I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I actually waited until the last minute to produce my 24"x36" Seating chart poster. I didn't want to go with my normal printer that I use at work (I work in events, so i have a few) because the last few times the colors were off, and the other one had a really long leadtime. I took a chance and went with Action Litho (they're pretty close to my house), and boy, am I IMPRESSED! Timely production, excellent/Vivid color that's true to specification, professional packaging, and Warren even delivered it to my house. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Then I ran into Patrick. DualStar is actually a network of dozens of professionals that can cover everything from concept to delivery. When he said full advertising agency, he wasn't kidding.

He is worth paying a visit, if nothing else to see his new office in Hayward; right near the San Mateo bridge.

Iv'e had so many bad experiences with people i've called "mentors" in the past and was really hesitant to rely on someone else to learn from. Patrick's genuine style and integrity never failed and I am always looking forward to working with him.

We had done one project with them in 2024. We found them to be a bit disorganized, but okay to deal…read morewith. This year I contacted them for a few projects. We scheduled a site visit. The gentleman who came seemed great, but he didn't send me a quote. One week later, I hadn't heard anything from them. After calling to ask if I could get my quote, the Owner (I believe) told me that they may "take a pass," on our projects. When I asked why, she said they "do this all of the time." She sent a follow-up email blaming it on their schedule and workload, but I had not even given them a delivery schedule. It was a super disappopinting experience. My advice - if you plan on getting a quote from them for a commercial project, get quotes from competitors as well. Be aware that this company evidently chooses to "take a pass" on projects often.

He had done other sites for other local firms in our industry and we had a good feeling about them. So we committed (again) to get our site redesigned. This time, it was very different. I don't know what it was in particular but the KO Team's style really helped us to stay on track to get it done this time. They are very easy to work with and (mostly) responsive, which is what we needed. KO did a great job on our site that much better reflects the culture, capabilities and capacity of our firm. We saw an immediate and dramatic increase in requests for bid from people searching the web. While we really don't need new business, it has clearly strengthened our position with our existing customers on the large projects ($500k and up) and that was the main goal. So thanks Kern. You and your team really delivered!
