Colormatics Reviews & Testimonials
Bryce McPartland Owner & Founder at McPartland Law Offices PLLC
5.0★
Video Production Review from Bryce McPartland
We were referred to colormatics by our ad people at krem. We compared pricing and products of colormatics against a number of industry-specific marketing providers. Colormatics had the strongest portfolio and, surprisingly, offered exceptional pricing.Colormatics laid out a full shoot schedule which was pre-approved. They arrived on scene early one morning and traveled across central Washington to four separate locations to make an exceptionally tight yet comprehensive video about our firm. We began around 8 am and wrapped about 430 pm.Colormatics maintained excellent lines of communication including via email, text, cell and the video editing platform that they utilized. I always felt "in the loop" with them.
Allison Grunthaner Gibicsar Creative Director at Serta Simmons Bedding
5.0★
Video Production Review from Allison Grunthaner Gibicsar
Colormatics has been an outstanding partner in creating a huge amount of assets needed for our biggest product launch of 2023. This includes but is not limited to: social media videos, product videos, mattress cutaway visualizations, YouTube bumpers, edited b-roll, and more. The whole team is always willing to hop on the phone or quickly answer an email, with fast asset delivery and willingness to bring forth suggestions/solves outside of their scope.
Ryan Throckmorton Senior Marketing Communications Specialist at Credit Union
5.0★
Video Production Review from Ryan Throckmorton
Our team developed the idea of showcasing individuals who are making a positive impact online within their own communities. When we shared the concept with Colormatics, they immediately explored creative ways to bring it to life visually. They transformed our vision into a compelling visual narrative.The final piece blended live-action footage with motion graphics. We conducted interviews and also wanted to highlight the social media activity of these community members. Their profiles were used as a storytelling device, appearing almost like flashbacks, but animated in a way that made the content feel like it was unfolding in real time.We’re now experimenting with turning interview voiceovers into animated illustrations. We believe these could resonate even more on social platforms. The plan was to compare performance between the two video styles, and we’re looking forward to testing them soon.

Reap Commerce Reviews & Testimonials
Kate Ferguson CEO at Flourish Plant
5.0★
eCommerce Review from Kate Ferguson
We hired Reap to help stand up our Amazon store and grow our sales. We worked together for a few months and they improved our overall branding on Amazon and setup our advertising. Our experience with Reap has been good so far, and came highly recommended through the startup CPG community - with them having helped co-found the DFW CPG organization and also having taught the Winning In Ecommerce class in the SKU Accelerator program for brands like ours. The Reap team are great partners- they are highly strategic, metrics focused and very responsive. We have access to a number of resources that can give us strategic insights about our campaigns, to fighting case logs and keeping us instated, to more ecomm strategy help from their Chief Strategist, Jason Roussos.Because of the uniqueness of our product, we realize this requires a solution that isn't cookie cutter. We've been able to pivot and move pretty quickly as Reap is learning more about our industry and buyers. Each team member we've interacted with is professional and responsive. Overall, we're happy with the Reap team and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.
Jocelyn Payne Atkinson CEO at Dermaflage
5.0★
eCommerce Review from Jocelyn Payne Atkinson
We hired Reap to optimize our ecommerce website and strategy. We worked together for over a year and they improved all aspects of our digital marketing: SEO, conversion rate optimization, email marketing and UGC advertising on Meta. Reap recommended platform changes and then helped us make the smooth transition from WooCommerce to Shopify and from MailChimp to Klayvio. Moving to these platforms has been one of the best decisions we have made! The Reap team are truly great partners- they are highly strategic, metrics focused and very responsive. On top of all of that, they are just really good people and a pleasure to know.
Michael Freed President at Tanager Holdings, LLC
5.0★
eCommerce Review from Michael Freed
We have loved working with Reap. Knowledgeable, kind, efficient, creative - everything we needed to launch a company with 1 SKU and write a success story. Had it not been for regulatory issues beyond Reap's control, we would've exceeded our goal for 2024. Our group will continue to partner with Reap going forward. Strongly recommend!!!

I have worked with Echo Factory teams in a consulting and client capacity over the past several years. Echo has consistently provided us with excellent service, and top-tier expertise across digital, development and strategic projects. They created and expertly managed programs for me across paid media, website development, new channel and product launches and new market strategic endeavors. All of their team members work collaboratively to help deliver results as promised, on budget and on time. Their team-based approach to working with their clients helped me save money and provided us with access allowing us to work closely with their team as if they were part of our own organization. I highly recommend Echo Factory for business, digital marketing, strategy and media projects.

Every few years, I revaluate our marketing team and adjust based onour goals. When my business was at the point where we were ready and positioned for exponential 6 figure revenue growth in the next year - we located and started working with Echo Factory and boy did they deliver for us! Mike Schafer and his entire team were incredibly effective and supportive of us in reaching our goals. During our first year working with EF, we increased our gross revenue by $111,000 and marketing was a big part of that. Thank You, Echo Factory! We are grateful to have found you and are looking forward to a bright future.

I have worked in outreach efforts as a sort of spokesperson, with other firms and also R&R Partners and I have to say all the firms have been good and professional. R&R not only excelled there, but they were very helpful and encouraging when I was nervous.I am not a professional by a long shot, but they made me feel like one during the shoots. I have seen their work for the fundraising promotions they have done for many years for the hospital and clinic where I am a patient. Each year they keep raising the bar and I am honored that I got to work with them.The people I worked with have been with the firm for many years. In this day and age of technology, that is not common.Thank you for your work and how you continue to drive the fundraising for the ALS clinic and Barrow as a whole.

We have been working with Phase 3 for over 10 years. They have printed over 500 plaques for our Worldwide Daffodil Project. The creative support and customer service has been fantastic. Recently the number of sites participating in the Daffodil Project has grown significantly and coordinating printing and shipping was becoming an issue for us. This year we started using Phase 3's MediaLink system. It has been great. We have control over the ordering and are provided the tracking information. Using their large shipping account our cost of shipping is much lower. As we continue to grow it's great to have Phase 3/MediaLink as a partner in this effort.
