We needed a technical proposal turned around fast, and even when our own team ran behind, Atlas stayed nimble and kept a positive attitude through it all. The final product was polished and easy to follow, despite how technical the content was.

We partnered with FireBrand for photography and some light videography to support our customer conference in Frisco, TX. They were fantastic to work with from start to finish. Their team was professional, responsive, and blended seamlessly into our event. The final assets were delivered on time and looked great! I’d gladly recommend FireBrand to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality event photo and video support.

We recently worked with Firebrand Media to film content for our social media ads, and the experience was fantastic. Luis was phenomenal. He was organized, prompt, professional, and provided clear direction throughout the entire process. He made everyone feel comfortable on camera and kept the shoot running smoothly and efficiently.
We're excited to see the finished product and would highly recommend Firebrand Media to anyone looking for high-quality content creation and video production services!

Karena Thek

5.0★
Email Marketing Review from Karena Thek
I took a leap of faith several months ago when I hired Email Broadcast. … [The] team is precise and professional. I can rely on them to do exactly what they say they will do—and more. They have worked hard to not only uphold their end of the to-do list but also to send me extensive comments about bettering the website to improve ROI once an email is sent. The emails that have been sent look professional and are in my voice and style. The SuperCollector™ to gather emails of those visiting my site are clean and inviting—just the way I wish I had the skill to do and would do if I wasn’t so busy running my business. I can’t imagine that a forward-facing email campaign that looks this professional would be anything but a huge success.

Just renewed my lease - I love this building! The location is literally perfect you’re right in the middle of everything, and it has a unique boutique-feel compared to other buildings in the area. Repairs are usually done by the next day and we just got new security entry technology which is a huge plus. All my neighbors are chill asf. Great place to live

Christine and her team are incredible, I really cannot recommend them enough. I’ve seen Christine work actual magic for clients I’ve shared with her, while also hiring her for our own services. Christine goes all in for her clients, coming up with unique ways to get attention. I always thought businesses that were in the press all the time were just “lucky”, but I’ve now come to realize that they are successful because they have Christine by their side. Christine is a ninja, she does her job so well that the public doesn’t even know she’s there. Can’t recommend Poster Consulting enough!

My experience with Baycoast Media has been awesome and well above expectations! Their service has been very personable and professional. As a small business owner, one man show, all the marketing responsibilities fall on me. I’ve gotten to where I am so far but feels like I’ve hit the ceiling. I felt like it was time for me to get some help to get me to the next level. I reached out to Baycoast, we had an initial discovery call where they really took the time to understand my marketing needs and direction. We found a plan that perfectly fit my needs and what I’m looking for. Communication with Jonathan and Sara has been great! Keeping me updated on what they’re working on every step of the way. I’m very excited to start seeing the results and continuing an awesome partnership with Baycoast! Thank you guys, I feel like a huge burden is lifted off my back and I now have time to focus on other areas of my business!
