Bulletpoint Case Study
We helped Dollboxx, an Australian swimwear and activewear brand, known for its vibrant and bold designs, secure the Export Market Development Grant (EMDG). They were looking to expand their international trade through overseas Facebook marketing campaigns, targeting existing markets and new international markets.
Bulletpoint guided Dollboxx through the complex grant application process, ensuring their Facebook marketing efforts aligned with the grant agreement requirements. We helped with the paperwork, ensuring all expenses were accounted for and eligible, which led to a successful claim. This allowed them to offset their marketing costs and focus on growing their brand overseas.
