RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project was a disaster. They lacked technical knowledge; we did 85% of the work. They took almost $100k to do low-level admin work. They are thriving off the lack of information about the Industry, but their work is extremely elementary.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Very poor. Timelines shifted a lot, and None of the deliverables were delivered on time.

What was your primary form of communication with Agency | 2.0?

Virtual Meeting

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

Nothing at all.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Agency | 2.0 could have done differently?

I got easily fooled by the false claims on their website and the sugar-coated, soft-spoken tongue of the CEO Jonathan who lured me into a bait-and-switch contract. As soon as we began to go deeper into the project, he started introducing new fees and almost tripled the initially agreed cost. The Agency is a scam organization, and they haven't had a million-dollar campaign since 2017, when the previous owner died. 

The new CEO is a sweet-talking marketing con artist who knows nothing about Crowdfunding. He has a reputation in the industry for being a predator who takes advantage of new founders who are ignorant about the crowdfunding process and eager to get their products out there. Stay away from this company and Jonathan for your good. 

There are more reputable companies out there that deliver better results at 1/3rd of the cost. Jonathan requests so much money in advance, wants a percentage of your earnings, and does not guarantee you any success. His campaigns average $35k in total Kickstarter pledges, and his upfront costs are usually around $50k. 

You will spend more than you receive in pledges working with these scammers. Take the time to investigate the projects on their website, and you will see that their success rate is below 10%. The moment you figure him out and try to walk away from the fraudulent contract, he throws all kinds of threats in your direction. It's better to be safe than sorry. Do not sign any contracts with scam Agency 2.0, which focuses on siphoning as much as they can upfront and care nothing for you or your campaign.
