OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Power-UP: Marketing Perfomance Agency, and what were your goals?

We hired Power-UP to build our Google Ads portfolio and introduce a steady income from paid channels. Later, we expanded our collaboration to general marketing analytics. Recently, we began to set up a very detailed reporting on user behavior. This also requires experience and knowledge on API integrations, which PowerUp offers.

SOLUTION

PowerUp came as a referral from a business partner. The ease of communication and ability to scale alongside the agency was the defining factor in starting our work together. Also, before we got the agency on a retainer, we commissioned them to fix a google analytics & web tracking bug. They executed the fix quickly.

Currently, we work with PowerUp on PPC and Analytics. This includes scaling our Google Ads & META portfolio and optimizing it for better ROAS.

First step was to get an adversing strategy offer with budgets and hourly rates. Than upon agreeing on that agency proceeded to set up ad accounts and campaigns, set up analytics.

I bit of proactivity in offering optimisation steps and a bit more deep-diving in the product would be cool, but not critical.
