Our company hired Panem to set up and manage our pay-per-click campaigns. Our goal was to increase sales.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a marketing manager at an online store. We offer stationery and office supplies to businesses.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Panem Agency?

We needed professional assistance with PPC management.

SOLUTION

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

By word of mouth. Two of our partners used their PPC services and recommended Panem to us as they had seen very good results. Another deciding factor was affordability. We talked to many people and compared prices from different agencies.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

We started with discussing our conversion rate goals as well as our past DIY PPC efforts (which didn’t bring expected results so we sought help from professionals). The PPC specialist at Panem suggested setting up a new Google Ads account and doing everything from scratch, and we agreed. She also explained the project steps that included keyword research, competitor analysis, writing ad copies, combining them into groups, targeting etc. After a week, we were notified that our campaign had been launched and was closely monitored.

In the first two weeks, we saw the first results, but that wasn’t all. The PPC specialist needed that time to see how our ads performed and make necessary adjustments for better results. She sent us a report on the ads performance that included graphs with valuable statistics — how many people saw our ads, how many of them clicked, their demographics, etc. After the campaign was reviewed and the settings were modified based on the results of its performance during the first two weeks, we started receiving more conversions.

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

A PM and a PPC specialist.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The conversion rate has grown by around 400% if we compare the time when we managed our ads by ourselves with now, when our PPC campaign is handled by a professional. In addition, now we realize that we were simply draining our budget. Olesya, the PPC specialist at Panem we work with, is really talented at bidding that helps to save on advertising costs.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

In general, we’re satisfied with the way in which the project has been managed. They are responsive and don’t mind answering our questions. Our first meeting was on Google Meet. For communication, we mostly use Telegram and they email us the reports.

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

Their expertise in PPC impresses us. 

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

No, everything is great.

I am a marketing director at an eCommerce store specializing in pet products.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

When reconsidering our marketing strategy, we realized that we needed professional assistance with competitor analysis. Our goal was to obtain insights about our competition and use this data to step up our marketing efforts and thus grow leads and sales. In addition, we needed an agency with SEO expertise to help us analyze our link building strategy.

SOLUTION

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

I used my extensive network of marketers and talked to some people who could give me good advice about what agency to choose. I conducted interviews with shortlisted agencies and chose Panem. They explained the process of competitor analysis step by step, provided examples and relevant case studies. It was obvious that they had done this many times and had the experience we were looking for.

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

For starters, we had a meeting to discuss our goals in more detail. In two weeks, they sent us a detailed report on what had been already done, and, after some time, they provided the final report followed by another meeting at which they explained the outcomes of the project and suggested steps to improve our marketing strategy.

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

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

We contacted them by email first, but then we moved to Telegram, where we could ask their manager questions concerning our project. For online meetings, we used Google Meet. They met deadlines. In general, the project has been managed well.

Their extensive marketing expertise can help you with any aspect of marketing.
