I own a fitness studio in San Francisco, which requires constant marketing. We used to market on an…read moreas-needed basis, not strategically, and our business wasn't as profitable as we knew it could be. I was looking for someone to help us establish a brand image/strategy that excited people to join. Bryce encouraged us get to know our clients more than on a surface-level before our first meeting, which has turned out to be the foundation for every business decision we've made since then. Bryce is methodical in his work -- giving us spreadsheets, handouts and homework. He's a great teacher in that he asked us questions (instead of lecturing) so we could arrive to the best marketing decisions on our own. Our sales are more than DOUBLE what they were this time last year, thanks to Bryce!! I could go on and on about everything I've learned from this invaluable experience. If you love working on your business and watching it grow, your time with Bryce will be worth every minute. It's exciting, thought-provoking and most importantly he helped us make a lot more money than we thought possible in such a short amount time!!!

Our Mother's Day Run for Shelter was fast approaching. It is our only fundraising event of the…read moreyear. When I met Bryce at a Pajaro Valley Chamber Mixer, I knew that our sponsorship package needed some attention...some updating. I'm an Executive Director...not a marketing/advertising specialist. When we first met at the mixer, I could immediately tell that Bryce's experience working with community based organizations and with for-profit companies was going to be a benefit to my agency's needs. His calm and welcoming personality is the final attribute that made me take action and contact him. During our initial meeting, we met all of our goals of the session. Afterwards, on several occasions, he gave in-depth follow-up advice. He provided easy-to-implement tips as well as guidance for new and potential opportunities. I deeply appreciate Bryce's consultation on our outreach materials. I feel more confident in presenting our sponsorship packet and in making a request to companies and individuals for support of our mission. We have several new sponsors so far. I believe that our easier-to-read and more relevant packet has allowed us to engage more efficiently. As my agency expands its opportunities to further engage OUR community towards ending homelessness, I will definitely work with Bryce again. We have a champion in Bryce...and I'm more confident in our messaging, sponsorship materials and strategy. I recommend Bryce, for his skills, integrity, enthusiasm, patience and timeliness, amongst other things...like results!

He listens to your needs as an employee and ensures you successfully fit into an environment that is symbiotic with an employer. Lisa Sullivan, then the account representative at Cisco, touched base regularly to ensure I was getting along well. The Armada Group ensured their employees were rewarded when recognized by their clients. I can tell you that they are very generous with their rewards. Years after my engagement there at Cisco, Lisa and Jeff have still maintained contact. What is not to love about that?

I needed an out of my previous job and Armada has been there every step of the way to help me prep for the interviews and get this amazing job that I wanted!!! Everyone at my job has been amazing and it was an excellent fit! I love where I am and it's all thanks to Armada for making the transition so seamless. Alexsis Navarro and Shelley Baca are both amazing. Alexsis is my main contact, helped me prep for my interviews and set them up (all 3 of them within a week), then she checks in with me every once in awhile (after I started working) to make sure all is well. While Shelley is my go-to HR/ Paycheck girl. They've got my back and it's awesome. Thank you so much!!! I've already been recommending Armada to my friends, family, and colleagues. They are seriously the most helpful group ever! :)

Ed is a life saver! For months I tried creating a website…read moreusing wordpress but I was beyond frustrated. I had designed sites before but Wordpress was a new language for me and I kept bumping up against walls and could not make progress because I did not have enough knowledge to make forward movement. I needed help! So finally I called Ed and it was the best choice I ever made. I've known Ed for a long time and he has always been enthusiastic about sharing valuable information about the technology that i use in my life. He genuinely loves to help and share from the broad knowledge base he has accrued. Even though I live on the east coast, Ed is in California, he was able to work with me via computer and guide me in the right direction. During our meetings, Ed is able to access and manipulate my computer. The template I had originally chosen was a bad choice so he pointed me in the direction of a practical template that he had already researched extensively. Once I loaded it he walked me through the online tutorials and demonstrated aspects of the template so that I could continue working on my own. He's articulate and thorough, and also very mindful of time and budget. Our meetings usually last 1 to 1.5 hours. After the first meeting I was able to work on my own for a week and make forward progress. I kept track of my questions for our next session, though he let me know I could contact him at any time with questions that come up. He is willing to research my specific needs that go beyond the basic template. Between sessions he sent me a list of plugins that I would need and walked me through them. His pace is fast and he delivers information in a clear and thorough manner. He is also willing to help with aesthetic advice, letting me know about the latest trends in web design. I feel so relieved and blessed because finally I feel secure that my site will be up to date and effective in ways I did not foresee. It's exciting now as I forge ahead knowing I have Ed on my team. It's clear that he is committed to my being satisfied and working at a pace that best suits my needs. I recommend Ed's Left Coast Solutions highly and without reservation as your best choice for a go to person for advice and guidance for your website needs. He has the experience, knowledge and patience to work with you at your level of experience. He is a rare find and techno/guru gem.

We couldn't be happier with the work and professionalism Ryan offered us...not to mention we are in love with our new website and can't wait to share with the world our beautiful online he created for us.
