Project Format & Description

Mentorship and advisory to the growth, marketing, and partnership team members over two months, along with the leadership team, to discover new acquisition channel sources that generate sustainable growth.

  • 3 hours of weekly mentorship.
  • 1 hour weekly of offline support for the team (to help them solve day-to-day challenges).

Time commitment

  • 8 weeks
  • 4 hours per week

Outcome and Impact

Arrenda was matched with a senior Head of Growth who trained junior team members on how to run high-potential experiments to acquire new customers using Google Ads and other platforms in a way that can produce replicable results, based on years of experience in the fintech industry. Arrenda ended up with a new strategy that renders ~150 new real estate brokers’ leads weekly. More importantly, the team acquired the know-how to experiment and create similar strategies to acquire other client segments. The time completion was 2 months. It is important to note that the client company was originally thinking of acquiring a full-time role to tackle this challenge, and would have incurred a much larger time and monetary cost.
