Deb DeFreeuw's Review Sourced from Google
TEC Direct Media has helped us on several projects, and has been instrumental in helping our agency "learn the ropes" about programmatic and all things digital. We're always learning new things about digital for our clients, and TEC Direct has always been there when we have a question. They have helped us on two projects in 2016, and each of those were successful and those clients will continue with us in 2017. We consider TEC Direct a strategic partner. D. DeFreeuw, President, Force 5

t::t has been a solid partner for us as we work to transform our digital presence. They have provided valuable strategic insights and their communication has been consistently prompt. I'd like to particularly call out James, Joe, and Xavier for their excellent work during our engagements. Thanks t::t team for being an excellent partner!

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!

Horrible place. The owner is classless, disrespectful and tacky. Do not go to this agency. If I were to rate zero stars I would.

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.

Michele Allen has gone above and beyond for us, creating a intuitive and attractive site and responding to any issue we have immediately.
