eCommerce Review from Anonymous
Right after launching our campaigns with Disruptive, we saw results almost instantly. Our monthly revenue jumped from about $50,000 to over $70,000. Every key Google Ads metric improved, and by November, we were already nearing $550,000 in revenue, well on track to hit our $700,000 annual goal.

Digital Marketing Review from Rebecca Zeni
I had a great experience working with Kim at Motion PR. I am a small business so she was able to tailor her expertise to my needs. I would highly recommend her.
Digital Marketing Review from Paul Litardo
Motion PR has a great staff and a great leader in Kim Eberl. My experience the past several months have been great. I recommend Motion PR to everyone.
Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette
I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

Live Events Production Review from Stephanie Worthington, CTSM
Working with Meeting Tomorrow has been a consistently excellent experience. Their team brings professionalism, creativity, and reliability to every interaction. From the earliest planning sessions through on-site execution, they demonstrated exceptional organization and clear communication, often anticipating needs before they arose. Their ability to manage complex logistics, collaborate seamlessly across internal and external teams, and maintain a positive, solutions-oriented attitude made them an invaluable partner in producing high-impact, polished events. After such a smooth and successful collaboration, it was a no-brainer to hire them again for future events.
William Mitchell's Review Sourced from Google
Meeting Tomorrow is always ready when I call. The equipment arrives in a organized plug in and turn on readiness that I need. And when I say that I need 20 more laptops, they make it happen. Five stars! Have used them since 2022.
Ben's Review Sourced from Google
Our company used Meeting Tomorrow at a recent trade conference in Nashville TN. The service was excellent. Prompt in arrival and breakdown. The quality of the equipment was excellent and the install service team was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have had a better experience. We will be using Meeting Tomorrow again for our next conference in Kansas City and beyond - rating 10 of 10.

Working with Kenneth was an incredible experience from start to finish. He was hired to shoot content for our website and socials, including photography as well as a short video. He truly understood our vibe and captured our restaurant in a way that felt both elevated and authentic. The attention to detail, lighting, and composition made every dish and cocktail look exceptional. Beyond the final product, he was professional, efficient, and great to collaborate with on-site. The content has made a noticeable impact on our website and marketing. Highly recommend for any restaurant looking to elevate their visuals.

My husband and I own a start up and have worked with Aly, Justin, and Austin at Clique for a complete rebranding and website redesign and are now working with Jeff for continuous marketing and managing our ad spend.

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

Our company worked with Brad to create a couple of videos for internal and marketing purposes. Brad was very helpful in creating the content and responded quickly to all of my questions and requests. We are very happy with the end results.
Ben Lewis's Review Sourced from Google
Our organization was in Chicago for an event, and we needed to find a videographer quickly to join us to shoot a series of interviews with organization leaders. I'm so thankful we found Brad and BP Video! Not only was Brad responsive to our needs, but he was fast and efficient upon arriving and delivered to us the raw footage in exceptionally high quality and within a couple of days of the shoot. Next time we are in Chicago and have a video need, Brad will be the videographer I work with. I highly recommend him and BP Video!
Pete R's Review Sourced from Google
tl;dr - professional + personal = praiseworthyOur parish is part of the Diocese of Joliet restructuring plan. We were hosting a listening session where a diocesan representative would come to share information about the plan for our feedback. We wanted to livestream the session for those who couldn't attend as well as archive it to our website, so we looked for a company experienced in video productionSearching around, I found Brad at BP Video. I chose him because he was local as well as having experience producing video at a local Christian church. We had our initial meeting to walk-through and explain what we hoped to achieve, especially as this was a 1st time event for both of us. He has many ideas as though would be a challenging shoot - the speaker would be nearly fifty feet away and we'd have to shoot while remaining out of the view of the participants. Brad and his team was able to accomplish this for a very reasonable costI can't recommend Brad and his team at BP Video highly enough - in addition to their skills, they are faith-filled men. To me, this adds immeasurable value to the work they do

Crux Creative and Michele have been a key partner and vendor for my business for 10+ years. Michele cares for all our publicity and advertising needs, including printed pieces.
