    The client

    Growth had a ceiling, and it was personal reputation

    The client is Dr Siti Mariam, an Educational Therapist and founder of Tinkit Education. Tinkit Education supports students and parents in their learning and developmental journey, focusing on behavioural challenges and learning difficulties. At the time of engagement, the business was in its third year of operation.

    Dr Siti Mariam reached out to IceCube because she realised that in order to help more students, she needed to go beyond relying on personal reputation and organic referrals. She needed a way to consistently reach parents at scale and build both her personal brand and company brand.

    As a business owner managing curriculum development, staff, and daily operations, she found it extremely challenging to focus on marketing consistently. Marketing was important, but it competed with many other priorities in running and growing the business.

    What was happening before IceCube

    Why she decided to work with IceCube

    Familiarity, an honest listen, and a budget that made sense

    IceCube’s ads appeared repeatedly on her Facebook feed, which built familiarity and trust.
    Initially, she was hesitant due to cost, as her business was still young and had limited resources.
    Unlike other agencies that proposed high, unaffordable starting budgets, IceCube offered a more affordable entry point, with the ability to scale gradually.
    During the consultation, Aaron listened more than he spoke, allowing her to explain her clients’ pain points and the solutions she provides.
    IceCube proposed a clear, realistic plan aligned with her business capacity and growth goals, which gave her confidence to proceed.

    A system built to manage, nurture, and improve the lead flow, not just generate it

    01

    A CRM built for follow-up

    IceCube's CRM system let her track all leads in one dashboard, categorise leads by interest level, and monitor follow-ups more effectively.

    02

    WhatsApp automation

    Automated WhatsApp follow-up messages kept prospects engaged, and IceCube analysed stagnation points and recommended improvements rather than letting campaigns stall.

    03

    A Growth Strategist, from month 4

    John, a dedicated Growth Strategist, joined in month four with strategic ideas to further optimise and scale the system.

    The business impact

    From one location to a growing team

    Doubled the size of her team
    Rented an additional space to accommodate the growing number of clients
    Experienced strong and positive business growth within a short time frame
    Gained confidence in scaling the business sustainably

    From cautious client to trusted partner

    Initially, Dr Siti Mariam was cautious due to budget concerns and past experiences with other agencies. Over time, her perception shifted significantly because:
    • IceCube demonstrated consistent transparency and responsiveness
    • The team actively listened and adapted strategies based on performance and feedback
    • They took time to understand her clients' pain points and solutions deeply
    • She felt supported, valued, and involved in decision-making
    She now sees IceCube as a trusted business partner, and strongly recommends IceCube to SMEs and growing businesses that need reliable, scalable marketing support.

    More than lead generation

  • IceCube goes beyond lead generation by advising on lead nurturing and conversion, not just acquisition.
  • They proactively suggest ways to retain and follow up with leads that initially show interest but do not convert immediately.
  • The team remains responsive, transparent, and open to discussions whenever performance plateaus.
  • Dr Siti Mariam views IceCube as a long-term partner, not just a service provider, especially as she plans to scale further.
