I have dealt with a number of digital marketing companies in the past. Some have been great but…read moreexpensive, some have been cheap but bad, and worst of all, some have been bad and expensive! I was introduced to Magic Marketing by an old colleague and with my previous experience, was a bit skeptical. However, given their reasonable cost, I decided to give them a chance to see what they could do. They started off with organic SEO and did an incredible job. I have since started using them for other digital campaigns such as Pay Per Click. They have been doing a great job on these campaigns as well. While their cost has remained very reasonable and efficient, what I like most about Magic Marketing is how personal they take my business. They have shown legitimate concerns about my company's well-being and are always trying to figure out how to adjust their methods to help me meet my goals. Best of all, they are not a company that nickel and dimes their clients for every little charge. They often put their own skin in the game and they have always worked the incredible integrity. If you are looking for a marketing vendor that will get in the trenches with you and treat you like a partner, this is the perfect company for you.

When I called them, a young guy just answered, "Hello?" How unprofessional! First red flag. I told him I was impressed by their website, but the way he answered the phone was really unprofessional and sends up a red flag; but I'm willing to move past that and inquire about their services. That was his cue to express a modicum of humility and apologize, but no -he just asked how they could help, with a tone that clearly indicated he really didn't care. There was no life in his voice. When I began telling him what I'm interested in, he cut me off and said he's busy with a client. Wow! Obviously all that glitters isn't gold, as this is clearly NOT a professional business -one that would have someone answer calls when they're with a client, or simply not answer the phone, so they can stay focused on their client. Taking away from a client's time (and money) to answer calls is disrespectful and unprofessional. Seeing any further conversation would be wasted on him, I hung up.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY LESSONS THAT WON'T BREAK YOUR SPIRIT…read more "Motherfucker! I bought this expensive camera and I can't make it work worth shit. Sure it is OK in Monkey Mode--auto--but is this all there is?" That was me. Now my buyers remorse is gone thanks to Jared Brick. I bought a NIKON SLR he showed me how to use it. Let's face it, cameras are easy to use now but what you need to know to get good shots in various conditions have not changed. Jared will meet you anywhere and with the patience of a saint tell you how to use your toy. His ability to communicate concepts, and you need to know them, is very good. Does ISO, f stop, and aperture totally confuse you. It should. But Jared makes it simple... "Photography is all about light" "The Aperture mode is the artistry mode" "The ISO is like a dimmer" Golden. Unlike other teachers he LIKES teaching and never is condescending. With tons of Flickr'rs running around with expensive toys like me this guy is the missing piece. Pretty down to earth, willing to drop an f-bomb if necessary. Extra credit there...

I'm really glad I chose to work with Launch Brigade instead of another web design agency.
