I have been trying to work with Inkstache for over a year for simple updates to my website. Over…read morethe course of that time, Case was unresponsive for days, if not weeks or months, at a time. While their work looks good from the outside, I unfortunately never got to the point where I can say they did good work for me. It should NEVER be that difficult to get a hold of someone who you hire to do something for you. As a small business owner myself, I can tell you if I did not reply to one of my clients, I can assure you they would never want to work with me again- which is exactly what this situation ensured for Inkstache. I will be taking my business elsewhere, where as a client, I am valued and taken care of in a prompt and professional manner.

I used to work here as an intern in 2019 so I'm extremely biased. With that out of the way:…read more Kinetic Communications is a gem of a company offering top-notch digital media design and development. If you need a website, you go to these fine folks. They have an impressive portfolio of past projects from local businesses to regional corporations like Jacks to public entities like the University of Alabama and Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport, so you know they know a thing or two about quality. Their office has to be one of the coolest things you've ever seen. It used to be a nightclub frequented by Johnny Cash, but it's been converted to a space rivalling Silicon Valley. It's got it all - LED lights, a gym, beer on tap, coffee, a full kitchen, giant chess, rooftop golf, and more. The main man in charge, Jay Brandrup, is an outstanding guy and very down to Earth. Even if you're not in the market for a finely-tuned digital marketing overhaul, it's still worth checking out as a passerby. Turns out a bright red train car on a cobblestone road makes for a great photo op.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I found others having a similar experience! I hired Bear based on a…read morelisting he had. Seemed like a nice guy who was really responsive up until the time he took my cash. His email responses started to get progressively longer. At first, he'd respond within a few hours. Then it became a day and finally, just vanished. If this just happened to me but the guy was otherwise a great contractor, I'd write it off as just a victim of life's circumstances. However, multiple stories, spread over time, all over the internet point to a guy who is just trying to steal money. So sad, it ruined me from trusting contractors online. I spent over $6,500 on Bear's services and never had anything to show for it. I've currently going through dispute resolution with PayPal. The funny thing is, Bear doesn't even respond to their emails. It's like he just steals the money and hopes you don't challenge it. **UPDATE: I think it's funny I'm the only one Bear has responded to. Now he's trying to play the "I don't know who you are" card. I've already received Bear's wage garnishment letters from the IRS. His ex-wife has also contacted me to explain that Bear won't pay any child support for his three children. Just awful all the way around.

BEWARE. This person advertises himself on his website (bearconsulo.com) and on various Freelance…read morewebsites. I hired him on Upwork. He convinced me to release $600 as a deposit on the work he was to perform. I did so. He disappeared. No response to me. No response to Upwork mediation. They eventually refunded money I still had in escrow but offered no support for re-gaining the funds released through their site to him. This person cannot be trusted to deliver anything. BEWARE. SCAM ARTIST.

In July of 24 I was invited to a Christmas in July party where all businesses were asked to drop a…read morebusiness card into a box for a raffle. I ended up winning a drawing for $2500 in ad spend with IHeart. I was asked to come in to set up my advertising. I agreed to pay use the $2500 credit in conjunction with another $2500 monthly ad spend. We started in October and I was committed to using Rob Conrad as my endorsee for my business. Rob retired in October and my ads were going to be changed. I knew Rob personally and had an experience that felt good. I didn't want another person to do my ads but I continued to allow JT to do them. I received a bill in November $2500 over the agreed upon amount which would have included my credit. I contacted IHeart and spoke about this with Kelly Flannagan. She assured me I would have the $2500 credited to my account and to continue ad spend. In December I received another bill $2500 over the agreed upon amount. I contacted Kelly Flannagan again and was assured she would get this fixed. In January I received the bill from December for the same amount a third time and contacted Kelly advising her I wanted to cancel IHeart Media's services. I did pay my 3 agreed upon amounts of $2500. However, I am being billed for $7500 roughly in an outstanding amount. I contacted the President of Marketing Black Fulton who acknowledged that the amount was overcharged but wanted me to continue spending money with IHeart in order to receive my credit. The credit would be free advertising for three months under the request that I pay for the past due bill they overcharged me. In a since they are blackmailing me to pay what I do not owe in exchange for more advertising. This is not right and they are refusing to DO WHAT IS RIGHT. So I am sharing my experience with all local businesses. Folks do not do business with IHeart Media.
