Your ad account will be personally audited by The Apricot Agency's founder and principal strategist, Duane Sahadat.
Duane is a seasoned marketer with two decades of experience across diverse industries including motion picture, IT/CE, distribution, tier 1 retail, and data/automotive. His impressive client list includes brands such as Kodak, Hp, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, Staples, Walmart, and Costco.
Duane's journey began with an honors diploma in Multimedia and Interactive Design, complemented by certifications in electronic UI/UX design, business management, globalization & commercialization, and programming/implementing artificial intelligence. His educational pursuits led him to institutions like RMIT University in Australia, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), IBM, and online platforms where he also acquired several Marketing certifications.
Notable for his achievements, Duane was honored with the Global Marketing Top Performer 2020 award at Fleet Complete for his exceptional performance in growing qualified lead volume, conversion volume, and driving revenue in a declining market during COVID-19.
In 2023, he also won a Platinum Level Marcom Award for Best SEM Campaign, boosting Qualified Sales Leads by 935% in just 3 Months.
Outside of work, Duane enjoys spending time with his family and engaging in DIY projects.
Fun Fact: While he technically has played guitar for over 30 years, he hasn’t really touched one in the past 20 years. He claims he was a better player in high school than he is now, so he's decided to start building guitars instead.
No catch, really. We are currently starting to onboard a very small amount of clients for 2024 and use this tool to understand different markets, understand the needs of clients, and prove that we can make a difference to your business - and hopefully earn your business.
Simple: we're small. We are a boutique agency that does not take on dozens of clients at once. We try to keep our client list in single-digits so that we can concentrate on a small amount of clients and their success rather than spreading ourselves too thin.
We have put together a score sheet of approximately 45 elements in 10 categories. We will analyze each area and give each a score and grade. We will also add comments on observations and share immediate opportunities, positives and negatives (usually around 3 of each).
After you fill out a form, usually within 1 business day. This may seem slow but, again, we do not have a call centre of sales agents standing by. We do business interpersonally and 1-on-1.
Duane, our founder, spends 2 - 4 hours on each report. Depending on the amount of requests, expect 2 - 3 business days before you receive your report.
Heck no! We are people too... and nobody likes to see an inbox full of fake salesy stuff. We will hang onto your email address and likely follow up and, in the future, occasionally make you aware of promos or share information that we feel is insightful and valuable but that's about it. You can unsubscribe anytime. We don't use purchased mailing lists and do NOT share your information. Have a look at our Privacy Policy and Terms!
We have done our research and looked for companies that we think that we will work well with. It could be expertise in your industry, the observed need for a PPC/Digital agency... we do not import hundreds of random companies and send out emails. EVERY prospect is researched and contacted based on fit.
We are in a quiet suburb of the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area.
Go Leafs, go!
