Digital Marketing Review from Joshua Green
Since partnering with MONSOON, we’ve seen a significant improvement in both efficiency and performance, including a 60% reduction in Google Ads costs and a 70% increase in lead volume. What started as support for search advertising gradually developed into a broader consulting partnership, where their expertise helped guide better business and marketing decisions. The team maintained strong communication throughout the engagement, providing regular updates, detailed reports, and a highly collaborative working style. Their dedication, flexibility, and genuine commitment to achieving results made them stand out from other agencies we’ve worked with.

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

We at Murphy Wallbeds Chicago could not be happier with the job that Crux Creative has done with our website. Their attention to detail in both design and maintenance is second to none. Michele Allen has gone above and beyond for us, creating a intuitive and attractive site and responding to any issue we have immediately. If you are looking to create a website, Crux Creative is the firm to use.
