Red-engage

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Founder of Okapi Finance Holding AB

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Okapi accelerates financial inclusion by increasing accessibility of financial services. We believe that everyone should be able to access financial services, regardless of where they live and their financial status.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Red Engage to accomplish?

We needed Red Engage to build Okapi Finance's name in finance Reddit communities. Sales cycles drag in treasury management, so we wanted early awareness from CFOs and finance directors. Goals were driving targeted traffic to our cashflow platform, establishing us as experts in working capital tools, and getting demo requests rolling in naturally.

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

They took charge of our entire Reddit plan right from the start. First they checked out which finance subs were active, then knocked out 12-16 solid posts every month that hit real pain points, jumped into all the comments and discussions, and kept close tabs on what worked. 
We got a posting schedule covering r/finance, r/SaaS, r/treasury weekly reports breaking down upvotes, comments, and clicks, monthly catch-ups to tweak the strategy, plus special UTM links so we could see exactly which posts filled our demo forms. Handled absolutely everything.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Posts really took off engagement shot up 36%, from around 75 interactions each to 102 on average. Reddit started sending us 26% more traffic straight to the site, and we got 19 proper demo requests coming right from DMs and thread replies. The best bit? Finance folks began mentioning Okapi naturally in cash management conversations no pushing needed, just genuine awareness spreading on its own.

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

Brilliant throughout. Slack channel for daily updates, Trello showing every post's status, short weekly video catch-ups. Always ahead of schedule, even when we changed priorities halfway through months. Super responsive content revisions or new targeting done same day. Navigated our EMEA hours without issue.

What was your primary form of communication with Red Engage?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

They nailed the finance community voice perfectly. Posts felt like treasury pros sharing real working capital insights, not marketing fluff fielded detailed questions on API integrations, FX hedging tools, cash forecasting. Turned one post into weeks of valuable conversation making Okapi the obvious expert choice.

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

Could've targeted r/CFOs earlier since that's prime audience, but began with wider finance subs. Minor thing really they smashed primary goals and we successfully expanded into C-suite communities later.
