      I've worked with Amp Strategy for over 3 years on multiple projects. They have been able to help my clients achieve more than I've seen others do in PR and Social. More importantly, their strategies and guidance for my clients' overall marketing strategy helps our clients position themselves for success.Whether you're looking for an outside agency to help take on PR and Social or you are looking for a team to drive your marketing strategy from the top down, I highly recommend Kat, Lori, and the Amp team.

      Working with the staff at Gemini AMS has been a very positive experience for our organization. While some SEO and marketing vendors rely on templated plans for clients, Gemini AMS provides a custom approach to their customers. I've been impressed with their knowledge, as that passes on to our team. It's been a very cohesive partnership that continues to serve our business needs well.

      We love our new website! The entire Evolve team was so great to work with from the beginning stages of our website redesign to after launch. Our dedicated account manager Brie was phenomenal, she kept the communication between us and our team on track to make sure everyone was on the same page and helped get the website to launch on time. The CEO Todd showed a vested interest in our business and our needs for our website. The team proposed innovative ideas to solve for our unique requirements for the website to produce a user-friendly, advanced, and dynamic website design. Would definitely recommend!

      The team at Evolve are extremely professional, incredibly talented and possess a tremendous attention to detail. It was amazing to see how they brought my vision to life in real-time.Working for a small nonprofit, updating and maintaining our website often times falls to the wayside due to our priorities towards the population that we serve. As a result, our website was in desperate need of an update/renovation. We were looking for a local company that would provide our website with a fresh, professional, and accessible look when we were suggested Evolve by a community partner.From the initial point of contact, working with Evolve was a great experience. Todd and his team were always responsive, resourceful, and insightful in creating ways to structure our website in order to display our services in the most effective way.Evolve has provided our organization with an accessible, user friendly website that incorporates all of the components we were so desperately wanting. With the ability to update our website ourselves, we have autonomy with what is posted and displayed on our website, which is a huge improvement for us.Evolve Marketing surpassed our expectations in every way possible with our website redesign and we couldn't be happier with the final product.
