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

We needed support with starting a brand new paid media and SEO strategy. Our previous paid media efforts were resulting in expensive CPAs and targeting the wrong audiences. We also knew that were not being intentional with our content marketing when it comes to SEO best practices. LittleHorse has created a fantastic lead generating engine for us with evergreen Google ADs, full-funnel AD structure via LinkedIn, and running tests on other platforms to find potential green space. 

Our CPA used to be around $200 on LinkedIn and we are now spending less than $50. We're also finally getting the job titles and personas that our business needs. LittleHorse has also assisted with all technical aspects of our website for SEO. This, combined with a revised content pillar strategy, we're seeing new life been blown blogs from years ago. Our traffic is steadily increasing and we're excited to continue to increase the rankings of Google search.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We are averaging the number 1 spot on Google for paid media keywords, while still maintaining a low bid. We are seeing pipeline influence from our ADs and generating sales qualified leads from conversions. 

Our database is growing by the hundreds each month with new prospects engaging with our LinkedIn content ADs. We are in the top 5 for a number of critical organic keywords that we want to rank for, including some with SERF attributes. Our blog traffic is increasing month-by-month with each revised publication.

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

Littlehorse has a very high standard when it comes to project management. They operate using Agile methodology, holding weekly sprint meetings and keeping projects closely within scope. We manage tasks and deliverables via Monday.com project management tool, communicate via weekly Zoom calls, and connect a-synchronously via Slack. I cannot speak highly enough of how professional they are when it comes to managing projects.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the President and CEO of URBANDER, a company founded in 2008 to serve as an extension of Marketing, Diversity, Human Resources, Procurement, Community Relations and Social Responsibility teams of our clients, providing innovative approaches in the areas of strategic marketing, content development, workforce development, community outreach and IDEAS (inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility and sustainability).

We formulate and activate business development and integrated marketing interventions that help entities in the corporate, nonprofit and government sectors attain their communication, engagement, and social impact goals.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Lil Horse Inc. , and what were your goals?

After 14 years as Equity Practitioners and Human Impact Strategists, we decided we needed to refresh our brand to better align with the work that we do now that we have developed a reputation for helping companies and organizations find their voices as advocates for humanity in business and in the implemention of strategies that deliver socioeconomic impact.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I was introduced to Oscar García from Lil Horse by a fellow business owner who subcontracted URBANDER to support with several projects. Oscar and I collaborated on one brief project for this common client, yet it was enough for me to recognize that the Lil Horse team has the talent, experience and strategic approach that I find valuable and in alignment with our core values as well. I knew that I would be calling on them to collaborate separately, once the rpoject concluded.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

Oscar and I had a discovery meeting, after which the Lil Horse team submitted a proposal that clearly defined the scope of work for the brand refresh, met URBANDER's allotted budget, and fit our delivery timeline. The scope of work was primarily focused on creating URBANDER's Brand Book, including a brand refresh.

However, I was pleasantly suprised to see that this collaborative brand refresh experience also encompassed articulating our brand's current personality traits and our ideal customer. This was the "extra mile" that allowed us to move forward quickly and swiftly in identifying new business opportunities for URBANDER.

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

Lil Horse's commitment with URBANDER's brand refresh experience included the participation of several subject matter experts on their team. From the firm's Principals Alison and Oscar to their Creative and Marketing Chiefs Mónica and Patrica and their skilled Director of Business Strategy, Paulo, it was ALL HANDS ON DECK. And we appreciated it so much!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We are in the process of updating all of our collaterals and building a strategy to unveil our new look. Everyone within our closest business partners with whom we have share approach and branding loves it. We are book with meeting with new business prospects this month of May, and were able to quickly update our Capabilities Brochure following the clear and thorough URBANDER Brand Book Guidelines that Lil Horse created.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Lil Horse was very accommodating in terms of the times and dates we set to conduct our meeting. They created a detailed outline with project tasks and deadlines to complete each task, which held us accountable to provide feedback in a timely manner to meet our goal of compoleting the project in 6 weeks.

Lil Horse also accommodated working using our CRM eliminating possible challenges in communication. It was awesome. The entire team listened carefully, asked the right questions and were spot on with every new iteration of the Brand Book and its various elements.

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

What most impressed me was Lil Horse Inc.'s commitment to excellence.  We and that we are 1000% aligned in this respect as well as in our core values. When we had the opportunity to meet their Principals during a recent visit to Orlando, they brought us a beautiful box that contained our new Brand Book, and posters reflecting our refreshed branding, all printed on the highest quality stock. We were blown away!

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

Our experience with Lil Horse was and continues to be fantastic. There is nothing they could have done differently. So much so, that we will be rolling out URBANDER's brand refresh reveal with their support. They have become an extension of our team.
