First Rate Marketing developed a branding agency’s website. They discussed the client’s goals and preferences before designing the site. From there, they built the platform, iterating based on feedback.

First Rate Marketing’s work received positive feedback from the client as it was engaging and SEO friendly. Their communicative and responsive approach and outstanding workflows cultivated a seamless partnership. Overall, their professionalism, expertise, and charisma were impressive.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

OMG Brand Story is a brand development consulting agency designed to unleash purpose-driven brands. We dare business owners to believe in the power of their story and then help them develop their brand voice and visual identity by waking up the heart of their brand. As the CEO and Chief Brand Strategist, it is my vision to create more meaningful, inclusive, and engaging brand experiences for all through our work at OMG Brand Story.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire First Rate Marketing?

Our website was created "in-house" as a start-up business, and with rapid growth over our first two years, we knew that we had to create a significant improvement in our online brand presence. While we owned the voice and the visual components, our expertise was not in web design and development, and it certainly was not in SEO optimization. Through a mutual business colleague, we were thankfully introduced to First Rate Marketing and have never looked back.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We're a fast-paced, fun, and charismatic group who loves to work with other brands who share our values and bring some magic and synergy to the project.

We can find excellent web designers anywhere, but could we find the excellent web geniuses who were the right fit for our brand? Could we find those elusive and savage unicorn bad asses who could hang with the best of us? Indeed, we could.

Our initial interactions with First Rate Marketing were top-notch, professional, fun, engaging, and meaningful. They "got" us, and we knew it would be a perfect match to meet our needs on all fronts.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

After an initial consultative meeting where they got to know us and we got to speak to their designers about our style and expectations, we were provided a few design options within a week's time. They were stellar and make it difficult to choose the direction - which is always a great problem to have.

They were able to quickly take our likes and inquiries to create a phenomenal design that was reflective of our energy, representative of our brand, and aligned with our forward vision of the company. We provided the necessary copy and feedback along the process, and after a few short weeks, they delivered an outstanding site. Every interaction was polished, yet sincere and always a pleasure. The team offered an elevated experience that exceeded our expectations.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with three different individuals; however, we were assigned one designer to handle the entire process which was a huge plus for us. It made communication fluid and easy. Our initial contact, Sam, was generous with his time, knowledge, and expertise, and he made it easy to understand the overall process. Our web designer, Sean, was an absolute gem, eager to support our needs and incredibly responsive.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our site has brought in an flurry of positive comments about how much it reflects our brand energy and personality. Our clients love how fun and easy it is for them to engage with us via the site, and we love it, too! In addition, we are finally ranking on Google! That's a huge win for us, as our "in-house" efforts never made a dent with SEO.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was outstanding, and communication was fluid and easy. Communication was always open, and they were extremely responsive. There was never any doubt or concern regarding timing or updates. We loved their attention to detail and attentiveness to our inquiries and needs. Most importantly, they were able to execute requests effectively and expeditiously.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

First Rate Marketing is the perfect combination of professionalism, expertise, and charisma. They are easy to work with, a trusted resource for all things web design and SEO optimization, and just damn good people.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

The quality and level of attention given throughout the entire process could not have been improved. It was a wonderful experience.

Phone Interview
Verified

First Rate Marketing developed the website from scratch for an independent travel agent. They worked closely with the client and adjusted their schedule to work on the project.

In just seven weeks, First Rate Marketing successfully delivered a quality website. External stakeholders praised its look, and the client was satisfied. The team met each week to discuss the progress and used Microsoft Teams to communicate. Overall, they were accommodating and patient.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an independent travel agent. I’ve created an agency, and my website will encourage people to do quotes for me so I can call a date to them.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with First Rate Marketing?

I was new to website development, so I didn’t know anything about it. I needed help with web development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, we scheduled a time. Since I work in hospitality, my schedule changes every single week. We started about eight weeks ago, and First Rate Marketing did the development from scratch. They built the whole website in seven weeks.

What is the team composition?

I was in contact with Samuel (Director) for the first two weeks. He then introduced me to someone else who was equally brilliant. They both brought me to reality when I talked about all the amazing things I wanted. Then, they’d come back with a better solution.

How did you come to work with First Rate Marketing?

I came across them online. Then, I did a marketing event where I spoke to a couple of friends. Samuel gave me a phone call and went step by step. He really wanted to help and make sure my business went well.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $4,500.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership was from April–May 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

I have an Excel spreadsheet with 50–100 people to send out whatever I do. If I have something promotional like a logo or slogan, I have these people to get constructive criticism and keep it private. I sent the website out to everybody I knew would give me trustworthy feedback, and they came back saying it looked amazing.

How did First Rate Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

We had a meeting every week to discuss the progress via Microsoft Teams. Also, they were very accommodating. The team always made sure that the time was good for both of us, and they were very patient with me.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve been in situations where I don’t know much about a subject as someone else, and other companies have made me uncomfortable. However, First Rate Marketing never did that — they made me feel comfortable in any situation. By weeks 3–4, I felt like I had made friends.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have any negative comments about them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Do it.
