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.

I wasn't sure who to use for SEO services. I had another agency build my website a couple of years ago and it suddenly stopped ranking on Google. Talked to Gareth and got a few good pointers. Since then, they've optimised some shop pages and we've gotten top 3 rankings for some terms. Game changer!

I hired Power Up to produce an online event that I was holding and the experience was perfection. They brought so much experience and insight to the planning and execution of the project. The questions that they asked, the suggestions that they made, and the support that they offered allowed me to account for details that would not have occurred to me and to feel confident that all the details were covered. We held the event online and filmed at their studio. The resulting video is a fantastic asset. The experience for those who attended live was seamless and smooth. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism and their work. I will be hiring them again.

From the first time I video chatted with Amy, I knew she was detail-oriented, cared about why we needed the AV services, and was extremely easy to talk to. Power Up made it easy for me to facilitate between who needed to be filmed for our event and they handled all the filming and splicing. The best part was that the night of the event, I could sit back and relax and actually enjoy the show. Thank you to the Power Up team!!
