      Creative Services Review from Laura Rahauser

      Defy did a fantastic job from start to finish assisting Macro in a company rebrand that was announced March of 2020. We were very pleased with their ability to communicate concepts and bring the vision of CEO, Michael Glatt and Macro's new brand to life. Defy is a talented, agile, and engaged agency that pays attention not only to the details needed to be captured for a brief or review session, but also to big picture project perspectives. All contributed to a well-rounded, top notch engagement.

Having never done a project like this one, I was nervous but they led our team each step of the process. They took our feedback into account and provided us a STELLAR final product!

      I worked at Finch Brands as a Brand Strategy Intern for the summer of 2019. In only three months, I learned more than I could have imaged here at Finch. The community of team members are supportive, energetic, helpful and genuinely fun to be around. Projects challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and explore industries I never thought I'd enjoy exploring. Finch Brands was a great place for me to grow as a student, an adult, and as a professional employee.

      Paul Deutchman's Review Sourced from Google

      The wait time to receive your compensation is ridiculously frustrating. It's been well over a month and my payment is still processing. I also conduct research with human participants and can say with confidence that this is such an embarrassingly amateur company. There is absolutely no reason why they can't compensate participants immediately or at the end of the study--plenty of other marketing groups and researchers do! And from what I've heard, they use to process payment much faster. I won't be participating again--why would you when you have to wait 2 months to receive your compensation.Edit: I wish I could give 0 stars. Sago hasn’t compensated me for a study and are now ghosting my emails. DO NOT PARTICIPATE WITH SAGO ITS NOT WORTH IT! I thought this could be an easy side hustle but the hoops Sago makes you jump through, terrible service, and wait times for payment make it not worth the trouble.

      I've done many studies and focus groups with Sago (formerly Schlessinger). I've had nothing but good experiences. I would have given five stars. But I'm not a fan of the newer payment system (focus group wallet) they've switched over to. They used to pay you on the same day for in-person studies. Now you have to go through Focus Group Wallet in order to get your incentive payment and it will take many weeks before you receive it

      I'm not sure when SAGO took over but the wait time in getting paid is not fun especially if you could spend up to six hours at a site for a focus group! Staff was very nice but I miss the days when you would leave and get paid the same day! It make be fine for someone who has time to waste or doesn't need a payment right away but some people would like to get paid for their time the same day

      I started working with VSA in 2016 after going through three other services over the prior two years. These other services were sole practitioners and very small operations. They lacked oversight and control, something on which VSA is strong. In other words, the work gets done.And when the work is done there are positive results.The communications is excellent (Michele is great), they are flexible to my client’s ever changing schedules, and the feedback from those with whom they set appointments for me is positive (about the caller and their demeanor). To the person on the other end of the call it seems the caller is part of my business, which means they are very professional. I highly recommend VSA, and have recommended them to others.

      Our company has been working with VSA for about 5 years. They are such a great time and an extension to our sales and customer service team. They have both performed lead generation activities (i.e. appointment setting), as well as, customer service survey calls. VSA was quick to learn our ideal customers. They do a great job with getting to the right person. Our business is both service and product sales and VSA has a great grasp of what our objectives are. We are so fortunate to continue to see results with their hard work and dedication. I highly recommend VSA if you are looking to see more sales activity and results.
