Public Relations Review from Monika Štěpánová
Im extremely satisfied with the cooperation. The team was kind and professional, communication was fast and seamless. I would definitely recommend!
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.
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.

Artisan Talent Reviews & Testimonials
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.
Nancy Antol's Review Sourced from Google
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.
erik johnsen's Review Sourced from Google
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.

t::t has been a solid partner for us as we work to transform our digital presence. They have provided valuable strategic insights and their communication has been consistently prompt. I'd like to particularly call out James, Joe, and Xavier for their excellent work during our engagements. Thanks t::t team for being an excellent partner!
James Fashing's Review Sourced from Google
We've worked with Thunder::tech to replace our cooperative's website. They have delivered as promised and more than expected in a professional and timely manner. Their team members are creative, technical and professional experts. We're looking forward to working on a second phase of the project with them starting soon. T::T is big enough a agency that they have multiple experts on the team with overlapping knowledge to get the job done, but not such a huge company where one might get lost as a client. As a web and digital media pro with 20+ years of experience, I recommend Thunder::tech. - JF
Swetha Siripurapu's Review Sourced from Google
The most horrible people! They are very reckless, don’t show up to appointments. Not once, not twice but thrice. You call to ask they dodge your calls.Don’t expect call backs. I went to Derek and texted him several times about this and asked to call. Nothing! Figured a month would be long enough. Don’t waste your time on these people
