Digital Services Review from Paloma Anguiano
Overall I feel very confident working with Patrizia and Darius from Smart Site, they have given us clear explanations and accompanied us throughout the process for the growth of the brand. The attention to us is very fast and they advise us in an adequate way.
Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter
SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.
PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

Public Relations Review from Monika Štěpánová
Im extremely satisfied with the cooperation. The team was kind and professional, communication was fast and seamless. I would definitely recommend!
Public Relations Review from Viktor Bálint
Despite the extremely short timeframe and complexity of the project, Enterie team has done an excellent job preparing a cross-European communications plan and executing it. They coordinated our merger communication on 8 markets, helping us to secure 130+ publications in two months.The agency approached the project of communicating our news a merger of the two leading EduTech companies in CEE that resulted in the formation of one of the biggest powerhouses of digital skills in Europe in a unique way. First, they prepared one central press release (template) and managed to coordinate the creation of all the local versions. Then, Enterie very well coordinated the distribution of the news in 8 different countries. Finally, they started pitching to journalists with exclusives, proposing interviews, articles and thought-leadership pieces by our C-level executives. The angles of communication were genuinely customized for different kinds of outlets HR, business, and startup ones. Special kudos to Ranbir, the person in charge of this part of the project, who would motivate us to stay proactive in the sphere of media relations.
Public Relations Review from Maja Wiśniewska-Hardek
We came to Enterie with the need to find local communication partners who would help SMSAPI enter the Italian, Spanish, French and German markets.We wanted to cooperate with agencies that would advise us not only on the specifics of PR in a given country, but also on economic trends, consumer behavior and the cultural localisation of the product we offer.I can confidently say that after several months of cooperation with local teams, their efforts have become an irreplaceable help in taking the first steps in these countries. It is worth emphasizing the professional approach of Enterie at the stage of briefing and setting communication goals.Thanks to PR activities, we noticed a significant increase in referral visits to local language versions of SMSAPI and improved visibility in organic search results in a short time. Importantly, thanks to regular positioning in local media, we have gained many qualitative publications that directly influenced the recognition of SMSAPI brand in European countries, which quickly became visible in brand searches.It is also worth saying that each of the agencies associated in Enterie is characterized by high professionalism and an understanding of the needs of the tech customer.

Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette
I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

Content Marketing Review from Mckenzie Ycmat
I've worked with Siege since 2016, and there's a reason I've brought them with me to nearly every company I've joined since. I've partnered with a lot of agencies over the years, but Siege consistently stands out because they don't just execute SEO tactics, they become an extension of your team. They take the time to understand your business, collaborate across marketing, and build content strategies that actually drive measurable results. One of the things I appreciate most is how proactive they are. They bring ideas to the table, back recommendations with data, and genuinely care about long-term growth rather than chasing quick wins. The impact they've had on my career has been significant. At multiple companies, their work has helped us grow organic traffic, strengthen our content strategy, and prove the value of marketing initiatives. They're one of the few partners I've trusted enough to advocate for repeatedly, including making sure I could continue working with them after changing jobs. The fact that I've spent nearly a decade recommending Siege internally says everything. They're one of those rare agencies that consistently exceed expectations, and I'd recommend them without hesitation to any marketing team looking for a true strategic partner.

Winger's communication and collaboration in supporting HSG Advisors has always been a key part of the relationship as HSG has evolved greatly over the past 10 years, and even more significantly in the past 2-3. Winger has been there throughout the entire process to support day-to-day management, how to plan for upcoming market shifts we need to respond to, and meeting our team where we were throughout the entire process. I would recommend Winger to anyone looking for 3rd party support to execute their marketing initiatives.

From day one, Karol, Morgan and the entire team have demonstrated exceptional professionalism, strong communication, and a genuine commitment to understanding our goals.What stands out most is their customer care. They don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach — they take the time to listen, adjust, and build strategies that actually align with your business needs. They are flexible, responsive, and proactive in their recommendations.As a business owner, having a marketing partner you can trust is critical. I am extremely pleased with our partnership and highly recommend Proceed Innovative to anyone serious about strengthening their digital presence.Solid team. Solid results. Highly recommend.

Mark Faris's Review Sourced from Google
Super knowledgeable and one of the strongest marketers I’ve seen. As an entrepreneur, I found Danny’s perspective on marketing incredibly valuable. He has a unique way of connecting business strategy with creative execution, which is exactly what growing companies need. His recommendations were insightful and tailored to real-world challenges that business owners face every day. It’s clear Danny not only has deep marketing expertise but also understands what drives growth for entrepreneurs. I’d strongly recommend working with him and his agency.
Stephanie Paquette's Review Sourced from Google
Danny brings a rare mix of creativity and execution. He has a clear ability to simplify complex marketing strategies and make them actionable. From our conversation, it’s obvious he knows how to drive real results and genuinely cares about helping businesses grow. Highly recommend working with him and DS&P.
Brandon Taylor's Review Sourced from Google
I had a good product but wasn’t sure how to get it in front of the right people. Found this marketing consultant and they helped me build a plan that actually made sense. They reviewed my branding, updated my messaging and helped with targeting. Within a month I started seeing more traffic and sales. They explained stuff clearly and didn’t make it sound like rocket science. Only downside is I wish I found them sooner. If you’re stuck with marketing and feel like nothing is working this is who to talk to. Clear advice and real results.

We hired Dart Marketing for a campaign. They listened, asked good questions, and didn’t overcomplicate things. The first drafts were close, the revisions were quick, and the final ads actually worked, we saw more leads in week one than we expected. Easy team to work with, zero drama.
Neha Irfan's Review Sourced from Google
We worked with Dart Marketing on a CGI and 3D animation project for two of our key product launches, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The quality of the visuals they delivered exceeded our expectations - incredibly detailed, realistic, and perfectly aligned with our brand’s vision.The team was not only creative and technically skilled, but also highly professional throughout the entire process. Communication was smooth, timelines were respected, and every revision was handled with care and efficiency.Highly recommend them for any brand looking to make a strong visual impact.

Working with 1905 New Media has been a positive and professional experience. Their team brings strong creative and technical skills to the table and helped us serve our mission over the years more clearly.

We’re grateful for their support and would recommend them to others looking for solid, mission-minded media support.
Matt Granados's Review Sourced from Google
We’ve been searching for a strong marketing and PR firm for quite some time, and working with 1905 New Media has truly been a blessing. Their diligence, focus, and the ability to get us where we need to be has been a critical piece of our strategy that we’ve been missing. We haven’t found anyone else who can do it as well as they do.1905 New Media has become a key part of our long-term strategy, and there’s no question about why we’ll continue working with them. When you find a firm that is so reliable and effective, it’s a no-brainer to stick with them.If there were six stars, I would gladly give them. The ability to drive impact, regardless of industry or organizational structure, is truly amazing. We are incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for both our for-profit business and our foundation.I can tell you clearly, every single time I’ve worked with 1905 New Media, they have been above board and completely transparent.My goal when selecting a partner isn’t to find someone who’s perfect and never misses anything. I’m looking for a firm that takes responsibility and delivers the results they commit to. In the PR and marketing world, everyone promises results, but few can actually get them. 1905 New Media gets them every time.Highly recommend 1905 New Media for anyone looking for top-notch marketing and PR expertise!

Nicole Ettenhofer's Review Sourced from Google
Mekky Media is more than just a PR firm—they are dedicated partners committed to our success. Their deep understanding of our business needs and objectives, along with their collaborative approach, resulted in over 2 million media impressions within eight months. With placements in top industry publications and national media, they exceeded expectations. The team was hands-on from the strategic planning phase through the execution of each pitch, bringing expertise and enthusiasm to every step. I would recommend Michelle, Rachel, and the entire Mekky Media team to any organization looking for an effective and engaging PR partnership.
Austin Taylor's Review Sourced from Google
We could not have asked for a better partner in helping lead the charge on all things PR when it came to our company expanding to a brand new market (our first time doing so, at that).From start to finish, the Mekky Media team was on top of it. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the entire process and launch incredibly smooth. In addition to a talented team, they have deep roots in and connections across the industry, which only enhanced the impressive level of awareness they were already generating for us.I highly recommend Michelle and her team, as do my colleagues at Workbox. We can't wait to work with them again!
Lynzee Krohne's Review Sourced from Google
My agency, LEO + LAINE, has partnered with Mekky Media to help transform their client's brand photography & social media content for years. Michelle and her team have been amazing partners and advocates for supporting all types of unique businesses. Their proven skills on the PR side make a massive difference in brand awareness, positive publicity and media relations overall. They recognize the need to not only build strong agency partners, but media partners as well, and put a major emphasis on building connections. Definitely one of the best in the biz!
