-one time with the CEO. Our teams have a formal update call each month, and our conversations could always be frank and honest.  

What did you find most impressive about them?

While their services may feel expensive, we’re paying for the absolute highest quality of work. During our meetings, they clearly share their process and take a collaborative approach to project planning.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’ve been very happy with them. That’s why I extended our contract.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am CEO of a business that specialises in the production of high-quality presentation solutions.

For what projects/services did your company hire Modo25 Limited?

We have been running Google Ads for a little over a year. We did it in house at first and then switched to a small local agency. We were really struggling to get any traction and the spend with the first agency was not delivering results. I turned to Modo25 to find the right people online and target them with the right ad creative.

What were your goals for this project?

Increase exposure to our target audience Drive larger amounts of better qualified traffic to our website Find new places to reach potential clients Generate leads.

How did you select this vendor?

We assessed the capabilities of a range of different vendors. It was clear from the first meeting that Modo25 understood our business and our objectives. They were far from the cheapest option but they clearly communicated why they were better than other agencies. They had a clear strategy and execution plan.

Describe the project in detail.

We worked together to set our goals. A plan was then drawn up as to how they could be met, the cost of doing so and the realistic timescales. We have regular catch up calls in which Modo25 share easy to understand data points that underline and justify the next phase of their plan.

What was the team composition?

We have a Project Lead but we are also in touch with the CEO.

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

In the 5 months we have been working together we have seen a significant increase in: - Impression share - visits to site - conversions to lead - conversions to sale The additional amount we decided to spend with Modo25 has been paid back several times over already.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Excellent comms and workflow. After every call the team follow up with written info and action any points discussed in the meeting.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They go beyond the expected norm. They are constantly saying 'we've had an idea' or 'We'd like to test this'. It feels like they are really invested in making the campaign a success.

Are there any areas for improvement?
