lines, and elaborate customer journeys, developing a holistic
marketing strategy can seem daunting.
When Tobias Arns stepped in as CMO of Kindly in 2020,
he was overjoyed by the number of opportunities for growth.
From the launch of a new website, to conversion optimization,
brand strategy, product messaging, and buyer persona
development, there was a lot of work to do.
That’s where AS Marketing stepped in. We immediately helped
Tobias and his team prioritize their top marketing opportunities
that quickly became their regular marketing roadmap.

How We Helped Kindly Scale Their Marketing Strategy

SEO Content Strategy
Kindly initially approached us for a website relaunch project. We took this opportunity to future-proof their overall marketing strategy with an SEO audit and content plan that connects and converts their ideal audience.

Brand Positioning, Buyer Personas, and Product Messaging Strategy
To further strengthen their marketing foundations, we helped them carve out their niche and set the stage for becoming thought leaders in the conversational AI space by clarifying who they are serving and how they show up best as a brand.

LinkedIn Strategy
Linkedin is where their people hang out, so we crafted messaging strategies for their team to execute.

Marketing Operations
We helped refine their overall marketing operations from attracting and recruiting the talent they desired to streamlining their content production process.

Google Advertising Strategy
Our team set up the Google advertising strategy that has increased the quality of the leads coming through.
Here are the top results:

Sustained organic traffic growth, thanks to a future-proof SEO strategy.

312% organic traffic growth globally and 10x organic growth in Sweden, one of their key markets (from April 2021 to March 2022)

107% increase in conversions (from October 2021 to March 2022)

A full understanding of their marketing and business growth priorities, their brand positioning and buyer personas, and the next steps they need to take for continuous and sustainable growth.
I contacted AS Marketing for SEO support with the upcoming relaunch of our brand and website. The collaboration was extremely successful, so we decided to continue working with them on an ongoing basis.
I love working together with AS Marketing, because they have an amazingly collaborative mindset, are highly organized, and have gone far beyond supporting us with SEO. They’ve also helped with our brand strategy, product messaging, Google Ad campaigns, and LinkedIn strategy.
They’ve been a huge help in Kindly’s growth journey and I am highly optimistic that will continue to be the case throughout the future.
