Ashley Pola Director of Marketing at CalmWave
5.0★
Web Design Review from Ashley Pola
Single Origin handled the rebrand and website redesign for CalmWave, our healthcare AI platform, and did it with a level of strategic rigor most agencies don't bring to a regulated, technical product. The site now builds trust with clinicians and enterprise buyers instead of just looking polished. They were incredible to work with and delivered real results in our budget and timeline. I would recommend without hesitation.

Website Redesign Review from Kirsten Carlson
Really good people - they came highly recommended and lived up to the hype with an on time and under budget project. Their knowledge, communication and professionalism are all very impressive! They also went above and beyond, even guiding us (politely) away from wish list ideas that wouldn’t fit with the functionality we wanted.

The franchisor for my business has just added this agency to our website and SEO management. Even though I have not yet signed up as a customer, I have had a great experience so far. Fernando, CEO has been very forthcoming with information and has proven to have great integrity. He has spent time with myself and my current SEO co, his competitor, to help us get educated on the transition, upcoming changes, watchouts, and is just very open with sharing. It's nice to see an agency with such integrity.

Oneupweb is best-in-class and our first-choice web partner. Oneupweb is a good fit for us as a brand identity design firm. Day one, I left an intro message at the Oneupweb site and received a call the next morning. They keep their delivery promises; their project leaders take good care of us; their developers track the details; their work products are technically excellent; they bring value by stewarding budgets like we do; their in-house teams are innovative and inspiring. They are a high-quality, professional team. As a design firm principal, I say OneupWeb is top shelf.

Jill Mercurio's Review Sourced from Google
After over a decade struggling with an old website that was ugly and difficult to manage, Stirling worked with us to create a beautiful, modern, branded website AND taught us how to manage and maintain it. Their friendly and knowledgeable team helped us imagine what our new web presence could look like and allowed us to weigh in at every step to customize the design so it best reflected our Library. They were organized and responsive throughout the entire process. We couldn't be more happy with our choice to go with Stirling and our amazing finished product!

JCLS Marketing Team's Review Sourced from Google
Working with the Stirling team was a fantastic experience. They were communicative and collaborative. Their energy and enthusiasm made them a joy to work with and their skill and creativity assured that we got a unique one of a kind website, rather than a "out of the box" readymade product.
Mark Spencer Review from Google
1.0★
Mark Spencer's Review Sourced from Google
I am sad to say that I do not share the enthusiasm of the other reviewers. Mr. Stirling did an excellent job of marketing his services and prompting me to call. My company had contracted with another company to build a new website and never finished it. After some discussion with Thomas, he estimated the cost to finish was $2000. I have the agreement that states this. Unfortunately, $2000 ended up fixing one page only. He claimed that there were too many broken links to finish the job. Of course he was happy to continue work for a lot more money.Rather than insist that he finish it for the original amount agreed upon, I simply requested that we do our best on our end and that we ask a question or two as we progressed. Mr. Sterling became belligerent and accused me of trying to wangle free services. He then shut down our website (fortunately not live) until we paid in full.I will say that the staff under Mr. Sterling were delightful to work with. Unfortunately the unprofessional attitude of their boss made for a terrible experience.

TEC Direct Media has helped us on several projects, and has been instrumental in helping our agency "learn the ropes" about programmatic and all things digital. We're always learning new things about digital for our clients, and TEC Direct has always been there when we have a question. They have helped us on two projects in 2016, and each of those were successful and those clients will continue with us in 2017. We consider TEC Direct a strategic partner. D.

Web Development Review from Amanda Kendrick
Adam and his team at Encite are absolutely exceptional in everything that they do. I know that I can reach out for anything at anytime and get an answer back right away. If ever there is something I want to change on our website, no matter how big or small, I know that Adam and his team will respond right away and make the changes with very little wait time. Not only are they great with site modifications, they also have saved the day on more than one occasion with graphics and other special projects. They really can help with just about anything and our company views them as one of our most valuable and utilized vendors. I would highly recommend Encite to anybody looking for help with Marketing and Websites.

Media Buying Review from Abby Miller
We recently opened a retail store in Parker, Colorado. Since we are not native to Colorado, we were in need of a way to get our name out there. Adam and his team have gone beyond our expectations of what an ad agency would provide for our business. They helped us understand our brand, learned our priorities and continue to implement them into our marketing and advertising. We have an on-going relationship with Encite and look forward to what we can accomplish together in the future.

Eddie B's Review Sourced from Google
Extremely disappointing experience.I hired Starke Marketing to run my marketing campaigns. Over two months later, I’ve received no deliverables, no active campaigns, and no response to multiple emails or phone calls. Missed key sales periods like Memorial Day without any explanation or action. I ultimately had to terminate the relationship and request a full refund. No Refund was processed.If you value your time and business momentum, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This company overpromises and severely underdelivers.

I highly recommend Starke Marketing for any website or marketing needs, as they do a fantastic job, while treating you like family!

DDL Advertising has been a game changer for my business. I could only take my brand so far on my own, but their team truly saw my vision and brought it to life. Everything was incredibly timely, organized, and clear — we were always on the same page. Being new to this and not knowing much, their support and communication made all the difference. The logo designs they created are timeless, and now they’re helping me build a second business from the ground up with logos, labels, website, and packaging. Their team is incredibly diverse in what they can do, with an impressive and expanding book of business. DDL is simply the best — super easy to work with, and they’ve earned a forever customer in me.

Click-through rate (CTR), cost per click (CPC), engagement rate, and video completion rate to evaluate creative and audience relevance
Conversion rate, cost per acquisition (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), and customer acquisition cost (CAC) to measure profitability and scalability
Attribution coverage, assisted conversions, and incrementality to understand paid media’s true contribution across channels
Budget pacing, spend utilization, and testing velocity to gauge operational discipline and optimization effectiveness
