Plus1 needed to scale personalized lending communications in a highly competitive market where acquisition costs were rising, regulations were tightening, and customers expected transparent, timely engagement.

Plus1’s marketing operations faced critical bottlenecks:

• Limited customer data depth = missed automation opportunities. A previous platform couldn’t handle lending-specific attributes like loan status, due dates, or repayment behavior. This meant critical lifecycle journeys — upsells, top-ups, pre-collection reminders — were either impossible to automate or required constant manual intervention. 
• Fragmented data quality = wasted effort and errors. Manual data preparation, sync issues, and incomplete customer records led to segmentation inaccuracies and duplicate work. The marketing team spent hours cleaning data instead of building campaigns. 
• Basic automation = high CAC and poor retention. Without event-triggered journeys or real-time customer insights, Plus1 couldn’t deliver timely, relevant messages. This drove up customer acquisition costs and left retention opportunities on the table. 
• Engineering dependency = slow execution. Every campaign adjustment or new journey required technical resources, creating bottlenecks that prevented the team from responding quickly to market changes.
  

For Plus1, being able to communicate with precision — at the right moment in the customer’s financial journey — wasn’t just a nice-to-have. It was essential for profitability, compliance, and customer trust.

Fairphone has successfully impacted every stage of electronics production — from initial design and manufacturing to the complete product lifecycle — creating a business model that prioritizes ethics and sustainability above all else.

As Fairphone continued to expand its reach and impact, the company sought to enhance several aspects of their marketing and data management capabilities to support their growth potential:

Streamlining data architecture: Fairphone wanted to establish a more unified approach to customer data management, creating a single source of truth that would provide a more comprehensive view of their customers’ journeys and behaviors. This would enable them to develop more cohesive marketing strategies.

Enhanced customer tracking capabilities: The company aimed to improve their ability to track customer activities and visitor behaviors across their digital touchpoints. Better tracking would help them understand customer preferences more deeply, optimize user experiences, and identify new opportunities for engagement and conversion.

Scaling marketing operations: With ambitious goals to increase revenue and customer lifetime value, Fairphone needed to enhance its marketing capabilities beyond their current technology stack. The company sought more sophisticated tools to support an intelligent, data-driven marketing approach for their next phase of growth.

Fairphone needed to differentiate itself in a crowded market while staying true to its sustainability mission, requiring more targeted and personalized communication strategies.

There’s nothing more frustrating as a marketer than knowing exactly what you want to do but not having the technology or support in place to make that idea a reality. The gap between vision and execution can be daunting and can lead to missed opportunities, stagnant growth, and unnecessary stress. Voyo Croatia found itself facing several of these very issues. 

Despite having a clear marketing strategy, the company was continuously hampered by persistent issues with its existing marketing technology. After having problems with glitches, platform constraints, and a lack of customer support, Voyo Croatia knew it needed to move past its marketing limitations and begin working with a partner that would allow it to offer limitless marketing to its loyal customers.
