Integrated Marketing Review from Rebecca Hummer
When we set out looking for an integrated marketing partner almost ten years ago, we were not sure what to expect. Catalyst dove in to help us with social media and other outreach. Soon, they were deeply integrated into our team providing a wide range of support for both ongoing marketing tasks and more focused campaigns. Their unwavering dedication to our cause, communications insights and expertise have been transformative, consistently empowering our team to achieve results exceeding our internal resources and capabilities. If you're looking for an integrated marketing agency, I can't recommend them enough.
Digital Marketing Review from Emily Timothy
A competent, creative and technically savvy team of people who care about their clients. We were really happy with our experience working with Catalyst. They listened to what we wanted for our business and implemented it seamlessly. From the branding overhaul and clarity, to the design of our site, technical support and design for our digital product, and finally the digital marketing campaign - everything was done professionally and with great care for our vision. Highly recommend.
Branding Review from Michael Nelson, MBA
We've worked with Catalyst for about five years (on too many projects to count) and they are enormously talented. Our project team was built around our unique goals. The collaborative process tends to feel more personal than other agencies I've worked with because of it. Project management is very communicative and on point. Their strategy, creative, and technology teams are also well-staffed and comparable to the best I've ever worked with.

Aquila Mendez-Valdez's Review Sourced from Google
FMS was extremely helpful with the process of franchising my business. Even though my industry is not a typical one for franchising, they believed in my vision 100% and have walked me every step of the way since then to help whenever I've needed them. Our vision for franchising isn't rapid scaling or bulk franchisee signings, but they've been happy to go at my pace and I would highly recommend their services!
Kevin McKerley's Review Sourced from Google
FMS is extremely knowledgeable about franchising and their team has very talented coaches setting companies up for success and growth. If you want to scale your company, FMS will most definitely help you. We first worked with Chris and FMS back in 2019 and felt like family then and we still feel like family today

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!
James Fashing's Review Sourced from Google
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
Swetha Siripurapu's Review Sourced from Google
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

Susan T's Review Sourced from Google
It was a pleasure working with PUREi on a new Catalog Design. What seemed like a daunting task (data to design), ended up being an enjoyable experience.I’m an Art Director for a company that manufactures thousands of products. We were searching for a Design Agency with database-to-design integration. After viewing the Catalog Design samples on the PUREi website (along with other Design, Video and Photography samples), I had no doubt that the finished product would look beautiful.From start to finish, the project went smoothly. Everyone at PUREi is a pleasure to work with; and using Trackfront, their project tracking tools, made workflow, communications, and approvals a breeze.In addition to being knowledgeable and communicative, their creative and technical staff, Sarah and Ben, did an outstanding job, delivering a well-organized and beautifully designed Catalog.I highly recommend PUREi for Catalog Design and all of your Creative and Marketing needs.
Aaron Cooper's Review Sourced from Google
My Institute created a collection of 16 short videos as part of a parent education project. I was initially reluctant to hire a "small town" production company with prices far more reasonable than the big city bids we received. But my expectations were exceeded in every way. Purei was so professional all across the board: production, editing, directing the actors--in every way they were superb (and I'm a very tough customer to please LOL). We were working during the constraints of the pandemic and they moved things forward beautifully and sensitively. I cannot sing their praises enough, and am keeping my fingers crossed that my organization will find the funds to do another project so I can use purei once again.

I've worked with PUREi at two different companies and have been impressed with both the quality of work and the value.

Vendor Review:We had the pleasure of working with the team from Big Shoulders Digital Video Productions at a recent event. Everyone we came in contact with—Dave, Fletcher, and John—was easy to work with, pleasant to interact with, and clearly knowledgeable in their craft. They walked us through everything we needed to know and made sure our end client was happy.Highly recommend!

The TruFocus team are experts in every sense. From lighting, sound, video and most importantly on-site guidance they have produced great results and working with them has been a pleasure.
Christen Dominguez's Review Sourced from Google
Working with TruFocus has been an amazing experience. Chris and Andy were fantastic during our recent video shoot—super professional and fun to work with, which made the whole process a breeze (even with a few interruptions by the family dogs). Jeff has been incredibly patient through several rounds of questions, indecision, and edits, ensuring every detail is perfect.Their commitment to quality and collaboration really stands out. They’re not just great at what they do—they’re genuinely great people to work with, and I’m excited to take advantage of their beautiful and flexible space in the future. TruFocus truly makes the entire process seamless and enjoyable.Can’t wait for the next project with Chris and his fantastic team!
