The Problem Your company is past the product stage; you have some money and some traction, but you lack the marketing experience or resources in the executive team and haven't hit the critical point of growth.
Solution A Hire Full Time Marketers Hiring marketers still creates work for you and doesn't advance the business - BUT onboarding a team is even more costly and risky at an early stage of growth or pivot.
Solution B Contract an agency for each aspect of marketing Hiring an independent agency for branding, PPC, and every other aspect of marketing is costly, inefficient, and requires constant oversight.
Solution C Work with a curated team of ex-CMOs with vast industry experience

Owl Labs THE WORLD'S FIRST SMART VIDEO CONFERENCE CAMERA; OVER $2.5M IN REVENUE 2018 TO DATE THE PROBLEM In March 2017, right before the launch of Meeting Owl, the Owl Labs team knew they needed robust marketing to help introduce their product to the marketplace. They came to YDNACMO for a full marketing strategy and implementation.

LoanSnap A SMART LOAN APP AND DIRECT LENDER CHANGING THE MORTGAGE; BACKED 6.5M BY RICHARD BRANSON'S VIRGIN GROUP BACKGROUND LoanSnap has introduced an artificial intelligence-backed “smart” loan technology that helps mortgage borrowers. The company was founded by CEO Karl Jacob and CTO Allan Carroll, in 2017 and is making loans in California, with plans to expand to 20 additional states by the end of the year, Richard Branson, the billionaire founder of Virgin Group, and former National Football League quarterback Joe Montana are early investors. Their mission is to make getting a mortgage faster and easier while presenting data gathered in the application process to customers to help them make financial decisions. THE PROBLEM A key challenge to LoanSnap was obviously the lack of brand recognition. Right after their funding launch, they came to us for marketing strategy and implementation. This included - branding, social media and a robust email strategies and their major targeted audience - millennials. THE SOLUTION We created an email marketing and conversion strategy plan to overcome lack of brand recognition, develop extensive press coverage through micro-influencer outreach; leverage Richard Branson and existing media coverage and partner with millennial-based/rising personal finance apps such as microloan service Dave and Mint-alternative Personal Capital with the intention being to rise on the app store charts through mobile SEO. We combined messaging, extensive A/B testing on the testing platform Iterable, along with advanced segmentation using demographic data appended. THE SUCCESSFUL RESULTS We initiated an Email campaign to hundreds of thousands in California beta - open rate = 50% - action rate -> credit card entry = up 3x (5-15) Our strategy has doubled the conversion rate from abandoned carts.
We Launched A Mobile App to 50,000 Users and $30k in Crowdfunding in Two Months Hallow THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MEDITATION APP; "HEADSPACE" FOR PRAYER BACKGROUND HallowApp is a digital platform that aims to energize faith lives and enable prayer with meditations and guided prayers.
