QuaGrowth acquired by GR0, a SEO and Digital Marketing Agency
I have some special news today. QuaGrowth is officially acquired by GR0, a SEO and Digital Marketing Agency in Los Angeles, California. A 3 1/2 year journey comes to an end while a new one begins.I started QuaGrowth on Jan 1st 2019 after leaving my previous agency, MuteSix, looking for a new challenge. Although I had spent about 5 years working on eCommerce, QuaGrowth originally started out as a B2B Agency. I was gung-ho about attending all the biggest conferences to sell my services and become a world-renowned speaker for all things B2B Marketing. I went to Hubspot’s INBOUND, Drift’s HyperGrowth, and Gong’s Celebrate conferences to name a few. After I returned home from these conferences, I started getting referrals, but not B2B referrals. These were eCommerce referrals from big brands that needed help. I learned a very important lesson that day: Focus on what you know and double down on that! What I knew very well was eCommerce.
QuaGrowth Email Marketing now a GR0 company.
The pandemic hit and everyone was buying and selling online. We pivoted to be The Email Marketing Agency for 7 Figure+ Ecommerce brands. Last year, I met Jon and Kevin of GR0 at a wedding. SEO was a service I was lacking for my own agency so hired them to take QuaGrowth's to the next level.I like to say that Search Engine Optimization & Email Marketing are two of the most boring marketing channels around. However, in a world of increased ad costs and competition, we live in a ecosystem where the basics matter. As Warren Buffet says when it comes to his stock choices, "Boring is Beautiful!". 2 boring companies got together one day and a deal was made. And that's how QuaGrowth was acquired! I know it's a rather boring end to the story but in all seriousness, I'm excited to work with one of the fastest growing companies in Los Angeles. Kevin and Jon have built a rocketship of a company in less than 2 years and I'm looking forward to helping to contribute anyway I can. Thanks to all past and current client's who've contributed to the growth of QuaGrowth. Shout out to all current and former employees who've help build QuaGrowth. Special acknowledgment to all friends and mentors who've helped me navigate the ups and downs of being a business owner.
