Case Study True North X Everbrave

Navigating north of true growth

Opening up to opportunity

When True North Accounting came to Everbrave, their goals were specific and direct. Thanks to the company’s familiarity with Hubspot, the client knew the verticals where they wanted to focus and what would dictate successful return.

Where they needed support was growing their overall lead generation pipeline, increasing website traffic, and improving overall sales conversions. Basically, bringing people to the website, getting them to contact and sealing the deal – something any company can understand.

As a bustling accounting firm with innumerable clients, having the time and resources to dedicate to marketing purposes was not always viable for True North. Fortunately, in Everbrave, they had a dedicated marketing partner who could help create compelling content, bolster marketing efforts and utilize the full potential of Hubspot to capture and retain new customers.

The Client

True North Accounting provides clients in and around Calgary and Okotoks with a one-stop shop for all their accounting needs including bookkeeping, taxes and small business advice. But, as with any small-to-medium businesses, the main challenge was getting noticed in a highly competitive market.

Organic growth, increasing website traffic and conversions were the ultimate goal for True North. But they also wanted to find a way to stand out. Both Everbrave and True North saw an opportunity to build the brand around care, education and support, and create a reliable resource hub to help small businesses succeed.

By creating a hive of informative and useful content, the company could organically grow in a positive way and shed light on complicated topics in a personable, approachable manner. To connect in a meaningful way and to help entrepreneurs and business owners thrive.

The Everbrave Solution

True North recruited Everbrave for their full suite marketing services in February 2021. After just a year of utilizing our expertise, Everbrave was able to pull a number of wins and generate more traffic and leads than previously estimated. Using traditional inbound marketing strategies, Everbrave was able to streamline and improve upon True North’s existing marketing strategies and introduce a number of new ones. We fine-tuned content, applied SEO-focus and created lead-generation strategies to support new premium, high-quality content.

We introduced sophisticated workflows to support lead nurturing, created a yearly content plan, optimized email marketing and included a support strategy to help through the busy tax season. We also identified opportunities, like creating an engaging and highly personable video series to help customers with common tax questions and financial concerns. We found new ways to reach audiences and did so with timely, valuable content that satisfied client and visitor needs and further proved True North’s commitment to education and care.
