Digital Marketing Review from Lucy Saint-Antonin
I really enjoyed working with the Codedesign team. They have a very methodical approach, first analysing and understanding business needs and then proposing the most appropriate strategy to meet those needs. They were very responsive throughout the digital project that we worked on with them, and demonstrated strong expertise on topics such as Google and Meta ads, and SEO strategy, helping us to increase traffic and conversions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any project requiring digital marketing expertise.
Digital Marketing Review from Rita Corrêa Mendes
I chose to work with Code Design on the launch of Grupo Hug because I believe they possess essential characteristics that are extremely important to me in a digital agency: team qualitification, digital expertise, credibility, client results orientation, a holistic digital approach always with an interest in going beyond a simple objectives briefing. They are very responsive and collaborative, and we have a fluid and transparent communication. They are available, always seeking to meet our needs reactively but also proactively.
Digital Marketing Review from Bruno Sober
Codedesign excels in delivering comprehensive digital marketing solutions with a focus on measurable results and client satisfaction. Their expertise in AI, eCommerce, and integrated marketing strategies ensures businesses achieve significant growth and transformation. The dedication and proficiency of their elite team make Codedesign a standout choice for digital marketing services.

Michelle Singer's Review Sourced from Google
The professional business development team for Straightin got my attention immediately, in a sea of cold contacts from LinkedIn. So they got the first meeting with me. I mean, I met them, I figure they might be able to get me set up with meetings too!Once I met with them and was introduced to other real people who would care for my LinkedIn connections as much as I do, while I do my work, it helped me to get past my fear of someone else representing me on the most important platform for my profession.I signed up for 12 months. I felt comfortable with them, and I knew that good things take consistency and patience. I was getting meetings right away and met with my account manager (and outreach manager) weekly while we got to know each other, developed my voice, fine-tuned my target audience, and more.In 6 weeks, I was confidently hands-off.By the second month, I was getting more meetings than I could handle (as a doer, owner, employer, and strategist - 4-5 a week was kicking my butt)!By the last week of the third month, I got my first client for a 12-month agreement at twice my usual monthly retainer rate, and $30,000 more than I spent for the full 12-month agreement with Straightin! 3.5 X ROI :-)I have had other projects and made some amazing contacts that have grown my referral network.My Account Manager, Kailey, sends me reports every Monday, communicates each booked or curious lead ASAP, meets with me every two weeks, and prioritizes impromptu meetings based on my occasional need to pivot to a new audience.If you have had "Network more" or "Start cold calling/emailing/DMing" or "Do more than WOM marketing" on your To-Do list for more than 1 year (I bet it's been many years;-), then this is perfect for you.Straightin makes it easy. Trust them. Most sales outreach needs a minimum of 3 months of consistent effort to start closing deals. The first month is building the relationship with your Account Manager, getting to know the target audience possibilities, refining your message. Weeks 3 through 9 were a lot of me learning how to present my services, test presentation decks, and conduct discovery calls. After that, it was just consistency and subtle refinements.Try it. If anything I said sounds familiar to you, then Straightin is for you.

Abysmal Performance and Unethical Practices - Avoid This LinkedIn Agency!!As an experienced marketing professional, I made the unfortunate decision to hire this LinkedIn agency for our enterprise sales outreach. The results were nothing short of disastrous, and their business practices left much to be desired.1. Their response rate and acceptance rate was under 1%2. They booked no meetings3. They done not understand enterprise sales
James Nathan's Review Sourced from Google
No leads delivered in two months, I gave them many chances - after a handful of silly mistakes on their behalf.On the sales call, before I signed up they explicitly said that if no leads are delivered month on month that I could break the clause, and leave the contract.They try and blame you for their poor service, then try and frame you for the poor quality of service (as seen in their reply below).I started with a "senior account manager" on the 1st call he told me he understood my needs - 1 week in, he was targeting my competitors, and 3 weeks in, the strategy had not clearly been understood, which is what made me very frustrated.(I) then requested to work with someone else, I was then moved to another "Senior account manager" and a very similar service was given.I said I want out, to which I was told I was stuck into a 6 month contract, and there's no way out - to which I threatened legal action.Address the major issues here StraightIn!!

Paul is truly a professional across multiple areas—website development, maintenance, SEO, and e-commerce. From our very first conversation, it was clear that he has an in-depth understanding of the digital landscape and a strong commitment to delivering value.He quickly identified key areas for improvement, provided actionable insights, and patiently walked me through various strategies tailored specifically to my business. Paul's expertise and approachability made the whole experience not only productive but also enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your success and has the skills to make a difference, Paul is the person to call. Thank you, Paul, for your time, guidance, and invaluable advice!

We engaged with K2L for Marketing our website about 10 months ago. We had just purchased an aged site that we felt had potential but it had been neglected. First order of business was to gather all the data they could so we can track performance backed by numbers. It is paying off for us, we are very happy with the K2L team. They are working our SEO, customer email promotions, and they designed a new refreshed site for our customer experience.
Matthew Campbell-McBride's Review Sourced from Google
Starting my own company I needed a marketing team to help me get a good idea of how to structure my marketing direction in preparation for launch. Scott and the K2L team did a fantastic job of market research, brand design and direction, culminating in a clear set of guidelines to establish my brand and make clear to contractors going forward what it is I'm looking for. I would highly recommend them to any company who is looking to establish themselves in a new industry and needs to define a clear direction for their brand!

I’m so grateful for their expertise and highly recommend them to anyone!

Josh Isles's Review Sourced from Google
When working with agencies it can be harder to create the chemistry required for a long-term partnership. We've created a great relationship with Embryo, this is due to Embryo being well-organised, understanding our requirements from the get-go, and importantly adapting to our strategy quickly when we've needed to change focus. Embryo's approach to digital marketing as a whole is very professional with departments and personnel in all the key areas to enable us to achieve the objectives needed and quickly. Our account manager Megan is friendly, thorough, and organised. Megan clearly understands a lot of the business in order to answer questions or coordinate whatever is required in order for us to get answers in a timely manner.

I simply trust Embryo. They make promoting your business on the web easy to understand.

I trust them with my clients and regularly refer my clients to them. If there were a sixth star, I would.

Sharp Ahead have been working alongside our business creating digital strategy and campaigns for us for, I believe, just over a year now (don't quote me on the timeframe.
