Senior Manager of Communications and Marketing at Western Reserve Land Conservancy

Web Development Review from Madison Shaheen
I worked with Forefront to redesign my nonprofits website and had an amazing experience. They were professional, creative, easy to work with.. I could go on and on. Our website looks amazing and is exactly what we were hoping for. I worked closely with Nick during the process and could not speak more highly of him.
Since our redesign project completed, we now use Forefront for our website maintenance and that has also been just a flawless experience. Anytime I run into a problem Phill helps me in a timely manner and is so helpful.
Can't recommend Forefront enough!

Public Relations Review from Viktor Bálint
Despite the extremely short timeframe and complexity of the project, Enterie team has done an excellent job preparing a cross-European communications plan and executing it. They coordinated our merger communication on 8 markets, helping us to secure 130+ publications in two months.
The agency approached the project of communicating our news a merger of the two leading EduTech companies in CEE that resulted in the formation of one of the biggest powerhouses of digital skills in Europe in a unique way. First, they prepared one central press release (template) and managed to coordinate the creation of all the local versions. Then, Enterie very well coordinated the distribution of the news in 8 different countries. Finally, they started pitching to journalists with exclusives, proposing interviews, articles and thought-leadership pieces by our C-level executives. The angles of communication were genuinely customized for different kinds of outlets HR, business, and startup ones. Special kudos to Ranbir, the person in charge of this part of the project, who would motivate us to stay proactive in the sphere of media relations.

Head of Marketing at SMSAPI
5.0★
Public Relations Review from Maja Wiśniewska-Hardek
We came to Enterie with the need to find local communication partners who would help SMSAPI enter the Italian, Spanish, French and German markets.
We wanted to cooperate with agencies that would advise us not only on the specifics of PR in a given country, but also on economic trends, consumer behavior and the cultural localisation of the product we offer.
I can confidently say that after several months of cooperation with local teams, their efforts have become an irreplaceable help in taking the first steps in these countries. It is worth emphasizing the professional approach of Enterie at the stage of briefing and setting communication goals.
Thanks to PR activities, we noticed a significant increase in referral visits to local language versions of SMSAPI and improved visibility in organic search results in a short time. Importantly, thanks to regular positioning in local media, we have gained many qualitative publications that directly influenced the recognition of SMSAPI brand in European countries, which quickly became visible in brand searches.
It is also worth saying that each of the agencies associated in Enterie is characterized by high professionalism and an understanding of the needs of the tech customer.

Working with Dabaran has been great for our company thus far. Within the first 3 months, we've already seen an uptick in qualified leads coming in - which is relatively rare when working with SEO. Onboarding and communication have been pretty seamless as well; very happy with our service up to this point.

After working with countless agencies and seeing little to no progress, we finally found our home with Dabaran. From day one, their team has been a breath of fresh air. Their exceptional communication ensures we're always in the loop, and the detailed reporting provides complete transparency on every aspect of our campaigns.
The results? Simply put, tremendous. We've seen our metrics trend upward since the beginning, and the growth just keeps building. Dabaran's expertise and dedication have made a measurable & significant difference for our business. If you're tired of unfruitful partnerships, give Dabaran a chance—you won't regret it!
Highly recommend! Danielle, Asad and team are well-worth the time and investment 🚀

Jason Link's Review Sourced from Google
The team at Dabaran have been very easy and professional to work with. When we started with them a few months ago, we were ranked 71st in search engines. Within that time, we've moved up to #8 and have begun getting legitimate business sales from people we do not know, which was always the goal when we started with this SEO process.
We highly recommend them to everyone...except our competitors!

I highly recommend Big Teeth Productions to marketing or communication leader looking to develop their story though video content- projects big or small. Gregg helped Common Pantry reach our goals by capturing the essence of our mission through extremely professional, but approachable, pre and post production with concept to completion process. I would hire (and will) BTP again and continue to recommend him to anyone who needs his vast talents to reach the masses in any platform.

I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.

Wiktoria Serwecińska's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Dawid from Lizardo Agency was a truly great experience. I was looking for someone who could help me design a professional and modern website for my services here in Chicago, and I’m so glad I found him.
From the very beginning, Dawid was responsive, clear, and easy to talk to. During our first call, he took the time to really understand what my business is about, who my clients are, and what kind of image I want to present online. He also asked a lot of thoughtful questions that helped me realize what exactly I needed — things I hadn’t even considered before.
Once we moved into the design phase, everything went super smoothly. Dawid shared drafts with me regularly, and he was always open to feedback. I really appreciated how collaborative the whole process felt — he gave his professional input, but also made sure the site matched my vision and personality. Communication was fast, honest, and helpful throughout. I never felt like I was left in the dark or had to wait days for a response.
The final result exceeded my expectations. The website looks amazing, works great on mobile, and already a few of my clients commented on how easy it is to navigate. Plus, Dawid made sure everything is easy for me to update later, which is a huge plus.
I’ll definitely be coming back for future projects.

This cooperation was worth every price.
I wholeheartedly recommend the services of Lizardo Agency!

Overall, I highly recommend Lizardo Agency for anyone looking for a website designer who combines skillful design with outstanding customer service. Thank you again for your excellent work!
