BUILDING BETTER BRANDS THAT BUILD BETTER SPACES

K&A has been a true partner to HydroBlok – they quickly helped us build the foundation to establish our presence in the market, begin generating demand, and better align with our sales partners. Their team has exceeded our expectations in both strategic thinking and execution.

As a CEO, you can have a strong product, a capable team and real market opportunity – and still need alignment for growth to translate. K&A helped us bring greater clarity to our message, our sales conversations and the way the market understands our value. That alignment has been an important part of building momentum for HydroBlok.

K&A also created engaging content for the entire website, making our voice more conversational and relatable for website visitors…

…While vested with a primary responsibility for public relations and media planning, K&A’s SharkBite PR program delivered much more than the promised earned media impressions. We were so pleased with the results, we extended K&A’s scope of work to include all RWC brands, including our StreamLabs smart home water monitoring solution.

For example, when our website traffic began to unexpectedly decline, the team helped us determine what factors were at play – and then quickly addressed them. As a result, our website traffic began tracking at previous levels…
