A digital marketing partner who optimised for business outcomes, not vanity metrics

Aoife Brennan / VP of Product Engineering - Emerald Digital Ltd
Verified
Jan 12, 2026

Project summary: The project had a board-facing delivery date tied to a strategic initiative. We needed a partner who would treat that date as their own, not ours.

What made the most difference in practice was the quality of the engineering judgment on this team. Not the ability to execute a specification — that is a baseline expectation. The ability to recognise when a specification was suboptimal, explain why, propose an alternative, and support the client in making a decision about it. That consultative dimension elevated the output beyond what the brief described and resulted in a product that is more fit for purpose than the one we had originally specified.

PROS

Commercially transparent throughout — no hidden assumptions, no bill shock at the end, change requests that were fair and clearly explained rather than used as a margin-recovery mechanism

CONS

Time zone coordination required some deliberate overlap management from both sides in the first couple of sprints, after which we had an efficient async rhythm that worked for the whole project

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Emerald Digital Ltd is an established Mining & Metals organisation headquartered in Dublin, UK. My role as VP of Product Engineering covers both strategic planning and operational technology delivery. We maintain high standards for our vendors because our clients hold us to high standards — a bar we expect our partners to meet.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Our platform had been maintained by a previous vendor for three years and the accumulated technical debt had reached a point where delivery velocity had dropped to a fraction of what it should have been. We needed fresh engineering expertise and a structured plan to address the underlying issues.
What services did the company provide for your project?
The scope covered the full Digital Marketing lifecycle: discovery and requirements definition, solution architecture, iterative development across twelve sprints, integration testing, performance validation, production deployment, and a structured four-week hypercare period. They also provided system documentation and a knowledge transfer programme for our internal team.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
A trusted peer in the Mining & Metals sector had used them for a comparable Digital Marketing engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, Digital Marketing depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Comprehensively. The discovery phase they ran was more thorough than anything we had experienced with previous vendors. They challenged requirements that were vague or contradictory, proposed alternatives where our initial thinking was limiting, and produced a functional specification that our internal stakeholders agreed was the clearest articulation of the product they had seen written down.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Communication was proactive, timely, and appropriately calibrated. Technical updates for the engineering audience, executive summaries for the steering group, risk flags with proposed mitigations rather than just problem statements. The fortnightly sprint reviews gave our stakeholders visibility without requiring them to attend every working session.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes. I had privately built a contingency expectation into my planning given the project complexity and the number of integrations involved. None of that contingency was needed. The delivery landed on the agreed date and the final invoice matched the approved budget to within a fraction of a percent. That outcome is rarer than the industry acknowledges.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Quantifying the impact precisely is complicated by other variables in our business, but the metrics we can attribute directly to the Digital Marketing work are meaningful: session duration up, conversion rate up, error rate down, and our NPS for the digital touchpoint has improved by eleven points. Our account managers report that the new capability is coming up positively in client conversations.
What did you like most about working with this company?
Their instinct for keeping the business objective visible throughout technical decision-making. I have worked with technically excellent teams who lose the strategic thread as complexity increases. This team maintained a clear connection between every architectural choice and the outcome we had agreed to achieve. That orientation made the trade-off conversations significantly easier.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Absolutely. With a specific note that the value starts in the discovery phase — clients who approach that process with seriousness will get the most from the engagement. We invested appropriately at the front end and the returns are evident in what was delivered.

FAQs

Can Akvelon take on an old, outdated system rather than starting from scratch?
Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Akvelon — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, it has served clients in USA, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.
Does Akvelon actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, Akvelon included, now build real AI and machine learning features — chatbots, predictive models, computer vision, and automation that goes beyond simple rule-based scripts. For context, it has served clients in USA, and it reports a team size of 500 - 999 professionals.
What should I expect to pay to work with Akvelon?
What Akvelon charges comes down to a handful of variables — how complex the project is, the number of development hours involved, the tech stack required, team size, and which engagement model you pick. Based on available data, Akvelon's typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49, with an average project cost of $10000+.
What's the easiest way to actually get in touch with Akvelon?
Most businesses reach Akvelon through its website, a direct email, or a contact form — any of which works for discussing what you need, booking an initial conversation, or asking for a rough estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Education, Construction, Mining & Metals, Manufacturing, Gaming & Gambling and Logistics & Supply Chain, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.
Can I just hire developers from Akvelon to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Akvelon, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, its listed capabilities span Big Data, Cloud Computing Software, Enterprise App Development, Internet of Things and Mobile App Development, and it has been operating since 2007.
Does Akvelon only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
Akvelon isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including USA, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of Akvelon instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Akvelon a clear, specific brief up front — through their website form, a direct email, or a call — since a vague ask tends to get a vague answer back, while a concrete one usually gets a proper estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Education, Construction, Mining & Metals, Manufacturing, Gaming & Gambling and Logistics & Supply Chain, and it has served clients in USA.
Is Akvelon more of an offshore setup or a local team?
That depends on where Akvelon is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, its listed capabilities span Big Data, Cloud Computing Software, Enterprise App Development, Internet of Things and Mobile App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.
What's actually in Akvelon's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but Akvelon commonly works across things like React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, PHP, Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. For context, it has experience across industries such as Education, Construction, Mining & Metals, Manufacturing, Gaming & Gambling and Logistics & Supply Chain, and it has served clients in USA.
