I am very pleased with our website. They really captured what we wanted and we don’t have anything bad to say about them. They were prompt with communication and for a small business, gave us a really good deal on our website.

WordPress Website Design Review from Gaston Magrinat
The team is personable. The visual design is professional. When the engagement was going smoothly, communication was responsive and the relationship was positive. That is the full extent of what I can recommend.
$16,610 paid across a website build and eight-month SEO programme. When the structural failures emerged commercial content hidden from search engines from day one, a broken contact form for four months, core deliverables marked complete in their own system that had never been done the pattern became consistent and never changed. Friendly responses. Reassurance. Deferral. Not in scope. Next month.
When I submitted a formal nine-section evidence package drawn from BRJ's own contracts and internal records, their response was to propose continuing the retainer at $995 per month to complete the outstanding contracted work. Every item in that proposal was already in the original contract. That proposal was their own written admission that eight months of billing had not delivered what was contracted.
When I declined and requested a refund, their formal written response claimed the Scope of Work was fully executed. Their own internal documents list the same deliverables as outstanding in April 2026 that were marked complete throughout the engagement. Both documents are BRJ's. Both cannot be true.
Not one specific failure was acknowledged. Not one item of evidence was addressed.
Mistakes happen in every agency engagement. What defines an agency is what they do when mistakes are documented and presented. This agency's answer across every avenue, verbal and written was to engage with none of it.
Before signing, ask specifically what accountability looks like when contracted work is not delivered. That answer matters more than anything in the sales process.

WordPress Website Design Review from Jason Kremers
Working with Big Red Jelly was awesome. Very engaging and collaborative, I felt confident in their team throughout the process, and from week 1, was blown away on the speed of progress. Stephen Sobisky is a wizard on website development! Also, I have been very impressed post-launch with their responsiveness to support requests or questions with further tweaks.

Digital Marketing Review from Kelly Gold
I've worked with the founders of TheSocialLynx for 10 years. They are true go-getters. When I heard they left the corporate world to run their own agency, I was excited we had a project to work together on. As an early stage startup, I knew TheSocialLynx had plenty of experience working with growth companies, and they've been instrumental in helping to form campaigns, SEO optimizations, social management and coordinating resources through their network. Whether you're looking to hand off pieces of your work so you can focus your time elsewhere, or looking for strategic inputs TheSocialLynx has been ready to find a path to work with us where we are at in our growth. Always a pleasent experience working with a down-to-earth results driven group of people.

I've been working with Performance Heroes for a couple of years now. With their help and expertise we were able to rapidly scale our e-mail marketing efforts in the German market. My contact person is Jamal Thiem, who did not only help me scale e-mail marketing, but also stands out in thinking along and finding new and creative solutions to get an optimal marketing mix. Over the years he was not only a contact person, but also gained a lot of knowledge on the markets we operate on which allowed him to stay on top of changes and therefore was able to navigate and implement new ideas in a fast and efficient way. Would highly recommend Performance Heroes.

Daniela Escamez's Review Sourced from Google
Influencer Hero has become part of my everyday workflow. Everything I need is in one place, from discovering creators (their tools and filters are excellent!) to managing outreach with email flows and clear status tracking. You can even handle payments directly through the platform, which makes the process so much easier
I also love the design: it’s clean, friendly, and easy on the eyes, no overwhelming clutter or unnecessary buttons, so no user paralysis, just what you need to get work done efficiently.
They’re constantly rolling out new features, and the best part by far is their support team. They’re so friendly, and always willing to guide you through their software, take feedback, and help whenever you need it.
I’d 100% recommend Influencer Hero over other massive outreach platforms, it’s more efficient, userfriendly, and genuinely supported by a team that cares.

This was a great platform for our small business and the Influencer Hero team worked hard to help our start up get going. We will be reaching back out to the Influencer Hero team for our next marketing campaign. It saved us so many hours of trying to manage the email flows ourselves and the database they have for influencers is massive

Influencer Hero has been a powerful platform for scaling our influencer campaigns. It brings everything together—from outreach to onboarding—in one clean, efficient dashboard. The ability to send mass emails has made our workflow much smoother compared to relying on DMs or TikTok Shop tools. We’ve onboarded two brands with Influencer Hero so far and have been really impressed by how easy it is to run large-scale gifting programs. The customer support is also outstanding—Teresita, our rep, has been incredibly responsive and supportive every step of the way.

Josh Isles's Review Sourced from Google
When working with agencies it can be harder to create the chemistry required for a long-term partnership. We've created a great relationship with Embryo, this is due to Embryo being well-organised, understanding our requirements from the get-go, and importantly adapting to our strategy quickly when we've needed to change focus. Embryo's approach to digital marketing as a whole is very professional with departments and personnel in all the key areas to enable us to achieve the objectives needed and quickly. Our account manager Megan is friendly, thorough, and organised. Megan clearly understands a lot of the business in order to answer questions or coordinate whatever is required in order for us to get answers in a timely manner.

I simply trust Embryo. They make promoting your business on the web easy to understand. But don't let that ease detract from the fact that these people are geniuses masquerading as lovely, friendly, welcoming, dog-friendly, caring people. I trust them with my clients and regularly refer my clients to them. If there were a sixth star, I would.

I've been working with Embryo for close to 12 months now and have to say they've done nothing but impress. Their comprehensive understanding of our business means that they can take on new projects swiftly and with confidence. A special shout out to Megan Ritchie, our Account Manager, who always puts our needs first and feels like member of our own marketing team.

Digital Services Review from Caterina Sestili GAICD, CAHRI
WARNING: FRAUDULENT, DECEPTIVE BUSINESS DO NOT BUY FROM PROVIDER DIGITAL PTY LTD James Mcierty is a fraud
If you are considering doing business with Provider Digital Pty Ltd, DO NOT PROCEED. This company is a scam. It has defrauded multiple clients, including us, through fraudulent practices, failure to deliver, and outright dishonesty.
We engaged Provider Digital Pty Ltd in late 2023 to develop a website and provide digital marketing services for our business. The project was supposed to be completed in December 2023, but we are still waiting over 14 months later. Despite numerous follow-ups, meetings, and commitments from their representative, James Meichtry, they have failed to deliver the promised services.
Key Issues We Experienced:
Unfinished Website Over a Year Late!
The project was due in December 2023 and is still incomplete as of February 2025.
Despite multiple reassurances and a meeting on January 21, 2025, where James personally promised to finish it in 3 days, nothing was done.
After numerous attempts to support them to remedy the situation, a staging link was provided in February 2025, but it lacked essential content we had already offered and was still unfinished.
Avoidance and Lack of Communication
Multiple attempts to reach them via email and phone calls have been ignored.
They have repeatedly dodged our inquiries. Their main business phone constantly goes to message bank and/or seems to be unattended.
Their development teams, based in the Philippines, are hopeless, with no experience and technical or design capability. The logo designs they sent were AI generated and lacking any creativity or professionalism.
Their teams change almost monthly, leading to a complete lack of accountability.
Substandard and Amateur Work
When a draft was finally shared, it contained incorrect branding, outdated images, and amateurish designs.
We provided branded images and several times, yet they continue to use irrelevant stock

SEO Review from Karen Dowsey
I engaged with this company on 26 January, 2024 for a Web Essentials Package but, to date, no work has been carried out on the agreed-upon services. Despite multiple attempts to communicate with Mike Hasiuk, I was told that someone would be in touch, but weeks have passed without any follow-up. I also reached out to Marty Steele, who assured me he would pass my concerns on to Mike, but I have not heard back from either of them.
Unfortunately, the company has refused to provide a refund and has been unresponsive, leaving me with no choice but to escalate the matter to the Department of Fair Trading. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise against engaging with this company.

Bhavin Shah's Review Sourced from Google
I strongly advise all suppliers to exercise caution when considering doing business with Provider Digital. We have been following up on unpaid cleaning service invoices for the past two years, with consistent communication since November 2024.
James from Provider Digital repeatedly promised payment but failed to follow through. On two occasions, we posted Google reviews highlighting our experience. Both times, James requested us to remove the reviews, citing concerns about their clientele. Out of respect, we complied.
On January 21st, we agreed that payment would be made by February 10th. Today is February 25th, and no payment has been received. Instead, we continue to receive excuses, ranging from blaming the collection agency to requesting invoices that have already been provided.
This experience has been unprofessional and disappointing. I strongly encourage other suppliers to proceed with caution when dealing with this firm and urge Provider Digital's clients to consider working with ethical and reliable service providers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Affiliate Marketing Firms
What services do affiliate marketing companies provide?
Affiliate marketing agencies provide a broad spectrum of services aimed at elevating businesses’ commissions and revenue through a network of partners or affiliates.
While many people associate affiliates strictly with social media influencers and public figures, professional affiliate marketing agencies manage a much broader ecosystem of niche content creators, review sites, coupon and loyalty portals, and larger media publishers.
These partners promote a product or service to their established audiences, earning a commission only when a verified sale or lead is generated through their unique tracking affiliate link. An affiliate program generally follows a B2C (business-to-consumer) model, but B2B arrangements also exist.
Key services of affiliate marketing companies encompass:
Program setup
Affiliate marketing strategy
Partners recruitment
Commission management
Affiliate vetting
Performance reporting
What types of affiliate marketing are there?
Affiliate marketing is traditionally categorized by the relationship between the marketer and the product, as well as the promotional medium used. Professional affiliate engagement typically falls into three distinct categories:
Involved affiliate marketing: This model relies on firsthand experience. The affiliate uses and endorses the product through reviews and tutorials. This type has shown to deliver a better conversion rate and make the business a trusted brand.
Related affiliate marketing: The marketer operates within the same industry or niche as the product but does not necessarily use it personally. For example, a financial blog may promote a specific credit card to its established audience.
Unattached affiliate marketing: A purely performance-based model where the affiliate has no direct connection to the product or its niche. The affiliate runs pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns and places the affiliate link in ads, hoping consumers click and purchase.
How much do these services cost?
Across industries, the median affiliate commission rates stand at 5% to 30% of the sale amount. This percentage tends to be higher when collaborating with retail, beauty, and fashion brands, while B2B, electronics and other high-end products pay on the lower end. And that's only for the commissions payout.
To this sum, businesses need to factor in an additional $2,000 to $10,000 per month for the affiliate marketing company. The scope usually dictates the service fee, finalized based on the number of affiliates, campaign setup, creative production, reporting, and optimization.
In terms of the payment method, there are a few main models to choose from:
Pay-per-sale: Pays a percentage of earn commissions
Pay-per-lead: Pays for qualified referrals
Pay-per-click: Offers small payments per each visitor
Pay-per-install: Pays for each app/software download and install
How are commissions usually tiered?
Affiliate marketing companies usually structure the commission based on the complexity of the conversion and the level of creator influence. Here are the average commissions and payouts businesses can expect:
Reach and engagement: 5% to 20%
Revenue-share tiers: 15% to 30%
Flat fee or revenue-share agreements: Around 15%
Referred sale commission: 5% to 25%
Performance-based influencer compensation: 5% to 20%
What is the difference between affiliate marketing and influencer marketing?
The main distinction between affiliate marketing and influencer marketing lies in the primary objective and the corresponding compensation structure.
Affiliate marketing is primarily a performance-oriented model whereaffiliates earn commissions exclusively for prompting specific actions. The engagement delivers immediate return on investment (ROI) and functions as a direct sales channel. Consequently, the relationship between the brand and the affiliate is purely transactional.
By contrast, influencer marketing uses a creator's social influence and audience to cultivate brand awareness and brand trust. Compensation in this model typically involves an upfront flat fee or product gifting in exchange for creative content and visibility.
In essence, affiliate marketing agencies focus on the bottom of the sales funnel, while influencer agencies target the top by putting more emphasis on the narrative and brand resonance.
