Janet McGlaughlin's Review Sourced from Google
“Trusting someone with your “baby” is a huge leap of faith for any business owner. However, from the start, my instincts told me this no-nonsense agency would work hard to represent Marmion and our team with integrity and purpose, and go on to create something we could all be truly proud of.Our rebrand was made possible by the exceptional team at HUB. Their ability to capture our vision, values, and ambition was deeply moving (actual tears), and the outcome speaks for itself. Not only was this a big investment, it was personal for me, as it represents a lot of hard work and effort. So it mattered that they got it right, and they did.This was a team effort from Hub (Rob, Helen, Josh, Vicki - to name a few) amazing people with enormous emotional intelligence, and they have all been a joy to work with. They now take care of all our socials and brand development (Hana, Mark and Vicki). All in all we couldn’t have asked for a better partner. Thank you … you just got us from day one, in the same way we got you.😊PS They also managed to get us through a photoshoot, which is pretty impressive. However, we managed to capture them too😜
Matthew Lindon's Review Sourced from Google
My experience working with Hub has been outstanding. Their depth of knowledge and expertise far exceeds that of other marketing companies I've worked with in the past.They are highly responsive, quick to implement practical requirements, and consistently provide insights that help shape key business decisions and direction. This high standard extends across the entire team—each member is supportive, professional, and clearly competent in their field.Would recommend.

Neil and the team at Columbus Marketing Experts rebuilt our website and helped our practice start appearing in Google searches for weight loss services in Dublin, Ohio. Before working with them we weren’t showing up on page one, and now we are starting to appear in the search results and Google maps.

If you spend even just five minutes talking to Joana with Asteri Agency, you instantly realize you are dealing with a brilliant strategic mind. She doesn't just look at marketing on the surface; she understands the future of how people (and AI) find businesses online.Everything Joana does is built on three massive pillars: Clarity, Structure, and Authority. She has built an incredible reputation for helping brands move away from just chasing empty website clicks, and instead building real, deep consumer trust. Her approach is high-level, intentional, and purely relational.If you know a business owner who feels like they are invisible online, or someone who wants their brand to be the ultimate trusted authority in their industry, they need to talk to Joana.Joana, thank you for bringing your global expertise, your sharp strategy, and your incredible standard of excellence to everything that you do!
Frank De Raffele's Review Sourced from Google
“Joana is the ultimate professional. After just a few minutes of speaking with her you realize her depth of knowledge about online marketing and how to get you the greatest exposure possible. However, beyond exposure she works her magic to get you results. Those results come in the form of clicks, inquiries and prospective clients. Working with Joana is a pleasure. She is always positive, clear in her communication and focused on listening to your needs and converting those needs into the strategic online marketing that will work for you. I have and will continue to refer Joana to family, friends, clients and industry referral partners. I know when I refer Joana it comes back to me with compliments from those that have met and worked with her. If you are looking for an online marketing specialist to get you seen above your competitors, you will not find a more seasoned professional. I give Joana my highest recommendation.”
Gina Buchanan's Review Sourced from Google
Joana Sauliene of Asteri Agency is someone who brings both vision and professionalism to the work she does. What stands out most is her ability to combine strategy, creativity, and clarity in a way that helps businesses strengthen their presence and credibility. She is thoughtful in her approach, knowledgeable in her field, and clearly committed to helping her clients grow with intention.What I appreciate most about Joana is the way she shows up as both a leader and a professional. She brings insight, purpose, and a strong sense of direction to her work, and that creates confidence in the people she serves. It is clear that she cares deeply about delivering value and helping brands be seen in a meaningful way. Joana is building something strong through Asteri Agency, and I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a strategic and dedicated marketing professional.

Truly Excellent Experience with the Glitchads.ai team so far in our journey with them. I run a hearing care company called Hearing Therapy Ltd. Audiology is a competitive market to advertise in. Having used a number of services over the years I can confidently say that their on-boarding, planning, review and scaling is second to none. They take time to understand our business, competitors and locations and really working with us to maximise the efficacy and efficiency of our ad spend.

The process has been incredibly straightforward, and the team is hands-on and proactive. I’d highly recommend Glitch to anyone looking to level up their Google Ads performance without having to invest a huge amount of time.I'm really looking forward to seeing how this partnership continues to grow and bring in new business for Riley.

Aswanth's Review Sourced from Google
Tried both the fish meals and chicken meals here, and both were delicious. The fish was fresh, the chicken was flavorful, and the meals had an authentic Mangalorean homely taste. Good portions, reasonable pricing, and friendly service. Definitely worth visiting if you're craving coastal food!
brunda nagraj's Review Sourced from Google
Small and cozy restaurant that has quite an amazing seafood platter for non vegetarians. It seems they offer the best fresh fish in the town (as per my non-vegetarian) friend. When we visited them, we ordered neer doses, mushroom ghee roast, and veg curry. The neer doses were soft and delicate, and the mushroom ghee roast was a show stopper. The mint flavoured green base used to cook mushrooms was totally perfect. And, the veg curry was brilliant too. The owner of the restaurant takes personal Interest to attend to the customers and suggest the recipes. The paintings and the plant corner uplifts the entire ambience ❤️❤️❤️❤️ do visit if you are in and around Domlur.
Rajesh's Review Sourced from Google
Tucked in a corner of Domlur lies this gem of a Mangalorean seafood place. Was quite skeptical when i was approaching the place. The first floor restaurant is quite neat and well maintained. Open kitchen adds to the charm. Seating is limited.Coming to the food, its quite tasty. The rawa fried bangda was good considering I am not a big fan of Bangda. So was meals. The green ghee roast was very good. The red one needs a bit more of roasting, i guess to remove the chillis rawness (probably borderline rawness) and give the ghee flavour more.Parking on a Sunday was easy. Not sure on weekdays as it seems crowded.

Appointment Setting Review from Katharina Müller

You're ready to hire a market research firm when the cost of a wrong decision exceeds the cost of the research itself and when the question you need answered can't be resolved with internal data alone.
That threshold looks different by situation, but here's how to read the signals:
You're ready if:
You're NOT ready if:
Eliminate on three criteria before you spend a single call: methodology fit, sector fluency, and sample access.
What NOT to consider as a criterion: Agency size, award lists, and website aesthetics are not shortlisting criteria.
A standard market research project runs 6 to 8 weeks, on average. Here's how the timeline is usually sequenced:
Start with a pilot if you've never worked with this firm before and the full engagement exceeds $50,000.
A pilot project, typically a smaller, bounded study or a single research wave, serves three functions:
When to skip the pilot and commit upfront:
One important clarification: A pilot is not a free consultation. Budget it as a real, paid engagement with a clear deliverable.
Switch when the data quality is compromised, stay when the issue is communication or process friction, which are fixable problems.
Switch immediately if:
Give them more time if:
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
Every agency is independently vetted before it can be listed or ranked
Some agencies pay for sponsored placement, clearly labeled and held to the same vetting standards.
The most disqualifying red flag is a market research firm that proposes a methodology before diagnosing your problem. This is a common indication that the firm is reverse-engineering your question to fit their existing fieldwork infrastructure, rather than designing a study to answer what you actually need to know.
You should also consider the panel opacity; namely, any market research company that can't specify whether they're using a river sample, a proprietary panel, or a blended approach, and what their median panel tenure and re-contact intervals look like, might be concealing a data quality problem.
Other red flags to watch out for are:
A custom market research project from a professional firm can cost from $25,000 to $65,000, with specialist market research commanding the higher end of that range.
In terms of variables, there are five factors that affect final pricing:
The costs most clients don't see coming are fieldwork overruns, unbundled data processing fees, and multi-market add-ons. Here are a few more details about each cost:
The safest way to obtain an accurate proposal is to ask the agency for a full cost-at-risk breakdown, i.e., a list of every line item that could increase based on fieldwork conditions or scope changes.
The right market research agency is the one that's honest about what your budget can and can't buy.
The real risk is underspending just enough to get a study that looks credible but can't answer your actual question:
A credible market research company will tell you upfront if your budget constrains the methodology.
Bad engagements follow the same pattern almost every time: a vague brief, a proposal that doesn't challenge it, and a final deliverable that presents data without telling you what to do with it. Underdelivered outcome looks different depending on what you hired them for:
In practice, these aren't unusual outcomes. More so, they tend to happen when a market research company takes a brief at face value instead of pressure-testing whether the methodology actually answers the main question.
Before you proceed with collaboration, ask the agency three things:
Hiring a market research firm only makes sense when you have a genuine information gap: a decision that's significant, hard to reverse, and cannot be answered with data you already have. Outside of that, you're paying for research you don't need.
Skip the service if your timeline is too short. A properly designed study with a screener, fieldwork, data cleaning, and analysis takes weeks. Rushing that process cuts quality controls, and data with hidden flaws will ultimately give you false confidence. That's worse than no data at all. If you need an answer within two weeks, you're better off with:
Skip the service if the answer already exists. If your transaction data already shows how different customer segments respond to price changes, commissioning a new pricing study is a redundant spend.
