Marketing Strategy Review from Joe Novara
I've had the pleasure to know Wendy Coulter and the team at Hummingbird Creative Group for well over a decade. During this time, I've owned two businesses, both of which have engaged with Hummingbird at different levels. The professionalism, knowledge of their industry and outside the box thinking are what makes Wendy and the rest of her team stand out within their industry. In my current business, we have used Hummingbird to help us get our messaging down and develop a brand that professionals remember and want to refer. The process was far deeper than I expected and I learned about my own business in ways I wouldn't have believed. Hummingbird has always been an easy referral for me and the rest of my team. I look forward to referring them many times for many years in the future.

5 Stars isn't enough! The creative team at Hummingbird took our ideas and process for nutrition and weight loss which (we were delivering in a less than fancy word doc!) and transformed it into a beautifully branded website with fantastic copy and a GREAT message. The entire process with Wendy and Dianne was easy from the initial meeting. What we love about Hummingbird is their ability to pull out what you do and put it into a visual package which sells! Our site and collateral materials are fresh and beautiful! Worth every penny. Thank you!!
Paul Immanuel's Review Sourced from Google
The Hummingbird Creative Group is a very unique company. They take the time to understand your business as well as the people behind it. They then look at your product, understand why a set of customers might need the product. They help you market the product to your target market with state of the art websites, steady social media interactions, eye catching flyers and support you in every way. It has been a joy interacting with their founder and CEO, Wendy Coulter who is able to communicate the message that you want her to communicate to all groups of people. She understands all age groups and understands what is going on in most industries. I have recommended her business to many --without reservations!

We had a great experience working with Spotlight Media on our custom business website for Wellness District. They gave our site a much more visually appealing and business-focused look, making a big difference for our brand. Megan Suedback was fantastic to work with throughout the design, development, and deployment phases. She has a great eye for detail and continues to help us create beautiful and functional additions to our site. Her creativity and expertise make the process smooth and enjoyable. We also worked with Nick Schommer during deployment and ongoing optimization. He’s extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. Anytime we need updates or adjustments, he’s quick to help and always reliable. Overall, we’re really happy with the work from Spotlight Media and appreciate their professionalism and expertise. Highly recommend!
Kristi Ulrich's Review Sourced from Google
When our family purchased Jacuzzi Hot Tubs of Fargo and Ulrich Pool Company we knew that we wanted a marketing partner that would work with us and help us to grow our business from the beginning. The team, led by Mike is passionate about all things marketing and steps up to the plate to help us make the most of our marketing and advertising dollars. The engagement we get from so many team members is amazing, it is as though they are on our payroll. The different integrated platforms that we are using, the ability to adjust as needed to get results and the various reporting methods so we are able to know what is working the best is very important to us. Spotlight Media's dedication to our success is evident is all they do for us and we are grateful for the partnership. We look forward to continued success and would highly recommend Mike and his team to others.

Charlie L's Review Sourced from Google
Had a great experience working with Exhibit Experience. Their team was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented from planning through execution. They delivered a visually strong, functional booth that aligned perfectly with my costumer’s brand and helped them stand out at a large, fast-paced event with over 18,000 attendees. Support was spot-on, allowing us to focus on making the most of the show. Marta was super helpful when we’re in a crunch during set up. We even had Jose, the CEO, reach out to us to see if there was anything else the company could do. Truly top notch customer service. Would highly recommend Exhibit Experience for any trade show or event needs.
