I joined a non-profit board to help rebuild after declining membership rates since Covid. One of the largest factors was a redesign of our website which has expertly done by CIS Agency. We've seen an increase in membership and participation by 50%. A large contributing factor was our amazing new website and being able to accurately communicate information in a timely manner. We're very grateful to the CIS Agency for their amazing work and contribution in restoring our non profit back to pre-Covid participation rates.

A Superior Alternative to Hibu in Grand Rapids!We made the switch to CIS Agency after using Hibu for many years, and it’s truly been the best decision we’ve made for our business. From the start, their team has been responsive, professional, and proactive in managing our website and making timely edits whenever needed.Based near our shop in Grand Rapids, MI, CIS Agency is an excellent local partner if you're looking for a reliable web design and digital marketing company. They've also taken over our graphic design, google ads, facebook, etc helping us with branding and visuals for our shop—and we’ve already seen a noticeable increase in leads that have converted into actual accounts.If you're a business owner in West Michigan looking for a dependable, results-driven marketing agency, I highly recommend giving CIS Agency a try. We've been using their services for over 10 years now.

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

When Glyph Marketing decides to take on a project, they DIVE IN with you until the murky waters clear. There is no question that Nic Von Schneider and his team are passionate about their comprehensive rebranding process. At USA Down Syndrome Swimming, we learned to articulate our dreams for our athletes which led to a concise, achievable vision. Once we had our vision, Glyph held our hand over the finish line with a clean new logo, full of symbolism and pride. Not only that, they created stepping-stones for us create high level social media posts with consistency and ease. Thank you Nic and team for donating your time and resources to support our athletes with Down syndrome. We will be walking tall at the next World Championship!

Working with Glyph we received more phone calls in one month than we did in 1 year of trying to do it ourselves! Highly recommend!! The team gets you thinking as a customer would, instills excitement and truly cares!

If you’re looking for someone to help design and handle the launch logistics of your new website, ClearRiver is where you should go and be sure to ask for Nathan!I’ve worked with ClearRiver in the past and received excellent service. This recent service was truly above and beyond all my expectations.We were under a very tight deadline to launch and Nathan worked diligently to meet that deadline. He worked weekends and late nights, and made many adjustments from several members of our team. Within two weeks time we were ready to launch. He was absolutely amazing at his craft, and extremely professional and easy to work with.I would highly recommend both Nathan and ClearRiver Advertising. You won’t be disappointed. In fact, you will be extremely happy with your finished product and the level of service that he offers.

Liz Hilton's Review Sourced from Google
If you are the type of person to question and challenge your partners, Deksia is not a good fit for you. I identified a weakness in Deksia's business which they thought was strong and I was treated like I was crazy. I did recieve an apology for my mistreatment of and the gross mismanagement of my account. The fact remains that I was upsold on digital marketing while Deksia had no competent staff to manage my search engine marketing (SEM). In the 6 months we worked together they neglected to verify my google account, they neglected to connect my google tag (so there was no way to optimize) and they reported bad data to make themselves look good. For the entire time I was paying them (and google!) they had my brand name in every search term. This went on for over 6 months! Why didn't I catch it sooner? Because I had a baby. I had trusted them to take care of SEM so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Once I was out of my postpartum haze and I was able to look under the hood. I found that over 85% of their reported sales were attributed to my hard earned organic reach. And yet they would self congratulate themselves and ask me to raise my SEM budget. When I revealed this to them they tried every gaslighting technique in the book. They took advantage of my trust in them. Their marketing VP even asked why they should spend time doing a postmortem of their mistakes when they could be spending time "making me more money". How can you move on and improve if you never examine your mistakes? Even getting them to admit they made all these errors took me hiring a 3rd party to generate reports and attribution models so we could uncover the truth of Deksia's performance or in this case lack thereof. There was no effort to make things better even after I had spent 6 figures with them on various projects. Instead I was billed for another 2 months after ending the relationship because it was in our contract. If you are signing a contract with them- take that part OUT! I had to pay them for doing nothing while I was paying someone else to fix the mess they made.Adam Bird is the glue holding this house of cards together and the only reason I do not completely regret working with Deksia. I came to them to elevate my brand, Swaddelini. Adam did a phenomenal job unveiling the DNA of the brand and giving me a deeper understanding of my customer. Shelly is also very talented. She took the direction from Adam to create brand messaging and imagery that did exactly what I wanted it to do. Deksia has strong creative talent that can deliver a good product; unfortunately, they lack the technical expertise to bring it home and they lack the leadership to build long lasting customer relationships.
