Advertising Review from Eric Lachter
What can I say? Josh and DOL are the best. The best copy, the best ideas, the best strategy. Josh and his team helped us up-level our work to be as good as any Fortune 100 global consumer brand. I love his fresh thinking, concise writing and bold approach to grabbing attention in a world where that is the name of the game. Cannot recommend them more highly.
Brand Strategy Review from Eric Toizer
Mad Dandy is a San Francisco-based startup. Division of Labor is our advertising agency and they helped up build and launch our brand from the ground up. They designed our logo and packaging and built our brand voice and messaging plan. Division of Labor handled our social media and video creation along with all our event signage and out of home. For a startup like us, its been great working with these folks. Cant say enough good things about their creativity and strategic thinking.
Digital Marketing Review from Michael Margolis
We engaged Division of Labor as our boutique advertising partner for Michigan Healthcare Professionals, and we were absolutely blown away by the results. Not only did the campaigns resonate deeply they elevated our branding and connected exceptionally well with our target audience.The work they delivered didn't just look great it performed. The campaign not only helped improve patient outcomes but also effectively promoted the benefits of utilizing non-facility-based imaging and laboratory testing. The messaging was clear, compelling, and perfectly aligned with our strategic goals.What impressed us most was how far beyond expectations Division of Labor went. Their creativity, responsiveness, and can-do attitude made working with them an absolute pleasure. No matter the challenge, their mindset is essentially: If theres a question, the answer is yes just tell us what the question is.We couldn't be more satisfied with the partnership and results, and we highly recommend Division of Labor to any organization seeking thoughtful, impactful, and results-driven marketing.

Our non-profit worked with True Fit Marketing worked with True Fit Marketing to update and rebrand one of our event websites. Their team was attentive, creative, and really went the extra mile to present and implement ideas we hadn't even considered. We are grateful to the True Fit Marketing team, their vision, and execution; and we look forward to working with them as we continue to grow this event to other locations.
Melissa Migliaro's Review Sourced from Google
I've been working with True Fit Marketing for a few years and couldn't be happier. Recently, they suggested a fresh website update might be a good idea. We got to creating the new website and even a NEW logo color. Their team is so talented at what they do, so we just trusted them throughout the process. We couldn't be happier with the final product. Highly recommend!!!
Megan Meyer's Review Sourced from Google
My business is called Oasis Senior Advisors in the Pittsburgh area and I really like working with Arlea and the team at True Fit. They are very responsive with emails and are constantly looking to get more visibility with my Facebook page. They are very good with helping me with Facebook posts and are always looking for ways to post videos of me out and about in the community. We have monthly or every other month meetings to review statistics of google searches and how we've performed online as well as talk about what's coming in the future that they can help with. A very strong group and look forward to continuing to work with them.
