      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.

      I have been working with Jason and his team for over a year and a half and I would highly recommend them. They give highly personalized attention and provide tangible results which is something we haven't really found in any other PR agency over the years. They are great listeners and idea agents - but also very effective at getting things done.

      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!

      Our company recently worked on creating a new website with Iceberg Web Design and they are wonderful to work with. From the first contact with the sales department to the final launch of our site they were always in contact with us and kept us informed about the process and progress. I would recommend them to every business owner I know. They educated us on how websites work and did everything they could to make this as easy as possible. They went out of their way to make sure that every detail was exactly as we wanted it. Very professional, and responsive to our needs.
