JCI just completed our first professional website and we already sold a job off of it!…read moreThe team was very professional and patient from start to finish. JCI is the only place to go.

In my experience JCI was mostly marketing and not enough substance. Jared spent a lot of time…read moremarketing himself and his teams capabilities in that southern drawl of his, but when it came time to deliver it was "nickel and dime" time all the way through design. The only bright spot was Tonya. Beware of the ---1 (star) costs $3K-$5K 2 $5K-$7K 3 $7500 and up --- sales pitch as it is only a ploy to get your budget pegged and drive the needs for your site up on you. The bottom line is that the SquareSpace platform allows much of traditional costs for coding and designing a website to be drastically lowered. Squarespace makes designing a websiter EASIER by including off-the-shelf building blocks of the most popular features of websites to be easily added at the click of a button. The cost for designing a SquareSpace website should be LESS expensive and not MORE expensive than traditionally designed websites on the Joomla or Wordpress platform. Instead JCI upcharges anytime you want to add basic things such as an actual portfolio to your site. This review is based solely on my experience working with JCI so if you want more details or references of other SquareSpace designers please email me at leorcastillo@gmail.com @Jared: Call me crazy but I still have the ONE and ONLY response you sent about the concerns I communicated to you and Tonya who told me you would get back in touch with me about my portfolio when you got back into town...AFTER she took my last payment. Via iMessage a month later you said the following "Hey Leo....I don't know what happened but my iMessage acted like I responded to you but I just realized I didn't get back in touch with you." No "plethora" of emails, just took my money and ran. Trying to be successful at your business is no excuse to abandon your professed values and beliefs Jared. I speak the truth as a defense against those who don't. I made sure my conscience was clean when I wrote my review so that it communicated how I was treated. I wish you the best.

I started working with Andrew to help me build my online presence after seeing how he transformed…read moremy husband's business. My first consult with him was very educational.

I am an artist, author and counselor who has needed to learn the ways of business, though my mind…read moreis much more built for creativity than strategic marketing and systems thinking. Over the years, I've created more websites than should be legal, and as a result have felt scattered, inefficient and overwhelmed. Meeting with Andrew Hewatt of Blossom Lab Marketing was such a blessing. As a result of his keen and compassionate listening, he provided me with the kind of feedback that left me feeling seen, supported, oriented and motivated to take the next step towards greater clarity in my business, thus effectiveness in my branding and overall web presence. In addition, he gave useful advice about how I can 'offload' some of the repetitive tasks I deal with on a daily basis to assistants, and ways to partner with people who actually enjoy doing the things that I dread. He helped me see which of my websites could be easily joined, for greater simplicity, and how to determine which aspects of my work to prioritize. He immediately sensed and had ideas about how he could support me in meeting my long term goal of being more leveraged, so that I can focus my efforts on the creative work that I feel most passionate about. And that was just in our first meeting! I can definitely recommend Andrew Hewatt and Blossom Lab Marketing, and look forward to future collaborations with them.

Incredibly strong at the "science" of marketing (ask them for a few methods of measuring value of campaigns), and no strangers to the "art" of it as well. A few of the successful projects (all generated positive ROI): Re-architecting website and rebuilding SEO to generate more traffic. Search engine marketing management (Adwords, etc.) Social media strategy Insight survey build and execution Direct mail strategy Email marketing Animated videos New market launch strategy Many more that I am probably forgetting. Just say "no" to marketing fluff... you will find none of it with SBS... just strong strategy and execution to drive profits to your business.
