Client feedback
“Operator was critical to helping us profitably scale our acquisition campaigns by an order of magnitude. Their analytical rigor, creativity, and sheer knowledge of digital marketing kept our team laser-focused on optimizing our campaigns to success.”
Brandon Camhi
VP of Marketing, Shogun
“We were able to significantly scale paid search spend while improving CPA, which moved the channel into our top 3 most efficient and was a driver in exceeding our business goals. They are truly partners – their services are always personalized to us and our business needs. The team communicates consistently and productively and looks for ways to test and optimize to bring our account performance to the next level. We can’t recommend them enough!”
Katie Isles
Head of Growth, The Farmer’s Dog
“Over the course of 3 months, Operator consulted on our transformation to a true audience-first digital marketing approach. Working closely with the team, he helped develop strategies for acquisition, conversion and measurement. His ability to see the big picture coupled with his expert level understanding of direct response, digital marketing and e-commerce business models and KPIs made him an invaluable component of our success.”
David Gallon
VP of Global Brand & Integrated Marketing, Tory Burch
“They are terrific to work with. Flexible/adaptable in working with startups, good grasp on the data we needed, and results oriented. We were able to boost our email marketing conversion rates significantly and hone our MQLs for the business. They had both the soft and technical skills we needed to advance CoinDesk's marketing infrastructure and drive audience growth, without pissing off our audience with bad UX. CoinDesk is now one of the healthiest and highest growth media companies in the world, and they played a nice role in that growth during our restructuring.”
Ryan Selkis
CEO, CoinDesk
