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!!!

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!

I booked Motion Marketing in the spring of 2021 for an engagement photo shoot in Big Sur. The TL:DR…read morepositive feedback is that I loved working with the team at Motion Marketing. I originally found these folks when searching for portrait photography and real estate photography in the Monterey area... and just really appreciated their friendly and approachable style. The longer story is that I am from the East Coast, and I just simply didn't know Monterey, Carmel-by-the-sea, San Jose, and Big Sur as detailed as I could have. I knew the general area I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, but Fernando and Xavier generously stepped up and offered all sorts of suggestions. They were patient with me, and quickly bought-in on my vision. I'm not sure who was more excited for the pictures... me or them! I later looked into more of their portfolio, realizing that they had also been doing a bunch of family photography & real estate videography around San Jose CA. This was helpful, as I was able to see a good spectrum of the post-production work that they do, which is a whole additional design skillset beyond skilled photography & videography. This helped seal my decision. (I think they also do web/graphic design?) The team is super supportive, creative, smart, and very talented. Beyond that, they enthusiastically go the extra mile for their clients. Figuratively and literally... They hiked over a mile and had to ford a river to get to the spot where I decided to pop the question. They were incredibly thoughtful and cognizant of staying in communication with me, but not over-communicating so they wouldn't arouse suspicion with my future fiancé. They also hid in the sand dunes, near piles of driftwood - to help keep the whole event a surprise! If you're familiar with Andrew Molera State Park, then you know what I'm talking about. Lastly, the pictures came out great. We've got the Big Sur River in the background on one side, a beach in the foreground, and the Pacific Ocean on the other side. Beautifully done, much appreciated, and I would absolutely return to book them again in the future. One of the most important and memorable days of my entire life was immensely improved by their direct input and efforts. I am grateful that I was able to work with them. Thank you, guys!

HE IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND VERY RUDE. From the moment I reached out for assistance, the customer service was lacking. My inquiries went unanswered for days, and when I finally received a response, it was unhelpful and dismissive. I encountered issues with my order that should have been resolved quickly, but instead, I was met with long wait times and a lack of accountability. It felt like no one cared about my concerns or was willing to help. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the customer service here. If you value support and responsiveness, I suggest looking elsewhere. This experience has left me questioning whether I will return as a customer.
