About spotLESS Materials

spotLESS Materials specializes in solving "sticky problems" with their innovative anti-fouling coating technology, which keeps surfaces like glass and ceramic clean. Founded in 2018, spotLESS’ ultra-repellent coatings have saved households hours and effort in cleaning. It’s also helped commercial partners tackle costly challenges like fouling, icing, self-cleaning across industries, including medical consumables, diagnostic devices, automotive components and more.

The Challenge

During the early days of marketing their unique product, spotLESS Materials had worked with separate agencies for different ad platforms like Google, Facebook and Instagram. However, this had led to fragmented strategies and slow results, on top of hefty price tags.

As an agency experienced in helping startups build brands from ground up, Kaya took the effort to truly understand spotLESS’ business and its consumers. We then worked together to develop a cohesive and non-traditional marketing strategy to drive profitability.

Marketing an innovative product to consumers is no easy feat. Kaya has been great in strategizing new approaches and leveraging a multichannel strategy to increase overall revenue.
