Amy contracted me to do marketing work on her business, and her side business B'alam Candles, and…read moreseemingly has no plans to pay me. Her invoice is several months overdue. She was demanding during the terms of the contract, wanting tasks to be actioned immediately, and often asking responsibilities that extended beyond the contract's scope. However, when the time came to pay, she actually had the nerve to negotiate the rate down because "I didn't stick to the scope of the contract." ...right. I was stupid, and just wanted the conversation to be wrapped and for me to see SOME money before Christmas, so I discounted the contract by 50%. She still proceeded to "ghost" my follow-ups for payment, taking several weeks to respond to a string of follow-ups and always with an e-mail that provides no solution and grants her another few weeks to ghost. It has now been about 5 months since I first invoiced her, and I've given up. All I can do is give her a bad rating on various platforms. The amount is negligible and I don't want to bother going to a small claims court for it, but the premise and her ethics is what sticks out to me. If I can warn other contractors and labourers to avoid working with Amy, I will.

My company hired Josie to redesign our logo and branding elements.

Every idea or proof she provides is so professional, and it's clear that she puts an enormous amount of time and energy into preparing it. We've been very indecisive during this process, and Josie has been so patient with us. I'm really thankful she stuck with us, because the finished product (our new logo, branding elements, business cards, and letterhead) is awesome! We will keep coming back to Josie for all our design needs!

After evaluating my goals with the 3-Keys team it was clear where I was and what I needed to do to push my business where I wanted it to go. The 3-Keys team created a dynamite newsletter from scratch, I sent it out to all of my contacts (roughly 900 at the moment). I received over a 100 phone calls and emails in response to the newsletter. The most exciting part is that out of those phone calls and emails I have two new buyers and one new listing. All of my expectations have been exceeded!! Thank you 3-Keys

Lisa's approach is direct & hands-on and she is intuitive and a strong listener. We spent about 35 minutes tossing ideas around (until one clicked). I told her about my industry, and she jumped right in. She had many good ideas and then the particular one that landed well with me. She had to repeat it for it to sink in, but once it did, I was hooked. The idea is not one of overnight success, but rather of cultivating professional relationships & building a network. It will be different for your business I am sure. Anyhow, I am excited with the plan and it is more simple, unique & brilliant then I can state here as she is drawing from proven market research (applied in most cases) in which other companies have already demonstrated success. Lisa is the right combination of smart, thoughtful, calm, techy/contemporary & humane to help people thrive in the competitive marketplace in which we all live. Will be meeting with Lisa again soon. Good luck in your business endeavors.

I am a bit conflicted in writing this review because on the one hand Brandora is superb and does…read moreexcellent work for us, but on the other hand I want to selfishly keep them all to myself. But that's not right, so... To start with they are professional and have an excellent design team. We had them get us started with our social media, which turned into website design, which turned into photo shoots of our product, which turned into developing a catalog and brochure, which turned into a media package for Steve Harvey, which turned into a design wrap for our van, which turned into a design wrap for our tradeshow booth, and which has turned into them helping with our RFP to submit a multi-million dollar bid to the airport. So Brandora has helped us develop our business in so many ways. Their customer service is the best and Adele is very responsive. We love the excellent quality of their work which is why we return to them again and again. So even though I want to be selfish I have to say I love them and know when you have them work on a project you'll love them too. Thanks Brandora!
