CEO @ The Graygency | Where Brand & Performance Marketing Meet

It’s only possible for brands to scale their performance marketing in one of two situations.

1. When they understand and can quantify the commercial and strategic impact it has on their business.

2. When they have a tonne of somebody else’s money to spend in the hope of stumbling across something along the way that works. 

In the current landscape, in-platform ROAS numbers alone are NOT ENOUGH to protect your marketing budget.

Performance marketing as you knew it has changed.

Now the thought of answering questions in the weekly trading meeting probably makes you sweat. 

Don’t even mention attribution. 

Everyday, it feels like your competitors are performing better.

Because your Paid Media Strategy is WEAK.

As a result, you’re wasting hundreds of thousands on paid-media and developing content without understanding the impact it has on brand building activity or your bottom line. 

It’s time to break free from this cycle of uncertainty.

Now, imagine having an agency partner that not only cuts through the data for you, but also explains the marketing science behind it. 

Delivering measurable commercial outcomes. 

Your business experiences growth.

Making marketing and trading meetings a breeze.

Instead of being grilled on how much you’re spending, you’re now asked what other initiatives can we look at?

How do we allocate more resources, and what positions do you need to hire? 

This is your chance to implement YOUR VISION and move the business forward.

You’re probably wondering, ‘How do we reach that stage?’ 

That’s where we come in.

When you partner with us, you’ll receive:

Comprehensive Paid Media Strategy & Execution: We meticulously plan, deliver, and enhance your media campaigns, providing creative insights and translating data into actionable steps that fuel continuous growth.

Unparalleled Commercial Insights: Leave the number crunching to us. We measure brand and commercial uplift, delivering clear insights into the success of your marketing efforts and your true ROI.

Transparency at Every Step: We believe in complete transparency. You’ll always be in the loop about your performance marketing activities and feel comfortable explaining them to others.

But most importantly, we deliver RESULTS. 

This is a results-driven business, and our focus is on driving tangible success for your brand.

If you’re serious about amplifying your paid media budget and bringing your strategy to life?

We’re excited to meet you and embark on this journey together!

Growth Officer

Planet Amino / Aminoversum Oy

Grew Planet Amino's sales by 290 % (jul-sep vs previous period), making their ecom store their primary sales channel.

Here's a quote from the customer once we started scaling, leading them to bake their power cookies non-stop:
"I don't know if you've heard of a concept that's popular in Silicon Valley called 996. Legend has it that at Huawei, people work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. If you want to succeed, you have to follow it, and that's what we've been doing this week :D"

In the first few months of working with them we made the following major changes to achieve these results:

1. Defining their target audience and unique selling points together with key objections to tackle.

2. Refining their offer to lower the friction for consumers to purchase. This included introducing bundles, highlighting the most popular bundle, price anchoring, free shipping and more.

3. Looking into their existing channel mix and identifying the one channel to focus on for customer acquisition.

4. Creating crucial email automations incl. welcome series, abandoned checkout and post-purchase flow.

5. Optimizing their landing page by including conversion elements e.g. social proof, USPs, professional imagery of their power cookies and key features of their product.

6. Fixing their pixel tracking setup and introducing server-side tracking.

7. A set of ads to drive TOF traffic and CRO.

HELT

In short:
Building the AirBnB of wellness services.


Caught your attention? Read on:
The wellness industry is fragmented.

🤔 What's that one brand that comes to your mind when you'd want to order a ride? How about rent a place when going abroad? You can probably think of a few brands right.

😒 Now, what is that one brand you go to when you want to improve your wellness? Google and referrals are at least common means for screening different service providers. But is that really how the experience should be? Fragmented and inconvenient.

😏 Next, imagine for a moment being a wellness center owner or professional. You want to build your online business. You buy a domain. Put up a website. Integrate video hosting. Add payment gateways. Some customer support functionality. The list goes on. You probably got a headache just by reading that.

💡 By building the AirBnB of wellness services, HELT brings convenience to consumers by enabling them to screen through different service providers, compare them, purchase and consume their services inside one platform. On the other hand, wellness centers and professionals get a powerful tool for building their online business with a snap of a finger.


HELT's vision is to make the 🌎 a healthier place.

Co-founder, Marketing

Giveaway App

Building the Instagram of product trials and freebies.

Giveaway App is building a hub for giveaways, freebies and product trials to help consumers discover new products and brands by gamifying the experience. Businesses, on the other hand, can reach new audiences, increase their social presence and acquire leads cost-efficiently.

Helsinking

Brands around the world strive to be relevant for an increasingly global, yet increasingly fragmented audience. Beyond gaining a brief blip of attention, how do you build trust and ongoing engagement? Not with consumers, but with people? The key to that long-term relationship is to create value by making a meaningful impact on and in people’s lives.

This is what we do.

The HELSINKING Experience is a collaborative creative process that digs deep into the brands core and strives to define what’s next for it.  We work best with partners that want to challenge the status quo, toss out tired ways of thinking, and have a curiosity for the unknown. Partners that are the vanguards of their respective fields. Ones that want to create what’s next for them, us and the world, together.
