Socialander was selected after an exhaustive search for a digital agency that could help us actualize the go-to-market plan for us. It was important that the team we worked with was agile, and in tune with pop culture and highly skilled to leverage on market insights to create digital campaigns that sticks and converts. Socialander ticked these boxes, I was impressed with the quality of their ideas, and the efficiency and effectiveness displayed when executing these campaigns. 

One thing that stood out for me was that their team was proactive with suggestions on how to improve our digital channels (app). They were always evaluating the campaigns and looking for areas where marginal gains/improvements could be made. This helped us achieve our campaign goals several times. Socialander is a team I will recommend for: digital marketing, reputation management, influencer marketing, public relations and strategic marketing campaigns . They are that good.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Number of leads generated; Number of Impressions for campaigns; Number of Click Through Rate and Conversions for digital campaigns.

We checked to be sure there was consistent growth in the number of people ( the content marketing and social media marketing they were managing for us)the content was attracting.

They were avery flexible team. We collaborated on Slack and WhatsApp. They also shared daily updates/feedback about the account and ongoing campaigns. These touch points enabled Socialander and my team to quickly pivot to certain directions whenever we accessed data points that alluded to that.

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

They’re creativity when it comes to executing go-to-market campaigns. They are very good in using market insights to create campaigns that resonates.

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

They could be a bit better with the allocation of resources on the project. Due to the nature of our business, we need periodic insights from the market to make strategic decisions. They could have had one of the associates create a periodic report about changes in the consumer marketplace and how that can impact our product matrix.
