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.

Joseph Richards's Review Sourced from Google
This is a marketing company that has taken a couple of my website ideas from concept to completion. They are also handling a modest click ad budget for us. I have been impressed with their growth and team expertise with regard to web design and connections to other local SEO resources, so much so that I have let go of a couple of companies that I have worked with who did not have the same personal touch. As both a consumer and a business owner, I know that some of our requirements have seemed demanding, but I trust this company to get straight to the point with advice based on experience. Saves me time and money, so I will continue to do business with Matt and FWD Marketing because I know that they have my best interests at heart.

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.

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.

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.
