Eric Lachter CMO at Birthright Israel Foundation
5.0★
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.

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.
Michael Margolis Chief Medical Officer at Michigan Healthcare Professionals
5.0★
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.

Andrew Gonzales's Review Sourced from Google
Hired Nikalabs a few years back because my website was a mess and I hated it. It was confusing, cluttered, and just straight up ugly!Originally I found these guys on yelp and I wanted to give them some love on Google My Business too!I own a carpet cleaning business in Santa Clara and I needed to find a company I could trust and feel comfortable with to build a great website. I called and talked to Ali over the phone I know that this was the right company and boy I'm glad I chose Nika Labs. I told Ali over the phone these exact words, "I want to build a clean, simple, yet elegant website" I wanted something that will be easy on the eyes and intuitive for my customers. I also expressed that there were two important tools that I absolutely needed 1) an online calendar 2) an online estimator tool. Ali, with confidence said, "We can do it no problem and we will optimize the site for both desktop and mobile web browsing". Ali's confidence assured me Nika Labs was the company to hire! He also said that once they are done I would be able to edit most of the text myself because they use Wordpress to build the site. I was sold and hired them to build the site.Ali and Nika Labs not only delivered they over delivered. They built a website I absolutely love! They listened to my every concern. My website is clean, simple, and yet elegant just the way I imagined it to be. I 100% love my site and can't stop looking at it. We hit some bumps in the road but Ali and Nika labs worked through them all. I'm so happy I went with Nika Labs and I highly recommend hiring this company to do your website!Andrew / OwnerGenesis Carpet Cleaning Services
