The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CEO and Co-Founder of a storytelling site over 600K monthly visitors. We take everything you love about stories and makes it a bite-sized, on-the-go experience. Fanfiction? Poetry? Short stories? You'll find it all!
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire , and what were your goals?
We brought in Slam Media Lab to provide ongoing SEO services for our landing pages and content. We wanted to make our topic pages consistently rank for competitive keywords.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We found them through a referral. We went through a bunch of companies, did due diligence and ended up picking Slam Media Lab due to the founder's experience in SEO. They've worked with audiences like ours and the team seemed really agile and fast, as opposed to going to traditional agencies.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.
We kicked off our project by sharing which categories we wanted to be known for. Slam Media Lab in the meantime went through an audit of our site and existing content, and since week 1, they provided recommendations for on-page and website optimization. After that they started doing keyword research and gave us thousands of potential opportunities for us to rank. We highlighted the ones we wanted to go after. Slam Media Lab brought it writers to help us publish the amount of content we needed.
They organized everything on an Airtable and the process was really smooth. We felt that we didn't even have to touch anything and started seeing results pretty quickly. Slam Media Lab also cleaned up our Google Dashboards and made a Google Data Studio for us to track conversions and traffic. They documented everything and delivered us templates and guides to use in the future.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We worked with four people: the CEO, the editor, an assistant, and a writer.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We've grown our search traffic by 20% every month. We are now at 600K monthly uniques.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
They really thrived at scaling processes. They use Airtable to manage all writing. Google Drive/Docs for the articles. Slack for quick questions and updates. Strong content ops!
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their ability to drive results. They were able to get everything in place and launched a lot of pages to test our hypothesis for programmatic pages. I also really liked that they cut through all the stuff that doesn't matter to get where we needed to be! And their design eye is spot on. Loved working with them.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
None.

Slam Media Lab has helped a youth health organization design a new Webflow website from scratch and develop an SMM strategy for engagement. They’ve also created content, supported SEO, and provided training.
Slam Media Lab has been instrumental in increasing the client’s social media engagement and followers, reaching a 100% increase on one of their platforms. Moreover, the site they delivered is fast, engaging, and well-designed. The team is responsive, helpful, understanding, and attentive to detail.
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 the director of marketing and communications at Peer Health Exchange, a nonprofit organization that works with young people to build healthier communities. We focus on mental and sexual health, teaching young people about those life skills.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Slam Media Lab?
We needed help with social media content and social media marketing (SMM) because we had a gap within our staff, and we lacked a social media manager. Additionally, we needed to rebrand our website.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
On the one hand, Slam has supported us with having an SMM strategy, and they’ve also created content for our social media platforms. On the other hand, they’ve created a brand new website for us. Additionally, they’ve helped us with SEO, integrated some things we had on our previous site into the new one, and supported us in best practices in terms of content and how long to keep it on the site.
For the website, we required Slam to make it fun, engaging, and targeted to young people. As for the technology stack, it uses Webflow. We come from a WordPress website, so Slam has also been helpful in getting us acclimated to the new platform.
What is the team composition?
We work with Silvia (Founder & CEO), Kyle (Head of Design & Operations), and Nancy (Webflow Designer & Developer).
How did you come to work with Slam Media Lab?
When we were looking for a vendor, we sent out an RFP and looked at a couple of different companies that responded to it, including Slam. Originally, they were recommended to us by someone who used to work at our organization. One of the main reasons we were interested in working with them was because, in addition to having a depth of experience, they’ve worked with young people. Therefore, we thought that working with a company that understands the language of young people would be very helpful for us.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $70,000 across both projects.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together on the website in March 2022, and Slam delivered it in July 2022. As per our SMM efforts, the marketing strategy work started in April 2022 and ended in June 2022. Still, our engagement is ongoing, as we’re still working with them on developing a couple of major pages for the site.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Slam has helped us increase engagement on our social media platforms, and it is now way above the national average for social engagement. Moreover, we’ve seen an increase in followers as well. For example, on one of our platforms, we’ve seen a 100% increase, which has been very beneficial.
As for our new website, we’ve received a lot of positive feedback from our staff, partners, community, and other young people; they love its new design and how fast it is. Currently, we average around 3,500 visitors per month.
How did Slam Media Lab perform from a project management standpoint?
Slam’s project management is amazing, and they’ve always been willing to incorporate feedback from young people throughout the process. Additionally, they respond very quickly. We use a Monday board to track progress, and at one point, we had weekly meetings to check-in. We also use Slack a lot to communicate, and we’ve used Loom a couple of times.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Slam’s attention to detail and customer service are outstanding. They understand Webflow very well, and they know what they’re doing. They’ve also gone above and beyond their line of duty and provided great insight on things we didn’t even think about, which has been very helpful.
In addition to that, Slam is very good at training. They know we have a limited budget, so they’ve been willing to train our staff to do the work, which has been very important for us.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Work with them! — I would highly recommend them. If you do so, you’ll gain a lot of knowledge and understanding of Webflow, SEO, and the decision-making process behind their work and how it relates to your needs.

The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I was the COO of the company. Our company helped sales teams reduce ramp time through an analytics platform.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Slam Media Lab?
We hired Slam Media to design our website and blog. The project was fairly complex (6 pages with multiple designs per page).
SOLUTION
How did you select Slam Media Lab and what were the deciding factors?
We selected this vendor due to their previous project history, interview performance, and proposal. They seemed extremely professional and comprehensive.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
We tasked Slam Media with designing a website in 2 weeks for us. We had an existing brand (logo, colors) but lacked a website. We started the project by outlining each page, the types of designs we wanted, and the copy for each page. We provided examples of other websites that we wanted to emulate.
Then the Slam Media team created Figma mockups and showed them to us before creating the project in Webflow. When we gave the team feedback, iterations were typically completed within 24-48 hours. Graphics were exceptional and well attuned to what we wanted.
How many resources from the Slam Media Lab team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We mainly worked with Kyle but occasionally interacted with Silvia. We didn't work directly with the graphic designer that they used.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We launched our website on time and received great feedback from clients.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Very. Slam set up a slack channel between us and adjusted to our communication style (Google docs, less meetings). Quite easy to work with.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Very receptive to feedback. They asked excellent questions about what we wanted in order to get us to think about our ideal state. They reduced misalignment through their project setup.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Everything was exceptional. It took a few iterations to get the graphics right but that was partially on us for not being explicit enough.

A fashion startup has partnered with Slam Media Lab for website development on Webflow. The team has also guided the client on branding, web development, and design strategies to ensure an SEO-optimized site.
Thanks to Slam Media Lab, the client received positive feedback from their investors and early beta testers. They also had an effective workflow and outstanding project management skills. Overall, they were timely and responsive, and they went above and beyond to deliver a high-quality product.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
We're a nascent DTC start-up in the fashion space -- I'm the CEO and founder.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Slam Media Lab, and what were your goals?
We’re coming out of stealth very soon, so we’re preparing all of our public-facing marketing materials for the launch. We have known Slam since its inception and I previously work with the founder and Head of Design, so I was thrilled to partner with them. We wanted to bring in a talented team of designers and marketers to help us get a beautiful website up on Webflow and using no-code tools so hiring Slam Media Lab was a no-brainer.
At the same time, we really wanted to ensure that the site was SEO-optimized from day 1 so they gave us guidance not only in the branding and web development and design side, but also on page structure, URL structure, on-page optimization, and more.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
I'd previously worked with the folks at Slam, so knew they were highly competent across the board, especially in Webflow design & development. I'd point out firstly that the team is not only talented at what they do (which runs the gamut of the entire web design / dev process from Figma mock-up to build), but they're incredibly efficient, organized, and receptive to changes. We had our site up within weeks.
Two, they are really good at SEO so we didn’t have to waste time hiring another team or spend time doing research. Ultimately, it was an easy decision for us because they brought the full package.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The scope was to create a beautiful, mobile-first marketing site to prepare for our upcoming beta launch and and served as the gateway for investors, consumers, and partners to learn more about our company. Deliverables included:
Design site structure to allow for growth (Webflow collections, page hierarchy, etc.)
Website copy: Collect copy from client, Meta titles + meta descriptions for all pages
Clean up and finalize existing mock-ups for hierarchy, responsive sizing, and spacing
Build each page and collections within Webflow
Program copy, design, graphics, images into CMS
6Add integrations (i.e. Google Analytics, Hubspot, Airtable, etc.)
Build out and test on both staging and live sites (QA)
DNS configurations
Provide training and documentation for the site
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Two Webflow developer and designers, One project manager, and One SEO specialist.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Slam Media Lab really went above and beyond to get the site up -- they're very quick to take in feedback and turn around changes for us to review. When I had thoughts towards changes I wanted but couldn't quite figure out the details, they made suggestions based on their previous experience that made the site much better than I could've conceived.
We now use our site to our investors and early beta testers and have gotten great user feedback from all. We’re excited to share this with the world as we come out of stealth, and we know that the site will be able to scale given the way it was built.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
This team was 100% on time and really great at project management. They use Notion as their project management software and kept all of our notes, ticket requests, feedback all in a Notion dashboard, which made it super easy for us to find what we need. They really care about ensuring that we know what’s the latest, and that we have access to change things if we need to.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The quality of work, the timeliness and how quickly they get back to us while also managing other clients. The designs and work really reflect a wonderful team. They were very kind, truly deeply care about their work, and ensured that on the marketing side, everything was fully optimized for conversion.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the Head of Product Marketing at Composer. Composer is the first digital marketplace to offer a comprehensive collection of resources for activating a deeper sense of human responsibility in students. Founded in 2019 by High Resolves as a collaborative initiative with four other market leaders in civics and citizenship education: Facing History and Ourselves, iCivics, Generation Citizen, and Peace First, the platform enables educators working with grades 6-12 and in non-traditional learning environments to access a whole ecosystem of content providers in one place.

Composer provides research-based tools and guidance to support educators with curriculum planning, tailoring the world’s best curriculum to their own context, and translating insights from learning science into practical applications.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Slam Media Lab, and what were your goals?
We wanted to bring an SEO agency with proven experience in the social impact space. As we revamped our site, we wanted to optimize our site for SEO to help make it our #1 marketing channel. Slam Media Lab helped us with keyword research and grouping for all the categories we want to be known for. They also gave us guidance on website optimization, page structure, URL structure, and gave us a detailed breakdown of what our competitors were doing. Our goal is to be #1 platform for educators to find high-quality resources through search.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Slam Media Lab was highly recommended by other social impact organizations that we've worked with in the past. We saw case studies of their past clients and were looking for a small agency that could execute at a high level. They are based in the Bay Area, so they bring in a lot of the tech expertise to help us scale the writing and editing. We loved that they had writers ready to start writing many pieces a month.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.
Slam Media Lab's scope was to build the organic search foundation that we needed to increase brand awareness, traffic, and new users. This foundation helped us create and distribute content to tens or hundreds of thousands or millions of people per month organically that will engage with the content and product.
Deliverables include:
Website optimization recommendations: Guidance and recommendations for website redesign and blog: structure, pages, and URLs
Opportunity analysis and keyword research strategy: Point out which existing content can be optimized for to identify market opportunity
Individual Content (Resources/Blog/Landing Pages) Optimization: Upgrading and reviewing existing content based on opportunity to capture searches, recommendations and feedback on meta titles and meta descriptions, article structure, internal link strategy
SEO writing training: Coach staff on SEO writing and optimization for all content and product
Landscape analysis of 20 competitors and partners
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Three people. We worked with the CEO who was our point of contact, one editor, and one of their assistants.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Slam Media Lab showed us thousands of variations of what our competitors are doing. This helped us start refocusing our content strategy and finding the niches we want to be well known for. This has led us to save dozens of hours in design work, writing work, and development. Now that we know the data, we're starting to create landing pages for each of our tags and writing new content at scale. Her guide has helped crack the code with performance. We're starting to see our pages move to the second page and soon first page.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
This was one of Slam Media Lab's biggest strenghts: extremely organized with action items after every single meetings. All documents live in one place (a Google Drive), as well as an Airtable to track all the writing. They delivered everything ahead of time and had every agenda prepared 24-hours before.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They were able to get us all keyword research in less than a week. They are fast, can show results, and since they've worked with big brands similar to ours in the past, they know the industry inside and out. They deeply care about their clients and go above and beyond to make sure we get the best results possible.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We were very impressed so no additional feedback for now.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
For this project, I wanted to completely revamp my website to better connect with my audience and drive more sales. We started by mapping out the structure and strategy of the site, making sure everything fit my goals. The team at Slam Media Lab helped me figure out the direction and created clear outlines and wireframes for each page.
They then designed mockups that really captured the look and feel I was aiming for. I appreciated that they let me give feedback twice for each page, so we could make sure everything was just right. Once the designs were approved, they built the site, making sure it worked smoothly on Shopify and stayed true to my brand. They also provided a style guide to keep everything consistent.
Before launching, they thoroughly tested the site to ensure it was easy to use, responsive, and looked exactly as planned. They also handled SEO, making sure the site was optimized for search engines, and set up tools like Google Analytics so I could track how it was performing.
After everything was ready, they launched the site and offered a couple of hours of support to handle any issues that popped up. They also trained my team and gave us resources to help manage the site ourselves.
The final website includes all the key pages—Home, About, Blog, Contact, Products, and a checkout process that works smoothly, giving my users a great experience.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
I’m thrilled with the results! The new site has already started driving more traffic, which is amazing. The unique and beautiful branding really sets us apart and has gotten a lot of positive feedback. The site is visually appealing and it’s super easy for customers to navigate, and I’m confident it’s going to lead to more conversions.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Slam was super detailed with project management right from the start, so I knew exactly what to expect from our very first conversation. They were great at adapting when I had last-minute changes, and their communication was always on point. I told them I preferred to meet asynchronously to fit my schedule, and they totally made it work. They kept me updated through emails, Loom videos, and collaborative tools, which made everything so much easier for me.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am a marketing executive with 30+ years of experience. Have worked with big brands like Funny or Die, XQ Institute, Brit & Co.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Slam Media Lab?
We hired Slam to help us with two main services: website redesign (wireframing, copy optimization, branding) and low-code development on Webflow! Specifically, this was a personal project I was looking to get up quickly and as a way to get more traffic to a website focused on promoting an author and her books.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We selected Slam Media Lab after a thorough review of several potential vendors in the market. The selection process involved conducting research on the vendors, evaluating their portfolios, and reviewing their client testimonials.
After hearing so many great reviews about Silvia and Kyle, we were on board! We were impressed with Slam's track record of delivering high-quality website design and development services, and their expertise in low-code development on Webflow and SEO made them a perfect fit for our project. The deciding factors were around quality of work, timeline, and pricing. Their pricing was competitive, and they were willing to work within our timeline and budget constraints!
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
Slam Media Lab would work to improve the overall user interface and online experience when learning about Edwards, her books, and her upcoming events. This would involve making sure the site is easy to navigate and user-friendly, and that it provides a seamless experience for visitors who are looking to learn more about the author and her work.
Moodboard: The first step was to develop a mood board that would guide the overall aesthetic and visual style for the website. This would help establish the tone and visual style of the brand, including the color scheme and typography choices.
Branding: Next, Slam Media Lab would work on the branding, which would involve creating a brand identity that would be consistent throughout the website.
Wireframes: After the branding had been established, Slam Media Lab would create wireframes for the website, which would provide an outline of the overall site structure and layout.
Content Outlines: Based on the wireframes, the team would work on developing content outlines for the website, which would include the overall structure and organization of the content.
High-Fidelity Mockups: Once the wireframes and content outlines had been approved, Slam would create high-fidelity mockups of the website design!
DNS Set-Up: As the website was being developed, Slam Media Lab would assist with setting up the DNS for the website, which would involve registering a domain name and setting up web hosting, and transfer everything from the old site!
SEO Optimization: In order to improve search engine visibility and attract more traffic to the site, Slam helped optimize the site from day 1, which would involve making sure the site is structured properly and contains relevant keywords and meta tags!
Launch: After the website had been developed, tested, and optimized for performance, Slam would assist with launching the site, which would involve making the site live and accessible to the public.
Training: The Slam Media Lab team would provide training on how to change and update the website, which would include instructions on how to add new content, edit existing content, and make any necessary changes.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We worked with two designers, a project manager, and the CEO who lead on the strategy!

I had worked closely with the Founder and Head of Design in the past and was well aware of their expertise and capabilities in making sites that scale in traffic through SEO, tell a powerful story, and converts. I knew this project would be left in good hands, and I was right.
One of the deciding factors was how forward-looking, fast-paced, responsive they were. I’ve recommended them to several partners and colleagues already!

The Slam team made sure we were up to speed with everything and sending updates weekly. As we got closer to launching, they sent even more regular aspects.They were skilled at the website's technical and design and amazing people that adjusted to my working style.
That special touch is what makes all the difference in the world. They used both Slack and Notion to keep track of edits, comments, and feedback. Slam Media Lab goes the extra mile so that we can learn how to use the website ourselves, instead of relying on a 3rd party to make changes.

On top of that, they wanted to ensure the website reflected the powerful storytelling of the film, so they came up with interactive concepts to engage our audience. They’re upfront, fun, nimble, hustlers, and a critical partner.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
No, keep being amazing! I look forward to our calls. A+ team.
