iWay AG | Case Study.
Increase in sales through the digitization of marketing processes
How a digital transformation of marketing helped iWay AG increase sales and how a sustainable implementation strategy helps to ensure long-term success and digital growth.
Initial Situation.
In September 2018, iWay AG approached us with the following questions and commissioned the GANDT Telco team to develop an implementation strategy for a sustainable investment in growth through digital distribution channels.
- How to generate growth in a saturated consumer market?
- How do you open up and scale new digital growth channels?
- How do you increase the cross and upselling potentials of new customers?
- How do you achieve lower termination rates for existing customers?
Project Plan.

01Phase 1: Digital Strategy Consulting
At the beginning of the project, workshops and interviews with the management and shareholders, questions about digitalization and successful scaling were answered.
These included deriving the personal expectations of a digital strategy of individual members of the Executive Board and the various business areas, addressing any skepticism that may exist, and evaluating cross-functional opportunities.
Using these insights from the interviews, we were able to create a mapping of success factors (Customer Success Factors) and an action plan for the coming months to drive digital growth, taking into account internal resources.
GANDT Ventures has helped us grow in a saturated market through digital channels. The team around Jacek Kozera convinces with cross-functional expertise and a focus on entrepreneurial scaling. We use this expertise not only in marketing, but also for coaching the management.
