Digital Marketing Review from Lucy Saint-Antonin
I really enjoyed working with the Codedesign team. They have a very methodical approach, first analysing and understanding business needs and then proposing the most appropriate strategy to meet those needs. They were very responsive throughout the digital project that we worked on with them, and demonstrated strong expertise on topics such as Google and Meta ads, and SEO strategy, helping us to increase traffic and conversions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any project requiring digital marketing expertise.

Digital Marketing Review from Rita Corrêa Mendes
I chose to work with Code Design on the launch of Grupo Hug because I believe they possess essential characteristics that are extremely important to me in a digital agency: team qualitification, digital expertise, credibility, client results orientation, a holistic digital approach always with an interest in going beyond a simple objectives briefing. They are very responsive and collaborative, and we have a fluid and transparent communication. They are available, always seeking to meet our needs reactively but also proactively.

Olena Ruth Review from Google
5.0★
Olena Ruth's Review Sourced from Google
My friend recommended StudioSix to me as a creative, innovative, and reliable company. “You will love them,” my friend said, and she was right. I never thought of branding until I opened my law firm and read about the importance of developing a brand for any business. I was nervous about an initial meeting with StudioSix’s creative team, Traci and Krzysztof, but they made our meeting easy and fun. But, most importantly, the result of the discovery session impressed me even more.StudioSix’s team skillfully led me through a discovery process, designed a wide range of thoughtful and appealing logos to choose from, gave excellent advice on how to improve my initial ideas, recommended further steps for advertising my firm, and developed numerous advertisement products. I highly recommend StudioSix to anybody looking into creating a brand for their business by professional, creative, and attentive experts.

Jennifer Krieger's Review Sourced from Google
The City of Dacono began working with Studio Six in 2016 to create a marketing, branding, and community outreach program. The goals for this project were to change local perceptions and enhance the regional image of the community. The City lacked a coordinated communication and outreach strategy and did not have an active social media presence that engaged residents. As a community looking to grow, the City needed professional assistance telling the community’s story in a way that was appealing to future residents.Studio Six has developed logos, outreach materials, website content, photography, videos, signage, and a custom marketing campaign for the City of Dacono. All the products and content have been high quality and authentic to the City of Dacono. Studio Six is now assisting the City identify barriers to participation and designing materials to create a more inclusive community outreach program. With assistance from Studio Six, the City will develop strategies to generate increased interest, involvement, and access to government services.Traci is creative, has a fantastic eye for detail, and brings high standards to her work. Traci and her staff regularly attend Dacono events to understand the community better and offer creative ideas and feedback. She is engaging, and the personalized attention is one of her great strengths and what makes Studio Six unique.Working with Studio Six for more than five years has brought results and transformed the City’s ability to communicate with residents and project a fresh, professional image of the community. The City has successfully created stronger community connections and meaningful engagement opportunities with residents. Most importantly, the City can quantify the benefits from working with Studio Six. Attendance is up at every community-sponsored event, and social media analytics further support that the City’s outreach efforts are working.

Michael Koch's Review Sourced from Google
WOW! IMPRESSED! I was the Transit Manager for The Lift public transit system in Winter Park (CO) and had been tasked with creating a brand for the system and had a short timeframe to create and launch the brand. This was a huge undertaking and I'm no designer, so I hired Studio Six and could not have been more pleased. Studio Six's Creative Director, Traci, made it a fun and exciting process! Traci and her team worked effortlessly with community leaders and elected officials to include a brand that is now a community favorite! Not only were they able to create the brand, but they developed a family of marketing materials (maps, brochures, flyers, etc) to accompany the roll-out of the brand. Receiving such a quality product and launch everything on-time and on-budget was impressive. The branding campaign was so successful that to this day The Lift still uses them to create fun and exciting campaigns for the system.Traci had a fun, detailed, and professional approach on the project that made it an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend Studio Six to anyone that is looking to have a beautiful, detailed, and creative brand associated with their agency!! I wish I could give a 10 star review!

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.

Kandy Kane's Review Sourced from Google
Staff does not always listen to client need. Put ego ahead of all else. A few specific people are so interested in being right they can not see their experience is limited and there is a lot to learn about the client and the client’s needs. Limited experience and expertise in some staff but clients may have a need for help with certain tasks and then have to deal with the egos and know it all attitude of the staff. Social media is not rocket science. Consider using a scheduling application or option and looking online for some ideas. Save money and headache.

Just took a walk and Google prompted me to leave a comment:Alright, Google, let’s check out their website!Exploring CAYK Marketing in Calgary... let’s see what they’re all about:As someone who works in digital strategy, graphic design, and UX/UI, I think they’re doing a solid job.Their website is clean and easy to use. It’s clear what services they offer, and they explain things in a way that’s simple to understand. I like that they focus on long-term strategy and real results, not just short-term fixes.From a design point of view, everything looks professional, but I think they could take more creative risks to really stand out. A few more interactive elements or bold visuals could make the experience even better.Overall, CAYK seems like a smart and reliable agency. If you’re a business looking to grow online, they’re definitely worth a look.P.S. If you enjoy a beer, there’s a spot right across the street. I like that idea!PauloBrand Strategist,Graphic Designer
