Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our paid marketing efforts were previously done inhouse and poorly withh accounts deleted amongst other things.  SOUP was brought on in September 2024 to build everything from the ground up. They rebuilt our accounts 'correctly' and started generated results like we had never had before, incrementally increasing MoM. The deliverables we set were to increase new contacts, booked calls and Annual membership sales. In January we set specific KPI's to hit which were either 50% or 100% more then the previous Qrt's results. I had set the expectation for us to hit these new KPI's be end of calander year but the high achievers at SOUP decided to go ahead and hit majortiy of the grouped KPI's in this Qtr (Jan-March 2025).

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The team (Jake, Francesca, Danny and Charlotte) are agile, proffessional, and very much geniuses in their fields. They are constantly optimising content, targeting and budget for the benefit of our campaigns, as if it is their own personal brand they are promoting. They consistently go above and beyond to make our marketing efforts and message resonate with our target audience and even when setbacks such as last minute changes, budget cuts and complete creative and message updates happen, the SOUP team adjust and make it happen at a moments notice. I honestly could not ask for a better team to help build the RipeGlobal Brand.

The first time I engaged Soup was to help reinvent how our company approached lead generation through social media. I also invited two other agencies to pitch and deliver on a social media project (with a budget and timeline) to compare their operations. 

Soup not only outperformed in insights, lead gen results, project management, reporting, and team engagement but also brought a sense of achievement and success to our team. They helped to establish social media as a powerful lead gen tool - and ultimately made me and my team look like superstars!

My Business had a bad run of previous poor digital marketing providers on social media and landing page advertising with PPC marketing. After such experiences, I approached SOUP Agency to provide consulting advice across all of our campaigns. The key deliverable was to improve ROI from negative or zero to an upward trajectory. 

SOUP implemented a series of deep dives, team education sessions, improvements and tactics which has completely turned around how my business is found and present online. SOUP was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and highly effective.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our social media adverts and PPC campaigns went from being a completely wasteful investment (producing ZERO ROI) to returning highly valuable leads, at around 5 or 6 per month. These leads weren't just average leads either - due to their consulting, we retargeted the right audience and were achieving real results.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

One of the best attributes of SOUP Agency was their Relationship Management. Michelle and the team reached out often to check in, provide guidance, offer support and more. I felt like I was more than just a number and it was a rewarding experience.

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

Perhaps they should have upsold me!!! Hahaha I probably would have bought more. They were so focused on the project itself that they didn't offer other services, but that's definitely not a negative.
