For gFour Marketing, delivering a consistent and high-quality client experience is non-negotiable. But when their client base began growing rapidly, they needed more: a full, scalable remote team that could grow with them and reflect their values. With Valatam, they found not only speed and efficiency in hiring but also team members who fully integrated into their culture and operations.

Today, nearly their entire support structure, from onboarding to client success, runs through a remote team built with Valatam talent.

Operational Wins

  • Built a complete remote team from the ground up. Valatam helped gFour assemble a full-functioning team of 9 professionals across onboarding, sales, client success, and activation.
  • Faster client response times
    Valatam’s VAs helped gFour consistently meet its internal two-hour SLA for client requests.
  • Freed up Account Managers for higher-impact work
    By handling administrative tasks, the remote team allowed Account Managers to focus more on client relationships.
  • Improved quality assurance and process execution
    Backend support reinforced consistency and peace of mind across the team.
  • Rapid hiring turnaround
    Valatam enabled gFour to go from request to onboarding in under a week, even for urgent roles.
  • Scalable structure with senior-level VAs
    gFour expanded from core support roles into more senior-level assistants to match their growth.

 

Navigating the Challenges

Unlike many agencies that struggle with competition, gFour was growing fast. But that growth created pressure: more clients, more data, more requests. Responding within their two-hour service window was critical, yet in-house Account Managers were increasingly pulled into backend work. At the same time, the team worried that remote hires might not align with gFour’s values or company culture. They needed fast, reliable support, without sacrificing the human touch that set them apart.

“From the moment we submit a role to the moment someone starts; it’s usually under a week. That kind of turnaround is incredible”

Yani Roque, COO at gFour Marketing

The Path Forward

  • Prioritized speed-to-hire for high-demand support roles
  • Integrated VAs into backend operations and client communications
  • Ensured alignment with gFour’s values and service commitment
  • Structured support that allowed in-house staff to focus on relationships
  • Recruited a growing mix of remote roles: Activation Specialists, Onboarding Specialists, Sales Assistants, and Client Success Coordinators

 

How We Did It

Valatam provided a system gFour could rely on. Every time they submitted a new role, candidates were delivered within 2–3 days. Final hires were often in place and trained within one week. This allowed gFour to stay ahead of the growth curve without burnout.

More importantly, the virtual assistants didn’t feel like outsiders.

“They show up on time, never complain, and fully embody our culture and values.”

Yani Roque, COO at gFour Marketing

Internally, they were seen as part of the team, not an extension of it.

“Everybody considers the Valatam team as part of our core team. They care, they want to do a good job, and they’re always aligned with our values.”

Yani Roque, COO at gFour Marketing

What We Achieved Together

  • Met rapid growth needs without breaking service standards
  • Achieved a consistent 2-hour response time for all client requests
  • Freed up Account Managers for higher-value relationship work
  • Established a predictable, scalable hiring model with Valatam

Yani Roque, COO at gFour Marketing
