What is the status of this engagement?

Adsture was already working for the company when I joined 6–7 months ago. I believe the collaboration with them started one year ago in November 2018. We’re still working with them to add content to the site, make changes to the layout, and supply pictures.  

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

Adsture delivered what we wanted. We’re 95% satisfied with their work. Our business improved after the engagement began. We’re getting more visibility, and more people are learning about our website and property. The hotel is getting more calls and inquiries compared to last year.

I’ve been impressed with their patience. They have no problem getting on a call to review site changes. They’re friendly and I can openly discuss my preferences with them. I’m comfortable working with them and calling them anytime.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

They completed all the work we asked of them on time, so we don’t have any complaints. I can’t comment on the technical part, but the delivery, timeliness, and communication are all good.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Clients should just go ahead and start talking to them. Once they start working with Adsture, I’m sure they’ll enjoy it.
