Hello and Happy New Year!

This blog is going to be a little different from the usual DTC content that we put out. This time we just thought it would be nice to offer a quick business update (for anyone who cares). 

2023 was a big year for us in terms of agency growth, client growth, as well as team and personal growth. Let's dive into some of 2023’s stand out moments for Soar With Us.

‍

Agency growth

‍When we look back on 2023, it’s been a huge year for us in terms of team, client, and overall agency growth. 

If you look at the time between the 1st of January 2023 and the 1st of January 2024 our team has almost DOUBLED in size (and we’ve seen 4 internal promotions over the year. 

We’re absolutely dedicated to client growth, the higher the performance of the brands we work with the more people we need to bring in to support with accounts. Let’s look into some specific growth numbers…

• In the last year ad spend under management has grown by 484%
• In the last year ad revenue under management has grown by 500% 
• Client retention rate is at 95%

And none of this would have been possible without the amazing team that we have behind us driving these results forward consistently. 

You can read a little more about this growth as well as our long-term partnership with Triple Whale here.‍
