From Agency to Ally: We’ve Unlocked the Secrets to True Business Growth
Growth by its very nature is unfamiliar - and inherently risky. And yet, it doesn’t stop the visionaries looking to take their business to new heights. So what’s the secret? Well, the ones that scale and grow year over year have a few things in common:
Marketing and Sales are NEVER an afterthought. Whether it's a marketing or communications department or sales team — It’s an essential part of their business. They protect their budgets and resources because they know it drives results and growth.
They want invested partners who drive innovation and push them to seize new opportunities. They’ve cut out the “yes-men” and sought out staff, consultants and specialists who challenge them to think differently while solving high-level problems.
They don’t compromise on results, ever. They aren’t afraid to pivot and respond to change, trend and market demands - but will prioritize results and keep investing in what IS working. It means not being afraid to double down when a tactic is producing great returns.
After 16 years of navigating the advertising and marketing landscape, we’ve seen firsthand how traditional or “textbook” tactics are no longer enough for many B2B clients’ needs. Marketing across any platform is increasingly competitive and complex to navigate. In order to drive impact and results for our clients seeking real, sustainable and repeatable growth in their businesses, we knew it was time to launch a new approach and welcomed an evolution from an agency or service provider to a Strategic Growth Partner (SGP).
We’ve been devoted and invested since the beginning in the success of our clients beyond the final bill and deliverables. So it’s a natural evolution as Freshly clients who have been with us long-term can vouch for the countless hours of business and strategy coaching we simply couldn’t help but offer to round out their experience with us. Consider it a formalization as a real offering for companies who want a partner that’s just as laser-focused on their success as they are now, and in the future.
This program is built to support your whole team and build capacity at the C-Suite level, while continuing to deliver the exceptional results Freshly has always been known for. By working closely with the leaders in your business, we'll identify your biggest challenges and opportunities, and develop a customized strategy to achieve your goals.
What Sets Growth Partner Apart?
Agility & Speed
We operate like a marketing and sales department - an extension of your team, with an in-depth understanding of your business needs and strategic direction, making collaboration and implementation seamless - and fast. Without adding more tasks and load back onto YOUR team. Better still, we don’t lock you into strict service contracts so we can move between tactics as needed, and as your business needs evolve and change.
A Laser-Focused (Niche) Approach
By focusing on a niche, you can command higher prices and differentiate yourself from competitors. Following the 3S formula - specific problems, for specific people, in a specific way means your results are transformed. This approach will allow you to stand out in a crowded marketplace and focus your marketing spends in, bringing a higher ROI.
A Holistic Mindset
Instead of focusing solely on marketing tactics, we dive deep into the entire business ecosystem. This means considering every aspect of your business, from sales and operations to brand strategy and customer experience. We identify opportunities for growth and improvement that may not be immediately apparent. This allows us to deliver more significant and sustainable results for your business.
Commitment to (Read Obsession With) Your Success
When you join our SGP program we move beyond the service provider relationship and become your strongest ally, we are just as committed as you are to your long-term success. We will work closely with you to understand your business objectives and align our strategies accordingly. We will keep you informed every step of the way, providing regular updates and insights. But it’s not just about quick wins, we’re after long term, sustainable growth.
