Summary
Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, 454 Creative proved to be a solid partner in our digital marketing campaign for a litter removal service. Their expertise in PPC, advertising, and content creation contributed to increased open rates and a converted sale. While there were minor hiccups along the way, their thoroughness and attention to detail were commendable, making them a valuable asset to our team.
Project Description
Their work primarily focused on implementing cutting-edge digital marketing tactics, including PPC, regional marketing, and advertising campaigns on LinkedIn. They conducted thorough research to understand our business needs and developed an email marketing campaign, as well as created landing pages for our Adopt A Beach program. The team was composed of a lead teammate, an account manager, and IT professionals. We found them through an online search for local marketing services, and invested approximately $15,000 in their services. Our collaboration lasted from December 2019 to June 2020, with plans for further work before COVID-19 impacted our project timeline.
Pros
Their attention to detail was outstanding, especially during the onboarding process. They took the time to fully comprehend our business and were very meticulous in their approach. The team was receptive to our needs and worked collaboratively with us throughout the project.
Cons
There were a few instances where they could have been more prepared for meetings, but overall, it did not significantly impact our experience working with them.
