They've been in…read morebusiness for 10 years, although all of the senior staff have been in the industry for longer, working for mass market agencies both in and outside of the United States. Most recently, AdAsia was selected as one of the 10 advertising and marketing agencies to represent Verizon. AdAsia's other clients include Shiseido, Subaru, PNC Bank, FedEx, and Secure Horizons/Oxford. AdAsia has also won multiple awards, including the Urban Wheels Award Asian Diversity Automotive Advertisement of the Year two years running. I've had the opportunity to work at AdAsia as the English copywriter for the past two years. While working at a boutique agency of this size doesn't carry the weight of larger mass market agencies on my resume, virtually all of the projects I've worked on have been published, adding strength to my portfolio. As a business, AdAsia continues to grow, having added three new clients in the short time I've been working there. As an employer, well, it didn't pay the best, but I've had the experience to work long nights with some of the most talented and dedicated people I've ever met. And as I leave the great city of New York and head back to my hometown of San Francisco, I'm going to miss commuting to work through the snow, lunchtimes spent in Union Square with my coworkers, and cigarette breaks leaning by the window, watching the traffic on 16th Street come and go.

My wife and I were looking for a photographer to take photos at our son's baptism ceremony so we…read morechecked on Yelp and we were able to get a few quotes. Nathan from AlphaScape responded pretty quickly and was available on the requested date and time, he was also able to provide a quote which ended up being the final price. Nathan was easy to communicate with and answered all my questions promptly. After we agreed on the terms I received the contract and requested some changes which were accommodated, I paid the deposit and had it confirmed. On the day of the event Nathan showed up on time and was able to photograph the most important things to us which we had asked for in advance, he took many photos and they were of great quality, he stayed longer to make sure we had all the shots, he was professional and courteous. The photos were delivered as promised within a few business days. I would no doubt hire AlphaScape when needed.

In social media advertising, I demand excellence, demonstrative knowledge of my service, and wit…read more Ross' latest effort, VIP Social, strikes this delicate balance with aplomb. VIP Social optimizes social media advertising by using data to deliver advertisements directly to targeted social network users. When Oscar Wilde quipped that "nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing," he did not anticipate VIP Social's holistic grasp of the urbanity and expertise necessary for good social media advertisement. With Ross, it's a relationship, not a paycheck. Make no mistake -- VIP Social's week beats its competitors' year.

Ross is a master in his field. As the former Vice President of Digital Marketing at JPMorgan Chase…read more& Co., I have worked with many people who claim to understand Digital Marketing. What separates Ross from others, is that he understands that marketing is about generating revenue and building relationships that retain customers. The strategies that he develops for clients are custom tailored to their needs and are, therefore, exponentially more effective than the cookie cutter strategies that are unfortunately frequently peddled on the Internet. As an SEO professional, I have collaborated directly with Ross on many projects with mutual clients. I know firsthand how successful he has been at fulfilling clients' goals. Most recently, he established a social media strategy for my business and it has been operating efficiently ever since. If your business needs help attracting new customers then I recommend you reach out to Ross and have him prepare a digital marketing strategy for you.
