Lost Media Group’s Recipe for Success
The digital marketing agency believes in having only one recipe to achieve success. It believes that “Businesses are built on relationships.“
According to Lost Media Group, the moment you start thinking of your customers as “numbers on an excel sheet” or an “email list” you’ve lost touch with them. For them, it is important to streamline client onboarding and build a strong relationship with them.
Their reason for believing in good business relationships is that they enable you to be open and honest about the issues impacting a business’ growth. They believe that only then can the real work start and the foundation for sustainable growth be built.
Lost Media Group doesn’t accept every opportunity for work that comes their way. Instead, they seek clients that want to build a long-term relationship and are focused on answering the difficult questions about how to sustain and grow a business and get more clients.

How Cloudways Has Contributed to Life Media Group’s Success
When we asked Lost Media Group how we helped in contributing to their wins, they had only good words to say about our hosting services.
“Finding fast, affordable hosting that comes with the latest technology AND doesn’t require you to be a server admin to get great performance can be tough for small ecommerce businesses. Most end up on shared hosting with poor performance or try to host themselves creating all sorts of security and maintenance headaches that detract from their core focus of running a business. Since moving both our own websites and our client’s websites to Cloudways we’ve been able to check all the boxes.”
