Soba: Private Label is the marketing agency for people that don’t want to be fucked around, left wondering what the hell their agency is up to, and actually want new business - not just a pit to throw money into. We don’t do everything. We only do what you need. You’re not going to get sold some PPC that ends up on a click farm website and contributes to the billions lost to ad fraud every year (this is very, very real), and then try and amaze you with click through rates. Instead, we’re going to get you new business (and help you retain it).We’ll combine prospecting, lead generation (and qualification, obviously) with some LinkedIn, email marketing, and a sprinkling of market positioning and sales proposition development. Which means you get: > A list of new prospects who are well researched and right for your business (we don’t do shotgun approaches and certainly not flusterclucks) > Market positioning so your ideal customer knows that you’re the only option for them> Sales proposition development so it’s easier than ever to talk about and sell your product> An ongoing email campaign that nurtures those prospects and gets them ready to buy> LinkedIn content to support your campaign> Telephone prospecting to turn those nurtured prospects into customers (provided by our handsome partner, The Humaneers)> You become richer than God*I bet you’re thinking this is all too good to be true, so it’s lucky you don’t have to take my word for it. “Soba has given us a range of solutions to marketing challenges like copywriting, direct marketing, customer acquisition, and creative and strategic thinking.
