“Before spending our hard-earned money on ads, Quiet Owl took time to really understand our business. They helped develop the right tracking and measurement so we could understand the performance of our ad budget. This methodology resulted in a tight feedback loop, where changes were tested continuously. It has contributed massively to our year-over-year recurring revenue growth.”
