Problems

As business for Academy is a cyclical process, the company needed an abundant amount of resources for about half of the year.
Academy’s marketing team had ambitious projects to accomplish, but their tech team was rarely available for those projects.

Solutions

Zibtek was able to solve the issues caused by Academy’s lack of resources and technical skills by providing a team that could easily and efficiently scale up or down according to the needs of the company.
The company’s marketing team needed assistance in completing the engineering backlog. While Academy’s engineering team was occupied with other projects, Zibtek was able to provide an effective scrum team with devs, product owners, and QA who had experience working together in the past.

Result

Academy continues to lead the industry in technology advancements and market growth.
Through greater exposure, microsites, and SEO, the loan officers were able to achieve 30% more leads.
Loan officers now have greater marketing tools to utilize as well as supplying thousands of employees with these tools to stay on brand.
