It has truly been a pleasure collaborating with Sellozo and its dedicated team. Under the guidance of Thilan in the managed service, we've taken our Amazon business to new levels ... profitably. We have regular weekly meetings and are working great as a team.Thanks to Thilan and the Sellozo team's expertise, our sales have grown significantly while slashing unnecessary advertising spend. Our Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS) has doubled, while our Advertising Cost of Sales (ACOS) has plummeted by nearly 50%. Thilan has really learned our products and our business and he has learned how to use Sellozo to work best for us.I endorse not only the software itself but also the managed service. Having a seasoned professional like Thilan onboard adds an extra dimension of effectiveness to the program, like adding rocket fuel to our Amazon business.

Sellozo has been our missing link! We had solid, mature, products with great product photos, etc. In the past, we've done everything in-house, including PPC. It has been one of our best decisions to onboard Sellozo with a managed account to help handle the Amazon PPC arm of our business. Not only has our ACOS lowered to a more manageable level, but our sales have exploded. Amazon PPC is complex, and having a managed software solution with Sellozo has been a godsend for our business!

Transitioning our account to Sellozo, a machine learning-driven software, marked a significant milestone in our Amazon strategy. Despite a slow start during the initial 2-3 months of adaptation, the software's sophisticated algorithms eventually propelled our account to a remarkable 63% growth YOY. The patience required in the early stages paid off immensely as Sellozo meticulously scaled our campaigns. Our full-service account manager has been an invaluable asset, offering knowledgeable and thoughtful guidance throughout our journey. Also, Sellozo's flat-fee payment structure is great because unlike competitors that take percentages of PPC there is growth without conflicts of interest. Less than a year into our partnership, we've not only seen impressive results but also discovered the importance of being well-stocked to keep pace with the growth Sellozo can unlock. This software has not just been a tool but a transformative partner in our Amazon Strategy.

Had a brief interaction with their team recently—professional, responsive, and clearly know their space. Didn’t go deep into anything long-term, but the experience was solid. Would definitely keep them in mind for future healthcare marketing needs.

One of my friend recommended this place to eat out and I love it very much. I have no concern , food is very delicious, the workers are really great, people are diverse, and most of it all the food portion is really great for its price. Let’s just say ever since I tried it for it the first time I became a loyal customer.Sometime they are busy so seating will take a while but it’s worth the wait. When it’s not busy there seating is really fast. Overall the customer service is really great! I think everyone should try this place once in their lifetime!!

I highly recommend JLSA for any size of marketing project. We at KVC Health Systems have worked with the Johnny Lightning team for 8 years now. They helped us reimagine how we present our fairly large, complex child welfare and mental health organization to clients and supporters, creating an attractive-looking brand that is much easier to understand. The original project included a new logo lock-up system and website that continue to serve us well 8 years later. Since then, we have continuously worked with JLSA on other digital marketing and graphic design work. They have helped me earn accolades for the look of our materials as well as the results we are getting with our digital marketing. They are a genuinely great group of people to know and work with. They have always stuck to any budget or timeline we set, and are very agile and responsive. Plus they are FUN! What are you waiting for? Go find the secret green door and begin your marketing adventure of a lifetime.

I worked with JLSA intially over five years ago on a rebranding project for my business. I couldn't be happier with the branding, brand guidelines and the process it took took to get there. They listened to our input and worked hard to understand our business. We have worked with JLSA on many projects since then. I would highly recommend them. Thanks guys!

Johnny Lighting has been a joy to work with. Their technical and creative skills are second to none. The first project they worked on was our website, which was designed several years ago by another company and needed both updated/upgraded coding and additional content. The revised website is visually unchanged (which is what we wanted) and much more Google-friendly. In this and in our subsequent projects, the Johnny Lighting team has always taken the time to fully understand our needs and our goals, has worked collaboratively with us to ensure that all content meets with our approval, and has delivered excellent results.

The Remedy crew is an absolute pleasure to work with. My team has worked with them across numerous projects, and they've easily become our go-to company for video production.Most recently, their team did an outstanding job capturing a large live event for us, filming the Keynote and nearly 30 additional stages in just two days. They're creative, sharp, attentive and able to seamlessly adapt to fast-paced environments. Their professionalism and attention to detail is top notch, and the final products continually exceed our expectations.Can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks again Remedy!

Even if you have an in-house advertising team, the skills and knowledge of a specialized ad agency will make a significant difference in your approaches and campaigns.
Huge ad agencies might have an impressive list of clients and offer various services, but they might not always be the wisest choice for local brands. Hiring one of the best advertising agencies in Kansas City, familiar with the local market and business ecosystem, is often best.

Choosing an advertising agency in Kansas City that meets your expectations is challenging. Local agencies can be your best companion in reaching your business goals, but not all are the same.
Each agency will have different specializations, resources and rates. Take these steps to find the right agency partner for your brand:
Start looking for an agency partner in Kansas City upon deciding on your goals. One way to do your search is by talking to their local clients and asking about their experience with the agency. Because they’re local, they’ve already worked with other companies in the area.
If you can’t find companies from the same market, look for entrepreneurs that have encountered similar challenges.
Create and send to prospective advertising agencies in Kansas City your request for proposal (RFP), which will allow you to gather crucial information about specific vendors and pick the agency that best fits your needs.
The advertising RFP should outline your project’s scope, goals and vendor requests, including:
It’s also advisable to check how the agency promotes itself online. Kansas City advertising firms know how to advertise their services and create content to build credibility and trust.
You should only limit your search to agencies with a good track record. Don’t hesitate to visit their website, where you can find their testimonial page. Or ask for their case studies if possible.
Hiring one of the top-rated advertising companies in Kansas City means hiring a stranger to represent your brand. That’s the reason you should ensure you’re on the same page. For example, a young, trendy agency can be ideal for a young startup company.
It’s also best to check if they have a blog on an agency’s website and pay attention to specific factors, including:
Lastly, ask yourself if their content aligns with your approach and objectives.
Finding the right Kansas City ad agency with whom you share business chemistry is also crucial.
Meet the team who will work on your account and prepare a list of questions about their strategies, methods and other issues you want to clarify.
Interviewing each agency on your list may be time-consuming, but it will help you better understand whether or not you can build a healthy and fruitful business partnership.
