“stiletto collective came to Rita’s Italian Ice highly recommended. As we completed our due diligence for a digital marketing partner, we found Ly Tran and her team well-versed in current digital marketing best practices and consumer acquisition tactics. Ly quickly grasped the challenges and opportunities within Rita’s and recommended a digital strategy that was ideal for us. The digital marketing expertise within the Rita’s franchisee community varies from savvy to nonexistent, and Ly communicated appropriately to all these stakeholders so that they could understand and learn from the information presented. Rita’s Italian ice has seen solid results from stiletto’s hyper-local geotargeted strategy. Ly is also accessible for questions or strategy changes at a moment’s notice; we never felt like we were flying blind. We have also been impressed with stiletto’s reporting capabilities. Ly and her team compiled meaningful post-campaign metrics that we were able to analyze and improve upon. Overall, stiletto collective has been a strong media partner that has helped the brand efficiently use its media budget to meet aggressive customer acquisition and sales goals.”

“I’d like to recommend Ly and stiletto collective as a fantastic digital media agency partner. We started our partnership with Ly last year (2022), and she helped build and develop our first ever paid media branding and acquisition program. She has been instrumental in helping develop our strategy, refine our target audience and implement a test and learn approach that has allowed us to maximize ROI and gain valuable knowledge and insights about our target audience and their needs/wants. In addition, her expertise and reputation in the media space and with media publications is a huge asset. Given this was a new program for us, we had a lot to learn, and Ly was a great partner in helping us understand best practices and how best to optimize our spend. I fully endorse her and her team!”

“I met Ly Tran last year on a FaceTime chat with old advertising friends in Texas and was immediately drawn to her. She's just fun and interesting and smart. She owns 350 pairs of shoes and signs her emails, "Hugsy," which cracks me up! She's kind of a big deal in the advertising world and when I heard she was starting her own marketing firm, I wondered if she could help me expedite the time it takes for people to discover my films. Turns out, she can and she did! She has tripled my streaming royalties. She is a joy to collaborate with and as bro marketers say, she can 3X your profits.”
