  Our website didn't convey our value proposition & service offering. BS Marketing approached this problem quite strategically by interviewing past clients [and] internal stakeholders, doing tons of market research, and interviewing our partners to understand who we really are and what we really value as a company. They used these insights to redesign our website, our copy, our values, and our marketing, and we could not be happier! We have had many a compliment and are proud of what we deliver!
