“I’m extremely satisfied. The transformation happened a lot faster than I expected. It’s based on the fact that I did not even try to build this competence inhouse, and instead selected a partner that we can trust. We dared to take a risk and they handled that trust in a humble and professional way. I’m most confident in our cooperation with Vekst.”

Key success factors.

 

Agile budget allocation

Continuous evaluation and allocation of budget to the activity, campaign and / or channel that delivered the best results at each point of time was rewarding.

Data-driven follow-up

KPIs and goals for each market were developed early in the process and were evaluated and adjusted along the way as more insights were gained. Every digital activity has been evaluated continuously in relation to the KPIs.

Optimized customer journey

Together with the client, Vekst has developed and optimized the customer journey to maximize the number of converting customers. Audience selection and ad design should harmonize with the landing pages as well as call to actions and conversion funnels to achieve an optimal customer journey.
