Web Design Review from Ted Brunetti
I highly recommend PROSPERIAM for its stellar quality, creativity, efficiency, effectiveness, and genuine care for the highest succes of your project, There is never any "hard sell". PROSPERIAM's consistancy in offering highly informed, creative, and effective options, accompanied by a most positive, colaborative, and genuinely caring manner are just some of the assets they have to offer. From discussing project overall goals, presenting several options, to the colaborative creation of a specific, well thoughtout strategy, following up with a most responsible, timely, and effective execution of the plan is why I am so pleased with my on-going engagement with PROSPERIAM. I am grateful to have found PROSPERIAM to assist and navigate the evolution of my projects, in this fast-paced, constantly changing environment. PROSPERIAM has earned my hard to gain trust and, again, I highly recommend PROSPERIAM.

Social Media Marketing Review from Wallis Murphy-Munn Teaching you to Calm your Frazzled Nervous System
I have worked with Jana for 7 years, and am consistently impressed by her dedication. She goes the extra mile for her clients, is highly detailed and gets results. Social media marketing feels like the wild west sometimes, and having someone like Jana on your team is always a good idea! I highly recommend PROSPERiAM.

Brand Strategy Review from Jen Yeuroukis
I reached out to Jana and the PROSPERiAM team to help me re-vamp a hospitality rental business that I was really struggling to break even on. Prior to meeting the team at PROSPERiAM, I tried some budget friendly solutions on my own and I learned the hard way that marketing, social media management and brand building is an art form that requires experience, expertise, time and dedication. It's a lot more than daily instagram posts. Once I finally decided to invest in hiring a proper marketing team, they not only helped me improve my social media platform looks and messaging, they inspired me to see that there were so many options for upping my visibility that I had never considered before. In short when it comes to marketing and brand building, you get what you pay for. I finally have a team that can create a plan that is truly efficacious and that will grow with me and my business.

Working with REDIDEO STUDIO has been a total game-changer for my small business. They showed me how much strategy goes into actually getting found online, and helped me optimize things from the right keywords and categories, to posting consistently. Since implementing their SEO advice, I’ve noticed people find me directly on Google Maps and I have a higher ranking because of it. So happy! I highly recommend working with them!

The Blue Barn team is the best! They recently assisted my team on-site at an event where they provided professional headshots to over 250 people in 2.5 days. They were busy from start to finish, and were incredible - they gave the attendees ample time and attention to ensure they were happy with their headshot, and kept an incredible and positive attitude throughout the entire experience. They were so great to work with, and I look forward to working with them again in the near future!

We have worked with Blue Barn for 2 of our most recent videos on Grand Openings and have been very happy with the process and final product! Blue Barn has a large, talented team that made filming day a breeze. They were able to film everything day of our events at the same time which made the process so much easier for us. They are receptive to editing feedback and always very professional and kind to work with. We will be hiring them for our videos in the future!

My team has been working with ConvertViews for close to 2 years now. Without a doubt, we wouldnt have been able to profitably scale several of our clients accounts to 7 and 8 figures a year without the video ad creatives Andrew and his team provided. Its been a great partnership and hes super easy to work with as well!If youre looking for UGC video ads that can help grow your business, Andrew is the one you need to talk to. He helps brainstorm ideas, provides scripts, helps us find talent, and draws on his deep experience to make sure our videos are edited in a way to bring in the best ROI.

My name is Art Pal and I run a record label as well as a financial service firm and what I've got to tell you about Dash two is that they are very responsive, they resolve issues on the spot with no hesitation, and they show you and your business the love that it deserves. I want to acknowledge Kim-Lynn for her listening, patience, and ability to be with whatever requests I had when we got our bench ads. We did 30 bench ads with Dash Two and I can honestly say, I wont go anywhere else for this kind of outdoor advertising!Art2 Faced Entertainment Studios

We've had the pleasure of working with Claire at Splash PR for over 10 years now, and the partnership is still going strong. Claire knows her craft inside and out. On every project, she has a perfect vision of what we want to achieve, and she delivers flawlessly every time.She is committed, dedicated, always available, and deeply professional. She's constantly doing whatever it takes to help our business succeed, and what truly sets her apart is that she consistently goes above and beyond what is expected, driven by a genuine pursuit of perfection.We couldn't recommend Claire and Splash PR more highly.

Isabelle Krief's Review Sourced from Google
Everything looked great on paper but Claire did very little for my business and only fulfilled about 30% of the plan set up in our contract. Everytime I asked her if she had done the task we had set up, there was either a delay or she didn't do it at all and found excuses. I was very disappointed by her lack of professionalisme eventhough she charged me 3k/month. She did a lot of damage for my business and I would not recommend her.

Kirsten AD's Review Sourced from Google
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.
