Susan T Review from Google

Susan T's Review Sourced from Google
It was a pleasure working with PUREi on a new Catalog Design. What seemed like a daunting task (data to design), ended up being an enjoyable experience.I’m an Art Director for a company that manufactures thousands of products. We were searching for a Design Agency with database-to-design integration. After viewing the Catalog Design samples on the PUREi website (along with other Design, Video and Photography samples), I had no doubt that the finished product would look beautiful.From start to finish, the project went smoothly. Everyone at PUREi is a pleasure to work with; and using Trackfront, their project tracking tools, made workflow, communications, and approvals a breeze.In addition to being knowledgeable and communicative, their creative and technical staff, Sarah and Ben, did an outstanding job, delivering a well-organized and beautifully designed Catalog.I highly recommend PUREi for Catalog Design and all of your Creative and Marketing needs.

Aaron Cooper's Review Sourced from Google
My Institute created a collection of 16 short videos as part of a parent education project. I was initially reluctant to hire a "small town" production company with prices far more reasonable than the big city bids we received. But my expectations were exceeded in every way. Purei was so professional all across the board: production, editing, directing the actors--in every way they were superb (and I'm a very tough customer to please LOL). We were working during the constraints of the pandemic and they moved things forward beautifully and sensitively. I cannot sing their praises enough, and am keeping my fingers crossed that my organization will find the funds to do another project so I can use purei once again.

The Golf Clinic At TRUHealthDR's Review Sourced from Google
I cannot say enough good things about our marketing team! From the very beginning, they have gone above and beyond to truly understand us as a small business and connect with our unique needs. Their ability to foster personal relationships—not only with us but also with other local businesses—has been nothing short of amazing. These connections have helped us build a stronger presence in the community and opened doors we never thought possible.What truly sets them apart, though, is their constant communication. They keep us informed every step of the way, always making us feel like a priority. Whether it’s brainstorming new ideas, providing updates, or quickly addressing any concerns, their responsiveness and dedication are unmatched.Thanks to their hard work, we’ve seen tremendous growth and feel more confident than ever in our marketing efforts. If you’re looking for a team that combines professionalism, creativity, and a genuine personal touch, look no further. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for us!

Pamela Torrico's Review Sourced from Google
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.

Exceptional Service and Outstanding ResultsKathie and Mike at Absolute Motion Video exceeded all expectations in creating a TV commercial for our funeral home. Kathie worked tirelessly to develop a thoughtful and professional script, incorporating historic and current photographs of our funeral home, including the interior service areas and the exterior. They even included special “donut” shots to highlight our unique services, including our beloved therapy dog, Jake.On the day of filming, Kathie and Mike were patient, professional, and meticulous, ensuring every detail was perfect. The result was the best commercial we’ve ever had, beautifully showcasing our services and the care we provide to our community.I highly recommend Absolute Motion Video for any video or commercial needs. Their dedication and expertise are unmatched, and I will certainly continue to use their services in the future.Chris EcclestonA.L. Jacobsen Funeral Home

Mike is absolutely the best!! I run a small nonprofit and we have needed a range of videos over time - from time lapse to events to a training video. At each stage, Mike has been there to guide us and put together the most thoughtful, high quality videos that represent our brand and mission. He has integrated and update old material into new videos to keep our message fresh and relevant.

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
