Since 2012, the S2W Media operations teams have worked tirelessly to scale and evolve the capabilities of our B2B lead generation solutions. Our operations teams are composed of innovative professionals led by sharp-minded managers and leaders. Their relentlessly forward-thinking and agile approach to our client's success is a testament to the culture and vision of the company. It has been key to our 10-year journey of consistent growth.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of S2W Media, we interviewed Daulat Ram, Senior Operations Director of India, and Nitu Shukla, Director of Sales Operations, two of the many key team members who have driven our company’s operational success. They highlighted the challenges and accomplishments our teams faced while fulfilling bespoke client campaigns over the last ten years, shedding light on the mix of People, Technology, and Innovation it takes to successfully provide full-funnel B2B lead generation solutions with zero outsourcing.
S2W Media can be defined as a team of innovators, problem solvers, and thought leaders. During our interviews with Daulat and Nitu, they highlighted that the operations workplace culture at S2W Media is the best in the industry. Leaders believe in fostering technical and professional skills in every employee and providing the training necessary for individual employee growth. They both expressed that this approach has led to the creation of a team that cares about delivering quality solutions for our clients, trusts each other, and values individual and collective insights to get the job done. Daulat Ram stated,
“Everyone within the operations team shares a common bond; we work smarter and harder to ensure the success of our client campaigns. This has built a culture of trust and professional growth across the team members resulting in everyone contributing 100% in their role and offering solutions for fulfillment optimization opportunities.” He added, “The company gives ample opportunities to its employees for professional development and provides a supportive work environment so everyone can achieve success.”
As a result, every employee consistently contributes to the organization's goal. The teams never limit themselves but go above and beyond to deliver the highest quality experience for our clients.
Nitu Shukla agreed and emphasized that S2WMedia consistently progressed due to the senior leadership's openness to dialogue and suggestions. She asserted that “Open communication builds an excellent working atmosphere and a strong connection. The environment of S2W Media allows our operations team to be agile when they work on various campaigns, which helps them approach and solve challenges efficiently.”
“S2W Media's strength is its people, and the company trusts in them,”
She added that because we value client success and providing a quality product, “we pour much energy into ongoing training on the latest technologies in the industry, which maintains our knowledgeable workforce and allows us to be genuinely innovative and agile in our fulfillment of client lead generation strategies."
Unlike many lead generation providers in the industry, S2W Media does not adhere to rigid tactics for our client campaign strategies. Our model focuses on maintaining a nimble approach so we can pivot quickly based on our client’s needs. The business decision to own 100% of campaign fulfillment internally has resulted in the developing of a scalable and agile operations team that encourages innovative and creative problem-solving. To maintain these attributes, we needed to build a technology backbone that would efficiently scale with us to stay competitive.
As S2W Media has expanded into all global markets, the demands on the operational teams have ranged from needing to support large-scale lead campaign strategies in the tens of thousands per client to building teams that can provide the finesse required to fulfill appointment-setting campaigns focused on niche targets successfully.
Nitu Shukla oversees the campaign implementation teams that provide everything from the creation of API integrations to email and landing page design and development. She stated,
“Our number one goal is to fulfill client campaign requirements perfectly. Because of our ongoing team training on emerging technologies, we can adjust our approaches quickly to meet client needs.”
She added, “Where, historically, it may have taken several days to a week to integrate with a client’s CRM or design and develop custom landing pages or email nurtures, it now only takes a day or two. We can meet our clients' varied needs faster than ever before because we have structured our teams and technologies to be efficient without sacrificing quality.”
To meet the growing demand of our global clients, Daulat explained, “We have learned over the last ten years exactly how we need to build our teams and how best to structure, scale, and schedule their campaign coverage.” He continued,
“The team structures required the massive undertaking of vetting and selecting the technologies necessary to complete the work expertly. This selection and in-house development and implementation process is part of our ongoing technological growth. We never stop looking for ways to optimize the team and the quality of our solutions.”
Throughout the interviews, Nitu and Daulat shared that their teams' excitement for the next ten years of growth is palpable. Nitu stated,
“We have come a long way from the original 4 team members. Our culture of professional development and innovation to bring value to our clients has resulted in amazing organizational growth and solution expansion. Everyone on the team is dedicated to our client’s success.”
Daulat echoed her sentiments, “Everyone feels the excitement in the air! We have worked hard and smart, and reaching this 10-year milestone is proof that we are doing something right. The whole team feels proud of this collective accomplishment, and we are excited to see what we can do over the next ten years.”
Nitu added,
“One of the greatest things we have gleaned from our amazing 10-year journey is that we must never stop learning. Something new can always be utilized to help our clients meet their needs; we must always stay innovative and agile. This is part of what has made us successful and why we are excited to strive for more.”
