About The Calendar Group

The Calendar Group is a staffing agency operating in the B2B Staffing Agencies sector, prominently serving New York City and Connecticut. Established in 2002, The Calendar Group has built a strong reputation and has been featured in publications including the New York Times, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and Business Week. The firm distinctly differentiates itself through the personal attention and bespoke service they provide to their distinguished, high net worth clientele. They specialize in connecting qualified talent with exclusive opportunities, maintaining a standard of excellence that sets them apart in the staffing industry.

Challenge

The Calendar Group came to SmartSites by referral after experiencing dissatisfaction with their previous agency's Google Ads management and seeking a strategic change. Operating in the competitive B2B Staffing Agencies market, they required a sophisticated, two pronged marketing approach. First, they needed to precisely target high net worth individuals actively looking for premium staffing solutions. Secondly, they had to simultaneously build a robust pool of highly qualified applicants to fill those exclusive positions. Their primary objective was to significantly increase high quality lead generation on both fronts. SmartSites crafted a comprehensive, dual focused plan to tackle each of these complex challenges head on and drive measurable success.
