Real results for data-driven teams

“We wanted to test Facebook and Instagram, in the early days Onward was scrappy and helped us get some tests out there and use free tools to help get tests out for the graphics.

We weren’t paying them directly for graphic design services, it was included because their incentives were aligned with ours."

"Media agencies, that world is broken... So a media agency they charge you on X percent based on how much they spend... you’re paying these gigantic monthly fees and you’re rewarding them for essentially turning up the volume and performing the same activities."

"I'm up at 1:30 in the mroning trying to get answers on data, and in my Slack are 2-3 people from Onward... And they're matching that hustle... I've never had that in a data partner."

“Some of the previous agencies we worked with, we didn't have any real time insight. We had some of our own internal dashboards, but it was mostly just a slideshow that they would walk us through once a week. The dashboard is really helpful because Onward and their team have made that the single source of truth, and it can pull from all the different metrics as needed.”

"Understand what works and what doesn't, and this is where Onward has been awesome - let's then define what the next layer that we want to peel back is, and what the new level of granularity is."

"It's very easy to execute marketing when you have a single source of truth and you can point to the dashboard and see how you're doing day over day, month over month, and year over year. It's clear as day."

“A standard partner in the paid ad world is just going to go into the platform and post the content and say some prayers. With Onward, data is the central glue that allows us all to see what’s working, see what’s not, and quickly iterate on doubling down on what’s working.”

"So again, they just feel like an extension of the team, just like you would pay a person or a group of people to, to do the work.

‍

And everyone is sort of aligned around wanting to achieve the outcomes."

"I felt with Onward I could trust in execution on media buying and media strategy, but also their ability to provide the visibility, feedback loop and insights that would allow us to grow client businesses"

"Media agencies, that world is broken... So a media agency they charge you on X percent based on how much they spend... you’re paying these gigantic monthly fees and you’re rewarding them for essentially turning up the volume and performing the same activities."

“We have data on five different platforms, and helping us figure out how to get it to the visualization, and have a single point of truth that we can look at, not just on a monthly basis but a daily basis.”

“Onward is fast, and iterative, and experimental, and intelligent, and having been a founder and CEO in the venture-backed tech world, these are people I would hire. These are people I would want as a part of my culture.”
