We went to them for digital marketing.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Noboru World has provided SEO, social media marketing, and content writing services for our travel business. For the other two business ventures in our company, they’ve helped us with website development and UI/UX design, content writing, and quality assurance. They consulted us on building our marketing strategy in order to take the site further, and they’ve helped us with programmatic marketing.

My boss found Anjan (Founder & CEO) and introduced him to us.

Everything’s gone smoothly. I’ve met most of their team personally, and they have very good design, research, SEO, and content writing teammates.

I would recommend Noboru World to others. All their work is professional and well-documented. They do proper research to identify shortcomings and pain points.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The pandemic situation has impacted their delivery times, and this is something they should focus on. Everything else is fine.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I recommend getting in touch with Jyotisman. He’s been able to address every difficulty we’ve had. They have a smaller team now, and they’re trying to focus on the quality of the work.
