One million dollar business in under a year - Matt Colletta, Deviate Deviate Agency is a top digital marketing agency in Los Angeles. It is one of the most well-reputed and trusted agencies you will ever come across. Since its founding in 2014, the company has slowly built a nationwide network of clients. It has been on the news for providing unmatched quality services to small and large enterprises looking for websites and digital marketing services. This article is about how this agency has grown from making $10,000 a year to $1 million a year. You can perceive this as an inspirational post and a business lesson at the same time. It was the year 2020 and businesses around the world were shifting towards digital platforms. Deviate was on the rise towards glory as more and more clients were getting on board. Matt Colletta, the chief content strategist at Deviate says, “There came a point we realized that we couldn’t take more orders. We had to limit the number of service orders and keep the others on a waiting list. There was so much going on in that year and the business was seeing a new high. It was unreal and we were excited to see the growth in trust and the boost in clients approaching us” Matt goes on to say that the client base that was built over five years was bringing in more clients. It was word-of-mouth marketing. Not a dime was spent on marketing. This shows the power of building an audience and gaining their trust. The pool of clients coming in brought huge income opportunities for the company. Matt recalls having to hire more professionals in a short timeframe to handle the orders. There was something magical that was happening. Or maybe it was just the way the agency worked that made it attractive for clients. In any way, Deviate was beating some of the industry leaders in terms of acquiring clients. The primary thing that Deviate did was creating a brand reputation for themselves. They had run campaigns in 2020, trying to portray themselves as thought leaders in digital marketing. Press Releases were published and marketing campaigns were run to boost traffic and increase the reach of the agency website - http://www.deviateagency.com. The trust and goodwill built over five years combined with the increased traffic to the website made it possible for the company to generate over a million dollars in one year. The website now has over 150,000 visitors coming daily and ranks for more than 3,000 keywords related to digital marketing and digital marketing agencies. Matt expects to see over 3 million dollars in revenue this year. It will be interesting to see how he does it. Considering the fast growth of the company, it might be possible to get to 3 million dollars in one year. However, it does need some patience and grit to see such a boost in numbers in such a short period of time.
