How Soar With Us Scaled Revenue 350% While Retaining 50% Margins In 24 Months

Situation

When Soar With Us came to Hydra nearly 3 years ago, they had all of the makings of a great agency.

The fundamental problem was they didn’t have repeatable processes across each department of the business that would scale with the demands of their growth. 

Some areas of concern prior to our engagement included:

  • Hiring processes
  • Systemizing their fulfillment processes across media buying, creative, and email
  • Continuous improvement output of their teams & systems
  • Sales & marketing strategy & operations

What We Implemented

Our first priority was to focus on enhancing creative service scalability, expanding service offerings, and optimizing cost structures. 

  1. Service Diversification

Expanded beyond Facebook paid media to include comprehensive creative services, retention marketing, and content production.When we first engaged with SWU, there were no project management or workflows to manage all of these services in an organized fashion. 

We implemented 

  • ClickUp Project Management 
  • ClickUp Account Management & Tracking

This improved the lifetime value of each client and SWU gained increased market share as clients looked to consolidate agencies for their services. 

  1. Team Expansion and Retention

We built & implemented a robust hiring process and installed staff management & performance review practices, which increased their team roster from 9 to 28 within SOAR without a single employee leaving. 

  1. Strategic Acquisition 

Hydra advised on the acquisition of a creative content agency, growing the workforce to nearly 60 employees and broadening service capabilities, as it was easier to purchase a firm doing this than build it out internally. 

  1. Product & Offer Strategy

Emphasized creative services as a key revenue stream, and facilitated better profit margins through strategic pricing and package restructuring based on labor costs. 

  • Went through our pricing calculator process to determine labor & pass through expenses needed per client, per project. 
  • Created pricing for m
  1. Sales Infrastructure 

So what happened as a result of all this? 

  • Monthly recurring revenue soared from £80,000 to £250,000 (no pun intended)
  • Monthly profits approached six figures, reflecting improved operational efficiency and strategic pricing.
  • Successful acquisition of an integrated content agency, growing the workforce to nearly 60 employees and broadening service capabilities.

What Are We Focused On Now? 

Nearly 3 years into our partnership, we’re continuing to hone the integration of the newly acquired business and refining sales processes to further scale revenue and operational efficiency.

What SOAR With Us Had To Say: 

"Hydra Consulting didn't just provide solutions; they transformed our business framework, enabling us to scale in ways we hadn't imagined. Their hands-on approach and commitment to our growth have been invaluable. Partnering with Hydra is a no-brainer for any agency poised for exponential growth."
