Andy Blevins Chief Executive Officer at OutServe-SLDN (now Modern Military Association of America)
5.0★
Creative Services Review from Andy Blevins
Social Driver provided branding services for the merger of two national LGBTQ military & veteran nonprofits. They incorporated insight from two boards to produce a name, logo, and branding package. The deliverables have all earned high praise, with the logo and overall brand being versatile and simple. All deadlines were met and communication was a highlight. Their smooth and streamlined process helped us pull everything under the same umbrella to have a united front. I highly recommend them!

Web Design Review from Eileen Kessler
My company worked with Social Driver to redesign the UX/IA for a national scientific organization's extensive research resource that was moving from print to online. There was a tight deadline to conceptualize a new user experience and create a framework that our client could review iteratively. Our client was very pleased with the results of the new interactive framework and design. This design was used for the build of the web site which began immediately upon completion. Highly recommend!

Web Design Review from Christopher Calarco, D.C.
Our company had an excellent experience partnering with Jeremy and the 97 Switch team on our website and SEO. The initial build was on a tight timeline that was kept, and after the sites completion we saw a significant increase in new business coming our way. More medical professionals learned about us and wanted to join our network, which was an amazing bonus of working with 97 Switch. We've committed to work with 97 Switch for the next several years given they have been crucial in guiding our plan for growth.
Justyna Chrupek Office Manager at ECD Company

Web Design Review from Justyna Chrupek
We hired them to build a new website. The website was quickly completed in just a couple months, and weve seen markedly positive results from 97 Switchs efforts. It's a new marketing feature that we use on a daily basis. The improved quality has facilitated our communication and made things much easier. Weve received great feedback from our vendors, investors, and customers who want to view our properties. Internally, our staff is excited to see what's going on in our company. We are definitely proud of our new platform. Our executive team is excited to be featured on the new website; previously, they didn't even want their picture shown. Before this redesign, we were almost embarrassed to send out the link. Now, we can comfortably share it with our investors, potential investors, and landlords so they keep track of our updates on a monthly basis. We love how this site presents the face of our company.
Adam Greenberg President at Topicz
5.0★
Web Design Review from Adam Greenberg
We've seen tremendous growth and exposure. The website has generated a number of new leads and weve received tons of cold calls from potential clients. This is thanks to 97 Switchs efforts to increase our digital exposure. We communicate primarily via phone and email and theyre highly responsive. I receive a response to emails within minutes and they get back to me within half an hour if I request a phone call. They're able to conduct face-to-face interactions in order to truly understand the goals and business culture of their clients. This allowed them to create a design that accurately represented our brand. I've had nothing but positive experiences with 97 Switch and Id recommend them to anyone.

What I loved most about Brandit360 was the fact that they started with a plan and executed it. They took the time to get to know my business before starting the build process. The big bold text, intuitive navigation, high-key photos create a delightful experience for the website.

Integrated Marketing Review from Rebecca Hummer
When we set out looking for an integrated marketing partner almost ten years ago, we were not sure what to expect. Catalyst dove in to help us with social media and other outreach. Soon, they were deeply integrated into our team providing a wide range of support for both ongoing marketing tasks and more focused campaigns. Their unwavering dedication to our cause, communications insights and expertise have been transformative, consistently empowering our team to achieve results exceeding our internal resources and capabilities. If you're looking for an integrated marketing agency, I can't recommend them enough.

Digital Marketing Review from Emily Timothy
A competent, creative and technically savvy team of people who care about their clients. We were really happy with our experience working with Catalyst. They listened to what we wanted for our business and implemented it seamlessly. From the branding overhaul and clarity, to the design of our site, technical support and design for our digital product, and finally the digital marketing campaign - everything was done professionally and with great care for our vision. Highly recommend.

Branding Review from Michael Nelson, MBA
We've worked with Catalyst for about five years (on too many projects to count) and they are enormously talented. Our project team was built around our unique goals. The collaborative process tends to feel more personal than other agencies I've worked with because of it. Project management is very communicative and on point. Their strategy, creative, and technology teams are also well-staffed and comparable to the best I've ever worked with.

Adele Griffith's Review Sourced from Google
After considerable review of proposals from several firms/agencies, we kicked off our project with NEWMEDIA and we knew the project timeline was aggressive but realistic - which we liked very much. Midway (or about midway) we made a few changes, which prolonged the project timeline and the NEWMEDIA team handled it exceptionally.
