Case Studies


PROBLEM

Well-funded Local Search company looking to expand into 40 cities nationwide in the first half of 2010. Their market segment, the group deals space, is the hottest new segment of ecommerce and they need a full sales team in place ASAP. With a recently completed $25 million Series B round, the business plan calls for 60 new staff members in six months. That's more than their strong internal recruiting team can handle.

Solution

Enter AC Lion. And, with us as their primary recruiting partner, they hit their target and got their sales team in place. AC Lion alone filled 40 sales roles in 20 cities in 6 months. Their senior leadership, HR and VCs are thrilled with our work and hired us to help them build out the other facets of their sales and development team. From Account Execs, to Regional Managers, to Directors, we have now placed over 60 of their staff members. And they're back for more.

Problem

A recently funded sports social media network needed an Interactive Marketing leader to help them hit it out of the park. They were having trouble finding the right individual to drive traffic by marketing to their tailored, targeted audience. Re-launch plans were on hold without that special team's player to lead an 11 person team.

Solution

Enter AC Lion. Within 4 days, AC Lion found a Harvard Business school graduate with a proven track record of success in emerging media/web 2.0 marketing. The candidate had already launched two Top 5 profitable social media sites. Within the first six months, he exceeded expectations by delivering over 500,000 new subscribers, through partnering with major publishers, penetrating Facebook and other social networks, widgets and viral affiliate and guerilla marketing.
