We were exploring whether or not the emerging social networks were reflective of cities and the communities with them and if social networks would indeed become the new city or city of the future.

This research was the foundation of the most popular session at a major international conference that was trending globally on twitter and raised significant awareness of the work and our organisation. While the overall conclusion of the research was that social networks exhibited many city-like qualities, the prospect of them becoming the new city was unlikely.

Very good and effective project management. All items delivered on time and on budget.

Their research was deep, iterative, and experiential. That, combined with the practical application of the outputs, was impressive.

We asked Volterra to do an audit of our current social media platforms and provide some data and benchmarking work. From the audit, we were looking for some recommended actions to take at tiered levels to meet industry benchmarks (here's what you need to do from a bare minimum, here's what good could look like, and here's where you could knock it out of the park). Finally, we wanted to see some unexpected inspiration from companies within and outside of our industry who were making a real mark.

Volterra did a great job of listening to what we were looking for and they were right on the mark with everything we asked for - and delivered on time.

What I found impressive was the dedication and commitment to ensuring they delivered what we were looking for specifically, not some sort of canned solution or program

I was VP of communications for a wealth management organization.

My former company and its lines of business didn’t have active social media capabilities. Thus, after creating an internal department to handle content sourcing, we hired Volterra to develop content creation and implementation strategies.

Volterra helped us create and implement content for our social media pages, mainly focusing on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. We also worked out a system where they had a standard set of answers for common questions, but they were able to recognize and alert us when a customer needed a higher level of support. Additionally, Volterra worked in conjunction with other agencies within our organization in a coordinated effort.

We worked primarily with Andrew (Principal). As VP, I supervised my director to work with him, and I also joined during higher-level meetings.

I knew Andrew through a networking organization.

We started working together around late August 2019, and Volterra keeps working with them.

As I left my former company, I no longer have access to metrics. However, according to the KPIs that we established at the beginning of our engagement, I recognized regular growth over my tenure.

Andrew had a mature and almost scholarly approach to communications in general.

Volterra applied their communication skills really well to the social media requirements of our industry, which is largely driven by trends and reactionary tendencies. Andrew always had the why behind the what.

No, I was very happy with them.

Listen to Andrew and appreciate his expertise.

I’m the President of Integram Training Group, a business training firm.

We needed their social media marketing and creative production efforts to acquire new customers.

Our team strategizes and formulates our marketing preferences and brand message. Volterra then executes those insights through social media marketing campaigns to expand our reach on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat. Additionally, they help us develop and refine content for our campaign and training materials, depending on trends, clients, and special events. In line with this, they’ve produced a video for our YouTube account and managed that platform as well.

My main point of contact is Andrew (Principal).

I met Andrew through one of my long-term clients.

We’ve spent under $50,000.

Our ongoing collaboration commenced in January 2016.

I can’t say enough good things about Volterra’s work — they understand the demands of my customers and are capable of bringing in innovative marketing and production solutions to address those. Andrew’s knowledge of the ins and outs of social media marketing rewards us with lucrative results.

Volterra is a well-coordinated team with top-notch presentation and communication skills. I’m not always working actively on the project, but I know they’re keen on providing thorough documentation and managing their time effectively.

What stands out about Volterra is their ability to present their ideas cleverly, which assures us that we’ve entrusted our needs to the right people.

Understand the scope of work needed to address your goals and present a comprehensive project brief to Volterra’s team.

I’m the president of a specialized marketing agency focused on small business content for banks and brands.

We hired Volterra to help us focus consistently on building our social media channels. We were time-pressed and focused on giving our clients the service they deserved. Additionally, we were not experts on social media.

The team helps us establish our presence on social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. They also craft content for those channels, and they reuse some of our existing content. Volterra usually posts articles and blogs such as business articles, how-to business news, business tips, and other things our target audience wants to hear. After curating our content, they send out a mix of original and shared content. They post several times a day or a week.

My main contact is Andrew (Principal), and he has a team behind him.

We spend under $12,000 annually.

We began collaborating together in February 2018, and it’s ongoing.

They’ve been very good at finding relevant content to share on our social media platforms. I also have evidence that our followers have gone up on Twitter. Additionally, we’ve gotten around two dozen or more high-value connections on LinkedIn. Then, on Facebook, we’ve got hundreds of likes. Overall, we’ve experienced enhanced visibility and way more shares — Volterra has created an audience for us that wasn’t originally within our reach.

We usually have monthly check-ins by phone and in between that, we email each other. I appreciate their attention to detail. My team can still jump on our social media pages, but we don’t have to because we know that Volterra keeps the engine running. As a result, I’ve recommended them to a few other business owners.

Their ability to elevate our visibility on social media channels has been impressive. Volterra certainly knows how to do things well. Other companies who are interested in working with them can expect increased referrals, leads, engagement, and visibility.

I just wish more people know what Volterra can do for their business.

Trust Volterra’s process, and let them guide you with their expertise. They have a lot of experience, and they have a lot of clients in different industries. Above all, trust them to get the results that you want.
