      Performance Marketing Review from Kanhaiya Maheshwary

      I've had the pleasure of having HawkSEM manage our SEM and SEO since January 2025. Before that, I worked with three different SEM agencies over the previous two years, so I'm especially glad to have finally found a reliable partner. HawkSEM understands B2B tech and what it takes to scale growth for a PLG company. They're also constantly challenging themselves to improve and deliver better results. While most agencies focus on lead volume, Hawk is one of the few I've worked with that consistently wanted to be held accountable to deeper qualification metrics, such as MQLs and SQLs. Ian has been a fantastic consultant, bringing a wealth of deep marketing expertise to the partnership. Cristin, Alex, and Yvonne have also done an excellent job managing the day-to-day SEM and SEO work. Overall, HawkSEM has been a great partner, and I highly recommend them to any B2B tech company looking for an agency that truly understands growth.

We've already began to see great results with thema nd love working theit team. They've extremely proactive and open to strategizing new tactics. Highly recommend!

    • Marcelo Romanelli
      Marcelo Romanelli Marketing Manager at Backbase
      5.0 ★

      SEM Review from Marcelo Romanelli

      If you're looking for experts who can transform your paid search strategy, HawkSEM is the agency to partner with. Ian and Dave's strategic approach, constant communication, and willingness to adapt strategies based on performance data made our collaboration seamless and effective. Their dedication to optimizing our campaigns was evident throughout the process. We felt like they were an integral part of our team rather than an external agency.

      We have been clients since we launched and the Red Mallard team has added value to our brand every step of the way. Every time I had out one of the pieces they designed for us I receive immediate comments regarding the quality of our materials. More importantly, they care--even though we were not a large client they have treated us as if we were.
