Lauren Maffei Johnson COO at BIZROK

WordPress Website Design Review from Lauren Maffei Johnson
Our company had such a wonderful experience with this team! Their design work is top-notch, and they did a really wonderful job of walking us through the process, but also finding ways to go above and beyond with things we needed additional help with, such as connecting Google Analytics. Highly recommend and would use again.

Anonymous Owner at Keed Edu

Web Design Review from Anonymous
I'm sure I was one of the more challenging customers Doodle N Dash has worked with. As a senior with limited tech experience, Mo had to guide me through a great deal. I'm certain I tested his patience on more than a few occasions, but he always answered my questions — sometimes more than once — and returned my calls and texts promptly.

Shane and Mo were fantastic. They blended my ideas with their own professional design expertise into an incredible website - all at a very reasonable price. Communication was quick and updates were completed faster than I could review them.

Nicole Ettenhofer's Review Sourced from Google
Mekky Media is more than just a PR firm—they are dedicated partners committed to our success. Their deep understanding of our business needs and objectives, along with their collaborative approach, resulted in over 2 million media impressions within eight months. With placements in top industry publications and national media, they exceeded expectations. The team was hands-on from the strategic planning phase through the execution of each pitch, bringing expertise and enthusiasm to every step. I would recommend Michelle, Rachel, and the entire Mekky Media team to any organization looking for an effective and engaging PR partnership.

Austin Taylor's Review Sourced from Google
We could not have asked for a better partner in helping lead the charge on all things PR when it came to our company expanding to a brand new market (our first time doing so, at that).From start to finish, the Mekky Media team was on top of it. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the entire process and launch incredibly smooth. In addition to a talented team, they have deep roots in and connections across the industry, which only enhanced the impressive level of awareness they were already generating for us.I highly recommend Michelle and her team, as do my colleagues at Workbox. We can't wait to work with them again!

My agency, LEO + LAINE, has partnered with Mekky Media to help transform their client's brand photography & social media content for years. Michelle and her team have been amazing partners and advocates for supporting all types of unique businesses. Their proven skills on the PR side make a massive difference in brand awareness, positive publicity and media relations overall. They recognize the need to not only build strong agency partners, but media partners as well, and put a major emphasis on building connections. Definitely one of the best in the biz!

I have been working with Jason and his team for over a year and a half and I would highly recommend them. They give highly personalized attention and provide tangible results which is something we haven't really found in any other PR agency over the years. They are great listeners and idea agents - but also very effective at getting things done.
