eCommerce Review from Anonymous
Right after launching our campaigns with Disruptive, we saw results almost instantly. Our monthly revenue jumped from about $50,000 to over $70,000. Every key Google Ads metric improved, and by November, we were already nearing $550,000 in revenue, well on track to hit our $700,000 annual goal.

We’ve been working with Disruptive on a long-term PPC strategy, and they’re constantly optimizing campaigns and landing pages based on performance. They use Google Analytics to ensure accurate tracking, Unbounce for landing page testing, and run ads through Google and LinkedIn, with knowledgeable experts for each channel.

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!

Social Media Marketing Review from David Sallee
Social Driver provided social media marketing workshops and advice for the departments on campus which were involved in social media marketing, such as alumni, athletics, and advancement.
Their staff provided in-depth instruction for all appropriate staff and follow-up conversations to support their work.
Social Driver has very strong technical skills. They also demonstrate a very high level of insight for applications of social media that go far beyond technical insights into human insights.

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!

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

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

Huge thank you to INDIWRAP for beautifully capturing our AKLA Chicago experience. Their team was thoughtful, creative, and wonderful with our students throughout the process.

Great experience working with Indirap for our video/photography for our business! Right from the start, they made us feel that they understood exactly what we needed and confident that they would seamlessly execute their plan. They were fun to work with throughout, asked for and accepted feedback during the editing process, and gave us the results we were hoping for. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience working with INDIRAP for event photography and video. Julian was incredibly professional and took the time to understand our shot list ahead of the event.
On-site, his team captured everything we asked for and more. They were friendly, organized, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we got the content we needed. Highly recommend working with them!

This company is a complete fraud and scam. Stole money from me and my mother. Kept telling me me to add money to my working account so I could withdraw what I earned. It never happens. You just keep adding money the keep upping the cost of actually getting your pay. STAY AWAY!!!PLEASE!!! COMPLETE SCAM. They use fake pics of who you are talking with. A COMPLETE MODERN DAY HUSTLE!!!
