Idea Behind Company

Renjith Rajan's journey into digital marketing began with a background in technology and a passion for the field. After working as a programmer and Linux admin, Renjith founded Boonze Media Solutions, focusing on outsourced digital marketing. The success of Boonze Media Solutions, which managed numerous Google Ads campaigns, provided the foundation for O3M. The idea for O3M emerged from a strategic pivot towards direct clients in India, coinciding with the launch of Google's Premier Partner Program in India. This alignment allowed O3M to leverage its process-oriented experience to offer unique, customized solutions for clients.

Creating the Company

Building the first version of O3M’s offerings involved educating clients about the differences between digital marketing and traditional advertising. The Indian market was still developing, with limited smartphone adoption and high data costs. Rajan focused on Search advertising initially, then expanded into SEO, display, and video ads, and eventually social media advertising as the market evolved. Automation played a crucial role in scaling operations, allowing the team to concentrate on strategy and expertise.

Rajan’s approach to creating O3M’s services was systematic and market-driven. The company’s growth was fueled by a mix of direct sales, content marketing, and educational events to explain digital marketing’s value. By leveraging core skills and market needs, O3M positioned itself as a leader in the nascent digital marketing industry in India. The company’s ability to adapt and expand its offerings as the market matured was key to its success.

Launching the Business

O3M’s launch was facilitated by Renjith Rajan’s existing business, Boonze Media Solutions. The transition involved pivoting from outsourced services to direct client engagement in the Indian market. Initial client acquisition was achieved through traditional sales methods, including telesales, meetings, and pitches. Over time, inbound leads generated through O3M’s digital marketing efforts became a significant source of new business.

The company faced challenges in balancing client volume and quality. Initially, O3M took on clients with varying budgets and needs, leading to high churn rates. Rajan then shifted focus to high-value clients, which reduced churn but limited the client pool. The current strategy strikes a balance between quantity and quality, emphasizing transparency and value in client relationships. Partnerships and pricing strategies have also been critical to O3M’s sustained growth and client retention.

Since its launch, O3M has leveraged digital marketing strategies to attract and retain customers. The company maintains a strong presence across search engines, social media, and events to showcase expertise and generate leads. Traditional sales and referrals continue to be effective, complemented by thoughtful content and outreach campaigns. Rajan advises new entrepreneurs to integrate SEO naturally into their marketing efforts and balance direct and marketplace sales.

O3M’s future looks promising, with a growing client base and an expanding team. The company has expanded from one office to three and employs a mix of on-site and remote staff. To address common agency challenges, O3M focuses on reducing client churn, enhancing profitability through automation, and upskilling employees. By maintaining transparency and delivering results, O3M has built long-term client relationships that contribute to its financial success and stability.
