      Web Development Review from Theo L. Cramer, Ed.D.

      As a newly established educational non-profit, we needed full support--website development, a logo, branding, email, etc. We could not have found a better partner than New Target, Inc. They are the consummate professionals. They were fully present and always available for questions and feedback. We were always included in the design process. The New Target, Inc. team was always attentive, they offered great recommendations, they listened, and they made us feel valued throughout the entire process. We look forward to a long relationship with their team. We highly recommend the talented staff at New Target, Inc. to any organization needing digital support. New Target, Inc. is a first-rate company.

      Web Design Review from David Dumas

      We have been working with New Target over 5 years ago and have been extremely happy with the services they have provided. We selected them to redesign our Drupal website and then provide ongoing support related to design, development, and hosting. Some of requirements of the redesign project included: a multi-program registration portal, integration with 3rd party systems (QuickBooks, Salesforce, payment platforms), merging content/users from a second website into our main one, and redeveloping a custom test scoring and reporting tool used by volunteers. Our website is utilized by several distinct constituent groups, and addressing their very different needs often requires complex functionality and workflows. Their team has been excellent at navigating these challenges and implementing systems that satisfy user requirements. It has been a great experience partnering with New Target, and I would highly recommend them to others.

      Digital Strategy Review from Meara Cummings

      We've had a fantastic experience working with the New Target team so far in our rebranding project. This is the first formal rebrand in the organizations history, so it was critical to get it right. From day one, Hannah (account manager) and Rachel (lead designer) brought a thoughtful, collaborative, and incredibly well-structured approach to the process. They have worked seamlessly with our rebrand committee, balancing creative exploration with clear communication and deadlines that kept us moving forward. After this strategic and thoughtful approach has resulted in a modern new logo and comprehensive brand guidelines that truly capture the spirit of the association. We are so grateful for their partnership and would highly recommend New Target to any organization looking for a creative / digital partner!

      Video Production Review from Dara Trent

      We had the need for a marketing promo video, a more technical explainer, and also a webinar stinger for our launch webinar series. They started with an outline phase which is a great opportunity to get feedback from other stakeholders before diving into the production. What this meant for us is that when production started it moved really quickly.

      Eddie B's Review Sourced from Google

      Extremely disappointing experience. I hired Starke Marketing to run my marketing campaigns. Over two months later, I’ve received no deliverables, no active campaigns, and no response to multiple emails or phone calls. Missed key sales periods like Memorial Day without any explanation or action. I ultimately had to terminate the relationship and request a full refund. No Refund was processed. If you value your time and business momentum, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This company overpromises and severely underdelivers.

      Starke Marketing built a new website, and integrated a Woo Commerce shopping cart for us. I couldn't be happier with the results, the website is everything we could of hoped for and more. Richard and the team were a huge help in getting everything up and running for us, and Leah kept us informed through every step. I highly recommend Starke Marketing for any website or marketing needs, as they do a fantastic job, while treating you like family!

      The entire team at Starke is fabulous! Richard & his team built our website & we liked them so much that we are using Starke for our marketing as well. Richard delivered a website that was everything we wanted. He answered every single one of our million questions. He never ran out of patience & he & his team have a wealth of knowledge & experience. The marketing team is equally fabulous. You won’t find a better group of people to work with. Thank you Starke Marketing!!
