The Challenge

NoGood was tapped by a leading SaaS brand as the growth marketing agency to help bring their newest product to market and understand product-market fit. They needed brand positioning, user acquisition strategy, and product-led retention. 

Results

We increased total sign ups by 25% through a retention-first acquisition strategy based on deep user insights to drive conversion to paid users. This included a CRM strategy with feedback interviews and collection touch-points that led to continuous product interaction, which continued to drive measurable growth quarter after quarter. We also surpassed industry-standard benchmarks since launch with 97% of total user sign ups being driven by NoGood’s paid media acquisition strategy. 

The NoGood team helped establish authority in a saturated vertical of productivity tools, by focusing on growth retention to increase active use of the product and overall product adoption. Cohort specific nurture campaigns, gamifying the user experience and in-product marketing to determine positioning and messaging led to a 35% increase from user sign ups to active trial users.
