Brief us on the journey of Filesie so far.
Back in 2014, we witnessed a huge demand for digital marketing companies that can deliver timely outcomes as per customers’ needs and generate business, while considering the price conscious market. Hence, we laid the foundation for Filesie as a technology and digital marketing service provider for small & medium business owners who are striving to enhance their RoI.
From delivering multiple digital marketing services, we have transformed into a growth & results-driven inbound marketing agency, presenting customers with viable and maintainable strategies. Customer success has always been our greatest achievement!
Despite facing challenges such as low-level market traction to shutting-down the company, we managed to sail ahead with unswerving determination amidst the burgeoning competition and also bagged a few awards. Some of them are ‘Most Promising Digital Marketing Company in Telangana’ by India Achievers Awards 2019, ‘Udyog Ratan Award’ by National Achievers Recognition Forum at Parliament Press Club and being nominated for the ‘Small Business Awards’ by Entrepreneur Magazine for the year 2020.
What differentiates Filesie from its competitors in the market?
We carved-out a niche position for ourselves in the market by devising customized solutions for our clients to ‘Go Digital’. The differentiating factors of Filesie are that we make a great case for prioritizing our clients’ digital (re)design, make them discoverable to their target audience, support them in every digital interaction, deliver them responsive & optimized digital footprint with 10x value, and make every customer experience unique via personalization technology. This way, clients can enjoy more conversion, better engagement with their customers, and ultimately high RoI.
The core competency of Filesie is hyper-personalization of digital marketing business for our clients, wherein we also monitor browsing behaviour and real-time data to change messages on the fly via manufacturing principles like just-in-time. We apply concepts and principles from other fields into digital marketing to connect content to consumers in ways that no other digital marketing agency would even think about!
Enlighten us on the various tools and technologies that you deploy across your offerings.
Our in-house proprietary framework SHARP (Situation-Hypothesis-Analysis-Reality-Prognosis) is used to execute all our clients’ projects and deliver them 10x returns for their digital footprint. Over the last two years, our clients have reported an average of ten times increase in their revenue. Besides, we deploy WordPress, HTML & PHP (technology stack), Agile CRM & HubSpot CRM (marketing automation stack), Send in blue & Mailchimp (email automation stack), and many tools in campaign monitoring & Growth Hacking stack.
What are the major challenges that you basically face?
Hiring digital marketers and retaining them has always been our biggest challenge! Hence, we established an exclusive digital marketing academy to identify, train and deploy candidates in the same field. With respect to marketing, generating traffic and leads for our clients every month is our main challenge, and at times, even producing freshly brewed content.
