WE ARE OBSESSED WITH DRIVING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
As a Certified B Corporation, we're part of a global movement of leaders committed to using their business as a force for good.
First and foremost, our mission is to amplify yours.
We do this by focusing on ROI. Some of our proud success stories include:
- Doubling the conversion rate and spend per customer for our ecommerce clients.
- Landing the largest client one digital agency had ever had through organic search within 4 months of launching their pillar page.
- Helping one client avoid months of wasted time and at least 5 figures of marketing dollars in investment focusing on the wrong target customer based on the research insights gained.
Cutting edge market research
We are building a community of people that want to buy “better.”
By choosing to work with Noel & Co., you are also opening up the opportunity to connect with better made easy - a sustainability-focused online store that makes it super easy for you to curate thoughtful gifts that give back.
For you, this means working with a consultancy that is managing its own sizable marketing budget and is constantly testing best practices in storytelling and driving sustainable growth by scaling our own brand.
And if your organization sells a product, it also means access to the ultimate A/B testing grounds to explore ways to better engage with new audiences.
Wondering which color will sell? Which product name drives higher click rate?
We can answer these questions and more before you begin selling on your site.
EQUITY THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP
At Noel & Co. we also want to see a future where the next generation of mission-driven entrepreneurs has the community and strategic support they need to thrive.
To make this happen we've both coached and hosted events for hundreds of founders.
We're currently in the beta version of a course to help founders figure their sh*t out.
If you or any founders you know could benefit from having more community and strategic support, be sure to check out the FYSO website at fyso.co.
When you work with Noel & Co.:
You're supporting a women-led social enterprise that lives its values.
- We donate, at minimum, 5% of our profits to local non-profit organizations.
- We are committed to being good environmental stewards in how we operate.
- We source our vendors locally, when possible, and limit our waste.
