Digital marketing power.

Digital marketing power.  This has been our mantra since we opened our virtual doors nine years ago.  Little did we know how this would open so many doors and make our clients’ dreams come true.  This year has been a treasure of diverse accomplishments, learnings and inspiration.

Here are our top 9 achievements in 2024:

9. Becoming a HubSpot partner

After many years of supporting our clients with their HubSpot needs – whether it be creating their sales pipeline, customizing invoices, developing on-the-fly landing pages, custom-coding automations, building lead gen ad campaigns — we finally decided to make it official and become a HubSpot partner.  What does this mean to our clients?  Early access to new product launches, expedited customer support, and lotsa HubSpot love.

8. 500 animals re-homed at Dogs of Portugal

Since launching the website that we created for Dogs of Portugal, a portal that supports Portugal’s largest animal rescue and re-homing shelter with more than 700+ dogs available for adoption, we celebrated our 500th adoption in November of 2024.  Our custom-build search engine has facilitated the adoption process for prospective adopters, as well as for the exceptional team of volunteers who can not efficiently upload new animals to the site and share easily across their socials.

7. $7.8 M in lead-gen sales for a growing US accounting software company

We began collaborating with this growing accounting software company in late 2023.  We were tasked with the objective of creating their HubSpot sales pipeline while also building out a lead generation campaign on LinkedIn and streamlining internal processes, such as invoicing and commission calculations – all within the HubSpot platform.  While we can not take full credit for their staggering $7.8 M in sales over the last 12 months, we do feel proud of being part of this landmark achievement.

6. Expanding our network of digital ninjas into 6 continents

When we launched nine years ago, we were one of the first-ever digital marketing virtual agencies.  Meaning, all of our so-called staff worked from home.  Our office: Zoom or Skype. We quickly started hiring ninjas from outside of our native Canada. Then five years ago, we set this lofty bar for ourselves (no one asked us to): to build a network of experts across all 7 continents on our globe.  Two years ago we achieved 5 continents when we added three experts in Israel, Egypt and Mozambique.  Today we are proud to have active freelancers in these countries: Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Ukraine, United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel, India, Mozambique, Pakistan, Portugal.  Yup, that makes 6 continents (sorry Antarctica).

5. AddressFull app design and launch

AddressFull is an app that connects individuals with organisations easily and safely, all in one spot. Our partnership began wayyyy back in …. 2017?  It was called something else, but the core concept was the same and the founder was very focused and determined.  He still is.  Since then, we have worked with Thabo and the team on honing in on the product, value proposition, core values, and ultimately the app design and branding.  Of which we are very proud.

4. Most Outstanding International Digital Agency 2024

We do get nominated for – or even win – some awards.  But this one was really special to us because it acknowledged our global presence, not just in terms of our clients in 48+ countries but also because of our global network of digital experts.

3. 1,000 pitch decks that have generated $250M+ in investments

Making pitch decks is not a sexy thing.  We know it. But since we started offering this service about 7 years ago, we recently celebrated making our 1,000th pitch deck.  One of our pitch deck designers decided to tally up the associated dollar$ with said decks, and it came to a whopping $250M (or more, we went conservative).  Now, this IS sexy.  But let it be known: not all pitch decks are equal.  One of them generated $50M, another $5k.  We do not discriminate.  Every business from start-up to enterprise is important to us 🙂

2. Integrating AI every step of the way

Like it or not, there is little that we can do to change the fact that AI will be a part of our lives starting yesterday, and into the foreseeable future.  In about 2022, we decided to seriously take this on board by investigating how this could support our clients.  Quickly we began incorporating AI into our content and design processes, namely for blog posts, social media, copy writing, email A/B testing, and graphic design.  All of these savings in time we have gladly passed onto our clients.

1. We made it to 9 years!

We set out to be an anti-agency. We did not seek recognition, we do not heavily advertise, and we do not tout our awesome digital ninjas (we do not want our competition to pinch them).  We are proud to have remained true to ourselves and supported so many businesses achieve their dreams.  Here is something from our first website back in 2015.
