Case Study: Giving Tree Media achieves $250,000 in annual revenue with Vendasta

Digital Agency Goes From Start-up to $250,000 in Annual Revenue

Giving Tree Media is a New Orleans–based digital agency founded in 2015 by Matt Ainsworth that specializes in websites and SEO for local businesses. Early on Matt struggled to prove marketing gaps to prospects, undercharged for work, and generated inconsistent revenue—forcing him to rely on side jobs to make ends meet.

In March 2020 Matt partnered with Vendasta, who built his website, provided the Snapshot Report for data-driven pitches, and connected him to Marketplace services and BDR coaching across a four-phase roadmap (groundwork, expansion, growth, optimize). The result: faster client wins, automation of onboarding and billing, a doubled client book (~10 to ~20), retention around 70%, and revenue growth from $100K in 2020 to an estimated $250K in 2021 (with monthly revenue reaching $20K+).
