Digital Marketing Review from Rebecca Zeni

Digital Marketing Review from Paul Litardo
Motion PR has a great staff and a great leader in Kim Eberl. My experience the past several months have been great. I recommend Motion PR to everyone.
Rita Dragonette CEO at Undisclosed
5.0★
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.

Adele Griffith Review from Google

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.

James Fashing's Review Sourced from Google
We've worked with Thunder::tech to replace our cooperative's website. They have delivered as promised and more than expected in a professional and timely manner. Their team members are creative, technical and professional experts. We're looking forward to working on a second phase of the project with them starting soon. T::T is big enough a agency that they have multiple experts on the team with overlapping knowledge to get the job done, but not such a huge company where one might get lost as a client. As a web and digital media pro with 20+ years of experience, I recommend Thunder::tech. - JF

Swetha Siripurapu's Review Sourced from Google
The most horrible people! They are very reckless, don’t show up to appointments. Not once, not twice but thrice. You call to ask they dodge your calls.Don’t expect call backs. I went to Derek and texted him several times about this and asked to call. Nothing! Figured a month would be long enough. Don’t waste your time on these people

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.
Michael Nelson, MBA Director at bLoyal
5.0★
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.

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.

Crux Creative and Michele have been a key partner and vendor for my business for 10+ years. Michele cares for all our publicity and advertising needs, including printed pieces. Recently, she completed a new website on budget and on time. We are thrilled with the finish design and functionality. She has an expert eye for design and has been very effective in helping us to manage to a tight marketing budget. I highly recommend Crux Creative.
