A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the president of an independent financial advisory firm. We serve and help households achieve their retirement goals.
What challenge were you trying to address with Philip Agnello Creative Consulting?
I was looking to increase brand awareness and development, as well as business development.
What was the scope of their involvement?
I hired Philip Agnello Creative Consulting to help me develop a company name, logo, website, content, and brand strategy. We’re working with them to determine any areas of opportunity to target new businesses and then develop marketing and advertising opportunities for those specific channels.
What is the team composition?
I worked with Philip (Founder) himself and he’s hired several consultants to complement his services.
How did you come to work with Philip Agnello Creative Consulting?
I had a prior relationship with Philip before he started his company which allowed me to see some of his past works. Because of this, I thought he’d be a good fit to help me at my company.
How much have you invested with them?
I believe I’ve invested roughly around $25,000 CAD (approximately $19,000 USD)
What is the status of this engagement?
We started our ongoing partnership in November 2018.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Philip Agnello Creative Consulting expands my visibility to my network and to potential clients significantly. It’s difficult to quantify but through word of mouth and email marketing, they increase my awareness to 200-300 new people.
In terms of lead generation, they’ve helped me generate 50–100 new leads where I’ve closed two significant leads. I’ve already made more through these leads than I have spent on the services, too.
How did Philip Agnello Creative Consulting perform from a project management standpoint?
Pre-COVID-19, we communicated in person, through email, and phone. They display high attention to detail, good communication, and they do what they say they’re going to do on time. I believe they do a great job in terms of project management.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We’re impressed with the team’s passion and how they deliver high-quality and creative work. We also like their ability to understand different businesses in different industries.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It’s too early to say at this point but nothing comes to mind.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
The advice I would give is to know your business, your needs, and what type of service in terms of developing your marketing and creativity to generate new leads in your line of industry. Understand your clients and what channels you need to invest in and capitalize on that.
