Good products. Crowded markets. Here is how they got chosen.

Four clients we can name, with the numbers behind the work. Each one started with the same problem: buyers already had a supplier they knew, and no reason to switch. Meet the people behind the work.

What changed for them

Case study · Manufacturer · B2B and B2C

Energo System

Founded 1995Towel radiators and designer heatingNovi Sad, SerbiaExporterB2B and B2C

01 · The challenge

Energo System’s radiators cost more than Chinese imports, in a category where buyers see radiators as interchangeable. A higher price is hard to defend abroad, where nobody knows your name yet.

02 · The insight

Buyers abroad were not looking for a cheaper radiator. They needed a reason to trust a more expensive one.

03 · What we did

  • Positioning around domestic quality, galvanisation and CE standards
  • A clearer split between technical and premium product lines
  • Website, content, search and social media built around how buyers choose a radiator
  • Materials for distributors and trade partners, B2B first, then B2C

B2B and B2C · Both sides of the market

B2B

Market entry, partners and dealers

  • Entry into 6 new markets: Slovenia, Croatia, the Netherlands, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia
  • A network of distributors, dealers and trade partners, built market by market
  • Sales materials that let partners sell a premium price: Serbian-made quality, galvanisation, CE standards
B2C

A new category, built from zero

  • Brought a niche category to the market from zero: designer radiators and towel heaters
  • Social media and paid advertising aimed at people renovating their homes
  • SEO that grew visibility in Google search by 93% in a year, with clicks up 46%

Our radiators cost more than Chinese imports, and on price alone we looked like the wrong choice. Igor gave buyers abroad a reason to pay more: quality made in Serbia, with galvanisation and CE standards to prove it. He also gave our distributors in Slovenia, Croatia and the Netherlands the materials they needed to sell it. Between 2018 and 2025 our sales grew by 300%.

Case study · Growth from zero

Fantasy Warden

Independent publisherFantasy, gaming and TV reviewsBuilt from zeroFunded by advertising

01 · The challenge

An independent fantasy entertainment site starting from zero: no audience, no brand, and established entertainment media competing for the same fans.

02 · The insight

Fans trust other fans more than they trust publishers. They were already talking on Reddit and already searching for help with the games they play. The site had to be genuinely useful in both places.

03 · What we did

  • An audience and topic strategy: strategy guides, builds, tier lists and reviews for the games fans actually play
  • Community seeding on Reddit, one of the most successful campaigns
  • Strong search foundations: topical authority and technical fixes
  • Paid tests on Google and social, measured in Google Analytics, Semrush and Ahrefs

B2C and B2B · Audience first, then partners

B2C

Traffic, ads and monetisation

  • An audience built from zero with guides, builds, tier lists and reviews
  • Reddit and community seeding where fans already talk
  • Monetised through advertising on a growing, loyal readership
B2B

Selling the audience to other platforms

  • Traffic and placements sold to other platforms and websites in gaming and entertainment
  • Partner deals that turned readers into a B2B revenue line
  • Audience data from Google Analytics, Semrush and Ahrefs used in every partner conversation

What I am most grateful for is the Reddit idea. Igor understood that fans trust other fans, so instead of shouting about the site, we joined the conversations where players already were. Together with a content plan built around what they search for, it took us from a few hundred visits a month to more than 60,000.

Case study · Growth and rebuild

Škola Rajak

Online math schoolTeaching since 2002One-to-one lessonsSerbia

01 · The challenge

Parents decide quickly, often on a phone, and need to trust a school they cannot visit. The old site took four to six seconds to show its main content on a phone.

02 · The insight

Children do not choose a math school. Parents do, and what parents want is not only better grades but some time for themselves.

03 · What we did

  • A new brand and a rebuilt, redesigned website
  • SEO
  • An influencer campaign: more free time for parents, while their children learn with the school
  • The technical rebuild, led by our CTO Sebastian Novak

B2C · Two audiences, one decision

Parents

The people who choose and pay

  • Message: better grades for the child, and some free time for the parent
  • Channels parents use: social media, Google search and influencer campaigns
  • Online lessons across Serbia and the same-language region, plus offline lessons
Children

The people who have to want it

  • Message: lessons that feel like their world, not more school
  • TikTok and short video for the age group that lives there
  • Courses in math, physics and programming

B2B · Partnerships with schools

  • Partnerships with 50 primary and secondary schools
  • The school goes into classrooms and helps students where they already learn
  • Each partner school opens a direct, trusted channel to parents

Online and offline

  • Online lessons across Serbia and the same-language region
  • Offline lessons and work inside partner schools
  • One brand for both, so trust built in a school carries online

Igor saw what we had missed for years: children don’t choose a math school, parents do. The campaign that promised parents a bit of free time while their children learn with us brought a wave of new enrolments. And the new website, which he and Sebastian launched in six days, didn’t lose a single page of our old one.

Flower Couture by Studio Jana

Floral design studioNovi Sad, SerbiaWeddings, private and brand eventsSince 2017Featured in Vogue Adria

01 · The challenge

Clients choose a florist on trust and taste, and they want to see the work before they call.

02 · The insight

The work sells itself once people can see it. The job was to put it in front of the right people, one channel at a time.

03 · What we did

  • The website first
  • Then social media and influencer campaigns
  • Offline marketing and events
