Being new to Charlotte, Coworking, and Entrepreneurship, Adrienne took the time to help me navigate our project, as well as setting business goals and getting connected with great people and resources in the area. I've enjoyed getting to know her since joining Advent Coworking a year ago, and feel she is a great connector in the Charlotte entrepreneur landscape.

Wow, where do I even begin? I could literally write a novel, or at least a novelette on the value…read moreand overall experience I had with TorchBearer Business Growth Advisors! But alas, I am confined by character limits in this review l, so I will hold myself to a concise thesis instead. First, Adrienne is one of the most creative and out-of-the-box thinkers I've ever met. I was new to the entrepreneurial world and while I was following my passion to create my own business, I was lacking in marketing expertise to really maximize and differentiate myself in the marketplace. Within the first few hours of working with Adrienne, she outlined a concise strategy to really separate our new business from all the pretenders. The wealth of ideas she brought became the foundation for our brand, our mission and our go to market strategy (ideas I'm not too proud to admit that myself or my business partner would ever thought of) and subsequently realizing incredible growth in just our first year in business!! We beat our projections by over 100%! Hats off to Adrienne, she is one of a kind and the ROI working with her is worth it's weight in gold! Thanks Adrienne and TorchBearer!

I had been looking for a web designer since August 29th. On November 30, 2023, I spoke to Tiffiney…read moreCornish. She and her team are my number one pick with no reservations. TC Creatives made all my dreams come true. Now my website looks better than RogerEbert.com or other websites with more resources. Her communication style was amazing and responsive. I was able to verify her filings with Delaware's Secretary of State, and TC Creatives is in good standing. She had solid reviews on websites like Clutch. While her bid was higher than my prior top choices, she was the only web designer who was confident and had experience with working on movie review websites. She had no qualms about delivering what I asked for without adding a very high surcharge for adding photos, genres, release date, ranking and director/author information to every post. I only requested the photos. When I expressed reservations about the contract, she was willing to make concessions to put my mind at ease, but also did not want my vision to limit her because she could offer so much more than I requested, which she did. She wanted more for my website than I did. She also held firm on adhering to industry standards and patiently explained them to me along with bringing me up to speed on the legal requirements for operating a webpage, which is not my practice area, and ways to maximize my website by aligning the usernames of all my public social media to match my website, which may seem obvious, but was not until she mentioned it. She introduced me to working with other companies that improved my website. Even after she offboarded me, she was still adding features to my website! She created a gorgeous logo, a cute graphic while the page is loading, a clean, streamlined design. She also optimized the SEO and the website's search engine to make it easier for visitors to navigate, organized the reviews according to IMDb genres, added a functional subscription option, created an automatic newsletter, an update and about me page, linked the website to all my social media, and installed the Just Watch plugin. She also provided a way for people to contact me without using my personal information and gave me online tutorials on how to continue maintaining the webpage. While she was working on my website, she constantly made backups, and my website never went down. She made sure that my page was protected with JetPack, which was never fully in sync. Even after receiving full payment, whenever there were any hiccups found, like the wrong photo was used in a post or communicating with other companies to get the necessary information, TC Creatives jumped right in with as much vigor as the beginning. She had a solution to every problem. She runs her business by prioritizing her team's well-being. Her team operates on a four-day work week. They do not work on holidays or weekends. They take the period between December 21 and January 2 off. She migrated the information of around 4,000 posts and delivered a redesigned website earlier than estimated without sacrificing her values. It took less time for her to do all of this than it did for me to find her and/or for prospective web designers to get back to me with the clock still ticking. You get what you pay for, but with TC Creatives, you get so much more. It felt like she went above and beyond her duties as a web designer in teaching me about everything that goes into a website. TC Creatives makes your dreams come true. They give you a sense of security and show that you can have it all: an excellent product and work-life balance.

You've gotta love the single-handed approach to handling every business owner's needs. Her creative skill is obvious if you take a look at her portfolio, and she's got a great work ethic.

She's awesome, especially for small business. If you're looking for some promotional materials, hit her up.

Unprofessional attitude- including an inability to deal with any customer dissatisfaction. Many corrections needed to be made after the site was up and running. Audio pages did not work properly. After several frustrating email exchanges concerning delays in the website launch, Miss Shelton had a tantrum, which resulted in my being given an ultimatum to pay her in full immediately or have my site shut down. Payment was never an issue. I was left to complete work that she should have done herself, after she had been paid in full. My photo page had captions on the previous site. The new site done by Miss Shelton had no captions, just the jpeg file name on it. I was told to complete this myself. After being hacked the other day, Miss Shelton did help me, but also added that she "didn't have to." I do not recommend this company for web design. I am forced to give her a "one star" rating, although I'd prefer to give no stars.

She gave me a list of prompts to fill out and send back to help her get an idea of the vibe I was going for. She nailed it the first go round with very little input from me, I gave her a lot of creative autonomy and started the process with little ideas of what I wanted the finished product to look like. She helped not only with logo, but branding, social media and marketing toolkits. She is so talented, easy to work with, so helpful in answering questions and giving input. Would highly recommend to any business owner looking to build a relationship!
