Strike Digital

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder at La Fabrique à Gaston, a startup company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Strike Digital?

We just started our business two months ago, so we needed someone to help us set up our social media campaigns.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Strike Digital is helping us with Instagram and Facebook campaigns. They installed Pixel on the website, and we are in charge of the creation of content. They also helped with all the strategy settings and tracked the campaign metrics to see if we had any changes to make.

It’s a one-month campaign, and we’re not finished yet; we have a call coming up to plan other things. Since this was the company’s beginning, we didn’t want to put too much money into this campaign for the first try — we wanted to see how the sales would go.

What is the team composition?

I only talk to David (Co-Founder), but his colleague also helps him and gives him advice.

How did you come to work with Strike Digital?

I met David during my studies; he was the only person I knew that I could rely on for the task. I called him, and he was delighted to help us, so we decided to try him.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $5,000–$10,000 with them so far. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2021, and the project is ongoing.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since it's going well, we're planning a long-term campaign; we’ve had 200 people clicking on the Facebook and Instagram Ads traffic banner link. We've had many people we didn't know that were reaching out to us to find the product and start following the Facebook and Instagram pages.

How did Strike Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

We started by communicating via email, and then we switched to WhatsApp because it was more manageable, and we’ve also done 2–3 Google Meets video calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

David clearly explains why we were doing what we're doing, and I like that.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on — I'm pretty happy with the results, and we decided to do another campaign with them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Explain what you want and what you're aiming for. If you're clear with David, he'll do his best to reach that goal.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of Valso Media. We provide web & design services to SME. We focus on the design and development of online applications such as CRM, HR, ERP platforms, informational websites and E-commerce solutions.

For what projects/services did your company hire Strike Digital, and what were your goals?

We hired Strike to create more awareness of our brand and to generate leads more consistently throughout the month.

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

We searched online and tapped into our network. We selected Strike based on the fact that they are a young and dynamic team with a convincing background in the advertising space. They were able to structure our thoughts and put together a plan that made sense.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

Before we signed a contract we had multiple video calls with Strike. Getting to know each other, have a basic understanding of each other; discussing our ideas and goals; they came up with a plan; discussed this plan; final proposal.

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

Both the owners worked together on this deal.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Expectations were met. We have seen an increase in conversion on our contact forms that went from around 2 to 4 percent. Difficult to assess the ROI so far but at least a 4:1 output-input ratio.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We are having weekly meetings to discuss progress. David and richard are very fast in responding to any questions I had so far.

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

Their owners are super friendly and smart. Really impressed with their efforts.

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

Nothing to say here.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO and co-founder of a sanitation business. We provide sanitation services, personal protective equipment (PPE), and consultation to businesses to help them reopen amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

What challenge were you trying to address with Strike Digital?

Our team didn’t have much digital marketing experience, and we needed help with building our brand.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Strike Digital provided a range of services for us. The team first redesigned our website, and then they came up with a marketing plan for us. The team basically created and took control of our social media accounts, specifically Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. They also set up campaigns on Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram. To help us get more engagement, they also produced short videos to post on our social media.

What is the team composition?

I worked with the two co-founders.

How did you come to work with Strike Digital?

My co-founder came across Strike Digital, which was situated nearby. We met with them and decided to hire them. 

How much have you invested with them?

Their fee was €900 (approximately $1,000 USD), which didn’t include our spend on the marketing campaigns.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from September 2020–February 2021.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Thanks to Strike Digital's work, we got more followers and engagement on our social media accounts. They produced videos that were eye-catching and effective. The team's advice really helped us build our brand.

How did Strike Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

We worked well together, but they could’ve done better with the project management. We interfaced through WhatsApp, email, and Zoom, but there were times where we experienced a lack of communication. However, when we approached them about it, they did improve. Strike Digital was also a startup, so they were learning how to conduct business as well. The insights they gave us were especially valuable. They also accommodated us by presenting the results the way we preferred and explaining their work to us. Overall, they were an adaptable team.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very ambitious, and they have a deep understanding of marketing. Strike Digital’s services were good for the price. As a startup, price mattered to us — we were satisfied by the value for money.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Aside from the minor communication problems, my only concern was that they seemed to be telling us how to run our business at times. They were coming at it from a different angle than we were, but it wasn’t a big issue. Overall, I’d recommend them with no hesitation.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Set clear goals and relay them to the Strike Digital team, so they can work with you to achieve them.
