LYFE Marketing

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I run a health coaching business. We help people to lose weight, lower their blood pressure and cholesterol, and improve their overall health using food. We have a two-step process; first, it’s a five-day challenge at a low price. At the end of the challenge, we introduce our food program.

What challenge were you trying to address with LYFE Marketing?

We were looking to scale our business. Our challenge was to grow the number of people going through our five-day challenge using advertising. We didn’t have much business coming from cold traffic when we started. Running Facebook ads is hard on the weight loss space because computers reject them quickly; we must review them and know what changes to make.

What was the scope of their involvement?

LYFE Marketing is responsible for setting up campaigns and running them. They give us the necessary input to grow. The campaigns have focused on helping people lose weight and improve their health. We provide the videos, and they do a lot of the graphics and copy. Overall, they help us with the marketing strategy.

Initially, they asked us questions about our business; they had a process to understand it. We educated them on what we do, how we do it, and our unique competitive advantage in the marketplace.

They’ve only done Facebook campaigns so far. We plan to expand at some point.

What is the team composition?

We work directly with David (Account Manager). He’s on our weekly calls; he helps us determine our budgets and strategies.

How did you come to work with LYFE Marketing?

A friend of mine referred them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested close to $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2021, and our partnership is ongoing.

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

They’ve been an integral part of our success. Thanks to them, we’ve grown from having a dozen people in our challenge to almost 300 people; it’s been a wonderful thing for our business.

How did LYFE Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is excellent. We’re constantly communicating; they help us with our strategy, ad budget, and targeting. We have weekly meetings on Zoom to decide where to invest and how to get the most out of the ads. They also review what’s working so we can see where to make changes.

We use Facebook Messenger to communicate with our team.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their strategic input and ability to execute are outstanding. They’re responsible for the exponential growth of our business.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, we’re happy with them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You must provide a product or service that people want to buy; they can’t do miracles. If you have that, they can take it and help you grow it.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Owner of an online e-commerce company

For what projects/services did your company hire LYFE Marketing?

• Social Media Campaign
• Website Development
• Email drips
• Graphic Design
• Landing pages

What were your goals for this project?

The goal was to begin branding our company through the Facebook community. Then we would branch out into other platforms

How did you select this vendor?

After speaking with several companies we decided to go with them based on some reviews we read online. We always try to avoid any negative reviews and look for the positives. The people who reviewed them well spoke highly. The original representative had all the answers and was very friendly

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

They were to create a social media campaign. They were to create marketable graphics based on the photos we provided. From their we would use these images on the landing pages they were supposed to create. We would then obtain emails and use those to begin our email marketing campaign or to show customers why our products are worth the purchase.

Additionally, they were to provide unlimited web development services whenever our company sent in a request. Restrictions did apply. They would take all of this and a pre-determined allotted marketing fund and begin marketing throughout facebook with ADs and campaigns and boosted post

What was the team composition?

From my understanding, the team was originally composed of a Business rep who would transfer me to a project manager. From there the project manager would handle everything unless I needed to speak with the Business rep.

I am unsure exactly because when we started the Business Rep handling our case was let go and we were left in a void with no contact until a little while after our initial contact day.

We then spoke with one of the owners who called to apologize for the situation and immediately worked to get us with someone that day. Which they did :-)

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

We can definitely speak to the companies ability to take limited resources with photos and creating a look and feel based on conversations and forms we filled out. We had worked with other companies who were unable to accomplish this. They really nailed how the look and feel for our graphics.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Overall the workflow was not too effective. We had weekly phone calls for about an hour where we would go over everything which needed to be completed. However, on many occasions, we would have to re-explain what we were asking for. We had to re-explain what needed to be done.

We also had to stay on top of tasks to be completed. There was no Project Management software during our brief time with the company. Mostly everything was done via email. You have to make sure to take notes during your conversation in order to ensure everything you talked about is accomplished.

The point of the conversation was for their team to listen in on what needs to be done and then complete the task. Which we assumed meant they would be taking notes. So, either they were taking notes and not following through on everything or they were trying to remember what needed to be done.

They would be far more effective if they were to utilize a project management software to better keep track of the what can end up being thousands of documents, reviews, changes, and communications in one place for better referencing

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We found their ability to take limited resources and churn out in the first draft conceptual images which really nailed an image and brand we were going for. We were unable to take it any farther to really see what else they could do which is why this is mentioned twice in this review

Are there any areas for improvement?

Yes. The company needs to improve on its ability to manage tasks, assignments and accomplishing what they say they will on time. Missing deadlines is a big area for improvement. Consistently missing deadlines and not communicating prior to missing them was the number reason for our separation.

It is very difficult and costly to call meetings for employees and set aside time when the company would miss the meeting with no prior notice. It may have been okay if we could have the meeting on the go on our phones, but we have to physically be in front of a computer. This means you will lose your own personal time and the cost of an employee or manager if they have to come in for the meeting.

Additionally, deadlines were missed on a regular for ads or graphics with no prior notice. We would have to get a hold of them to see what happen only to discover it would take longer.

Again, this would be fine but when we are on a strict deadline for shopping seasons and such it cost us money every day we are not live with the campaign. Especially when the deadlines exceed weeks past. So definitely there is an area for improvement in communication and meeting deadlines

We do want to mention that this review is not meant to disparage, defame, or denigrate the reputation, character, image, or service of the company, but to speak of our experience in a constructive way. They did a great job creating work. They just need to improve on deadlines and communication

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO Founder of an e-commerce company and digital website.

For what projects/services did your company hire LYFE Marketing?

Social Media Marketing and Management, and email campaigns and management.

What were your goals for this project?

Target specific buyers and profiles, increase engagement and sales. Build brand awareness.

How did you select LYFE Marketing?

Online research.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

This company is a total sham. Misses deadlines, causes coding errors, loses emails, and does zero effective buyer profiling and target marketing. Missed my launch deadline, a holiday promotion deadline, an email marketing campaign set up deadline, and did not adjust any of my marketing spend to a more detailed target audience after I expressed concern.

Paid for 2 months of complete garbage, then blocked them from my billing card. I actually had a "supervisor" snob come on the phone and tell me missing deadlines and losing emails or delays were all "part of social marketing". Said it like she really believed it also!

Delivering your clients everything delayed is an acceptable way of doing business to this company, as long as they eventually do it, who cares when it's done. Glad this supervisor does not own her own business or she would be out of business.

Actually, it's probably why she doesn't. I asked for a refund of half my total spend and for a campaign never activated and was told they would be "kind enough" to let me out of my contract early and not charge me a third month.

Like with all these red flags in the beginning, anyone would want to continue on and have more consistent errors with their money?

Currently filing a complaint with the BBB and disputing all of my charges for their total lack of respect and accountability now, I was actually hung up on for voicing my concerns and was told by this supervisor she " could not deal with an escalation, or deal with threats". WTF are you doing in a supervisory role then?

Requesting a refund for services not delivered, in the manner they should be delivered in, in the time frame they are supposed to be delivered in is a threat to this company.

Do not give them your money or hire them for your social media marketing or management and email campaigns, unless you want to be told you are a threat for voicing concern over your hard earned business money.

Already with another company who gave me 2 fully detailed presentations, and laid out an entire marketing plan to target my exact needs, audience, and demographics. They also have not missed any deadlines as you would expect from an actual business.

Wish I could remember the supervisors name to put her out there, but she probably will be fired for doing a crap job with clients soon anyway. By the way the boss, has zero balls to speak with upset clients as well, good luck with any escalations in that area if needed.

What was the team composition?

Sales Manager who gave a generic presentation and proposal, and an Account Manager. I never spoke to anyone but her on the team.

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

I saw zero results and they consistently missed deadlines.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication between us was not the issue.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They got Marcus Lemonis to appear and endorse this piece of garbage company.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Telling clients that delivering things consistently late is an acceptable way of doing business "as long as it gets done" leaves some room for improvement.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Clater-Kaye Studios.

What challenge were you trying to address with LYFE Marketing?

We’re a new company and we needed to create and design a website that looked more than just a brochure online.

What was the scope of their involvement?

LYFE Marketing not only helps us with design and creating the website, but they also create ads and help us market in a more efficient way through Google and social media. The ads they create are videos to help people get to know our business, as well as integrate us into Google SEO. The team also helps us with general branding.

What is the team composition?

We work with Anthony (Business Development Specialist), Morgan (Account Manager), and two others.

How did you come to work with LYFE Marketing?

They had good reviews and were able to do everything we were looking for. I looked up the websites they had done in the past and matched them with what we were looking for. I liked that they did both marketing and web design.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested between $5,000–$6,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in February 2021 and the work is still ongoing.

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

The reviews that I’ve gotten from people about the site have been phenomenal. People really love the site and it looks very clean and professional. In my opinion, I think the site looks amazing and I love the work that they’ve done. We’re still new, so we’re still trying to build a following. We’ve actually gotten some people outside the country to reach out to us, which is really cool because we didn’t expect to see that until much later down the road.

How did LYFE Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

They have a LYFE Marketing portal on their website that we do most of our communication through or via email as well.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very quick with their responses, which is great.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Our industry isn’t as well known, so I think it was hard to understand.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Add on new things as you go and spread out your budget a little bit as opposed to putting everything on in the first go.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a publishing company. 

What challenge were you trying to address with LYFE Marketing?

We needed help in digital marketing.

What was the scope of their involvement?

LYFE managed our social media and email marketing campaigns. 

What is the team composition?

I worked with an account manager and a project manager. 

How did you come to work with LYFE Marketing?

I saw them on a TV show, and they also came up when I was looking for marketing companies. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent over $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2020. Our contract runs until February 2021, but I’ve already terminated our partnership. 

Describe the impact this engagement has had on your business. 

LYFE’s work negatively impacted my business. They missed the mark on who our audience was. They failed to deliver, and their work was so poor in quality that they even misspelled some content. It was as if they were deliberately trying to fail. 

How was project management handled?

We constantly had to remind LYFE’s team about their tasks. Their approach was predatory — they were no where as good as how they were described on their online reviews. I just didn’t pursue legal action because the contract amount wasn’t worth the trouble. 

LYFE started missing deadlines as early as the second week of our engagement. They hid behind excuses and delivered terrible work. I informed LYFE that I was displeased with their services, but they insisted that I was on a contract with them.

The issue escalated to their senior leadership, but nothing happened. 

Is there anything that the vendor did well or that you would consider a strength?

I don’t have anything good to say about this company. There was nothing right with our partnership with LYFE. They didn’t stand by their word and contract. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They didn’t know how marketing works — they were just running a hyped scam. They always blamed somebody else for their failures, and they never took accountability for their work. They didn’t even have a way to measure their success — they couldn’t provide any metrics at all.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Call one of their references before engaging with them. That way, you’ll know their work doesn’t accomplish any results and that they don’t have the necessary processes for a successful partnership.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the co-owner of a small-town restaurant in Kentucky. We do some deliveries depending on how far away clients are from us.

What challenge were you trying to address with LYFE Marketing?

We’re fairly new to the environment and were trying to get expand our reach. We didn’t know how to do it, so we looked up social media firms.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started the engagement with the management of our Facebook account. We wanted to post pictures regularly but didn’t know exactly what to say in order to attract the attention of college kids. Later on, we added Ad Words search-engine advertising to LYFE Marketing’s list of services.

How did you come to work with LYFE Marketing?

I made a Google search and LYFE Marketing was one of the first results which popped up. I talked to a couple of others, but LYFE seemed to be the friendliest one. Another reason for choosing LYFE Marketing was that they didn’t charge us extra for advertisements.

How much have you invested with LYFE Marketing?

The cost of their services is around $1,000 per month, so the total spend has been a bit over $12,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with LYFE Marketing around the 4^th of July, 2016.

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

We’ve been working with LYFE Marketing for about a year and have been very happy with the results. College kids are constantly telling us how funny our Facebook posts are. Before working with them, we’d see a couple of people stopping by our restaurant from time to time and we used to go to local college bars and hand out fliers, but that obviously wasn’t doing it.

My husband handles numbers, and he’s been extremely happy with the results. We haven’t lost any money from this.

How did LYFE Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

My husband and I had some personal issues for about a month, and we didn’t have time to call LYFE Marketing and talk about what we wanted to be posted. We told them the situation and they continued to work for us without additional contact and did everything right on top of that. We thought that they would go in a completely different direction, but they did exactly what we wanted when it came to our social media and advertising. It helped us a lot.

Are there any areas LYFE Marketing could improve?

I’ve been very happy with them.

What tips or recommendations could you share that might increase the likelihood of success with LYFE Marketing?

In the beginning, their team will ask questions about how the client wants their social media to be seen. I would definitely recommend paying attention to those details, and once that is done, LYFE Marketing will know exactly what you want and bring results from it.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We’re Knotty Wood Barbecue Company. We manufacture almond wood barbecue pellets. Recently, we created plum wood pellets too.

What challenge were you trying to address with LYFE Marketing?

We’re a small company that launched in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to reach our customers and needed help reaching the largest audience possible.

What was the scope of their involvement?

LYFE Marketing works on social media advertising, PPC, and SEO campaigns. They not only manage ad space on Facebook, Instagram, and Google but also design and create ads for us. For any initiatives on social platforms and Google Ads, their team’s our partner.

A home improvement company offers our products for free shipping. LYFE Marketing had to come up with ways to capture users through the Facebook Pixel and send traffic to our website but also drive traffic to the home improvement company’s page.

What is the team composition?

We primarily communicate with our account manager. He works with designers, but we don’t directly interact with them.

How did you come to work with LYFE Marketing?

We did a broad Internet search because we previously worked with local agencies but wanted to partner with a company that had a broader reach across the US. We had a super helpful call with a salesperson from LYFE Marketing. He immersed himself in our brand before we even talked on the phone. He made a thoughtful presentation with ways the LYFE Marketing team could help us.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $3,500 on their services so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in February 2021, and our partnership’s ongoing.

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

Their team has exceeded our expectations. In the last month, we literally tripled our sales. Right off the bat, sales have accelerated to such a great extent. As we haven't even reached barbecue season and achieved these results, I’m really looking forward to seeing what they can do in the rest of the year.

How did LYFE Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

We have weekly meetings with our account manager via Zoom and use Google Docs, which works with our internal systems. We constantly have discussions about where campaigns stand and sales updates because we don’t have visibility into sales from the home improvement company’s website. Their team’s giving us updates about sales and search terms every day.

What did you find most impressive about them?

For the size of the organization, I’m surprised that LYFE Marketing's truly hands-on with their customers. I previously worked with companies that treated us as just one of many clients. We always feel like we’re LYFE Marketing’s only client even though we’re not. Every single day, their team’s invested in our project

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, we’re so incredibly thrilled with them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Give their team all of the information they need upfront to help them understand your company’s challenges and goals. Communicate your needs and then ask a lot of questions along the way.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a social media influencer in the wellness and beauty industry.

What challenge were you trying to address with Lyfe Marketing?

I run my own business, so I needed additional help to manage my website and implement some of my marketing and branding strategies.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They oversee my budget for Facebook and Instagram ads, keeping me up to date on what I spend each month. A member of their team also oversees the technical management of my newsletter and blogging site. This includes a la carte projects like creating custom banner ads to support ad campaigns or posting new blog content when I’m promoting a brand sponsorship. I write my own content and provide any photos, but their team assembles all the pieces on the backend and uploads them to my site. With the newsletter, they implemented my design for a template and now I provide them with the monthly content that needs to be inserted. They also handle sending out the mass emails for me.

In addition to the technical things, they also help manage my social media accounts in order to increase engagement on my profiles and build my following. This mostly involves reaching out to other social influencers in my industry and interacting with followers.

What is the team composition?

I have an account manager and two other staff members working with me, and then one of the partners at the company also handles my account.

How did you come to work with Lyfe Marketing?

I found them through an online search. I wanted a company that clearly understood how to use SEO effectively since that’s such a critical component of online marketing. After looking at their website and at some Facebook reviews, I called them to see how they could meet my needs.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent less than $10,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

They started working with me at the end of October 2017 and the work is ongoing.

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

They’ve successfully increased my followings across Facebook, Instagram, and my blog. Instagram has shown the most growth, which is partially due to their work, although there were other factors involved as well.

How did Lyfe Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

My account manager is always clear, concise, and organized. She does a good job of overseeing my account and handling all the communication to ensure there aren’t any issues. The rest of their team is very strong as well, although there’s one person who is sometimes not prompt with things.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve provided exactly what I needed. The whole experience has felt very customized to my goals. I can come up with an idea or a vision for my brand and as long as I’m clear in how I communicate it, they’re able to bring it to life.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’ve streamlined the process now, but when we first started out there was one team member who always seemed unprepared or missed deadlines. After I expressed my concern and worked with that person one on one, I saw an improvement, although I still sometimes feel a little bit like they’re not as on top of things as they could be.

One other thing I’d like to see is a bit more guidance for their clients in terms of giving advice about how to increase growth. Sometimes it’s very one-sided, with me supplying the ideas for where to take marketing campaigns next or how to grow the brand. It’d be nice if they took a more collaborative approach.

In addition, I feel like they’re a little limited as my brand continues to grow. I’m going to need support from someone who has more experience helping bloggers and influencers scale up their businesses, and who’s familiar with the networks of potential sponsors.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They do an excellent job of realizing and implementing your ideas, but you need to be the leader and come up with your own strategies for where to go next with your brand.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We are a business in Georgia providing all types of massages, including full-body, Thai, and so on. I am the general manager of the company.

What challenge were you trying to address with LYFE Marketing?

We wanted to develop our customer base and thought about social media marketing. We were doing well in our city, but we wanted to extend our reach.

What was the scope of their involvement?

LYFE Marketing is helping us manage our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. Starting in 2016, they have also been providing SEO services. They are also managing our website and replying to customer messages. They post on our social media profiles, create fliers, and are responsible for everything else.

We have a meeting every month, during which we discuss our advertising. LYFE Marketing’s team has access to all our accounts, but they get approval from us before doing anything.

How did you come to work with LYFE Marketing?

Sherman Standberry, their cofounder, sent us an email about the business. We found him to be honest, so we had an initial meeting, and decided to onboard LYFE Marketing as our social media team. We have collaborated well so far.

How much have you invested with LYFE Marketing?

The cost of LYFE Marketing’s services is around $1,000 per month.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with LYFE Marketing in May 2014. The work is ongoing.

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

We have a landing page in place for customers visiting the store, but the inquiries there are not necessarily equal to the people visiting our location. We receive around 30 leads per month from the site. We have reached top positions in Google search results.

How did LYFE Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

I have been in contact with Sherman [Standberry, COO and co-founder] and his partner. They are very responsible and have a lot of patience. They can provide creative opinions, and have a lot of knowledge on Google search, Instagram, and general social media. They’ve met our deadlines.

What did you find most impressive about LYFE Marketing?

I simply trust their team and have no complaints. Sherman has become a friend, and we talk all the time. I will continue working with LYFE Marketing.

Are there any areas LYFE Marketing could improve?

I don’t have anything at this point.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

My company does branding, marketing, and strategy. STIRR stands for strategy, tactics, ideation, research, and results. We offer our clients all of that primarily for packaged goods branding. 

What challenge were you trying to address with LYFE Marketing?

I had clients with social media needs, and I provide those services, but I subcontract them. Social media is a specialty. What I do is marketing strategy, and social comes up, of course, as a part of the strategy. If I develop a marketing plan, social and interactive are tied to that, and I'm going to choose an agency that specializes in that, which is how I use LYFE Marketing. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

I have worked with LYFE Marketing for at least three of my clients. I recommended LYFE Marketing to one of my clients, and I think they’re still working together. I work in health and beauty aids, so LYFE Marketing worked with two health and beauty aids companies, and then they worked with another customer service company. With one company, they worked directly with that client. With the other two or three, they worked with me, but they were totally responsible for all of the social media. They built two of the three cases from scratch. They took businesses that didn't have any social pages, and they built them some. One of them was a blog with a brand, website, etc. that they built from nothing. In three months, I think they had something like 50,000 followers and visitors. I think the most robust client they worked on was the one I recommended them to, but I don't have those details. That was the largest company, which had existing social; from what the client told me, LYFE Marketing did some nice building of their social pages and website visits, but I don't have those numbers.

With Regrow, LYFE Marketing worked to reface the brand. They gave them totally new packaging and built them a social presence. (They had none, although the brand had been out for probably 7 or 8 years.) I think LYFE worked with Regrow for about 18 months, and then the Regrow guy got sick, and the company closed. I gave Regrow a marketing plan, and they didn't want to spend a lot of money, so I said, “Here’s where you need to spend the money that you're going to spend on the interactive and social.” What LYFE Marketing did was update their look and give them a brand new website. They set up all of their social pages, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. For the monthly programs or promotions that we would execute, I would discuss those with LYFE’s team based on what we wanted to achieve. If we wanted to push a particular product that month—say a shampoo and conditioner or the Regrow product itself, which was formulated for African American hair—we would talk about the product push. LYFE Marketing’s team would come up with some ideas of how to push it through Facebook. They really integrated all of the social efforts. Facebook would integrate with Instagram, and then sometimes Instagram would integrate with Snapchat. LYFE Marketing would create those monthly social executions based on marketing strategy, and we would do monthly recaps with the client, who was always pleased with LYFE Marketing. That’s why I continue to recommend them. Regrow’s new website was developed from scratch and built on an entirely new framework and platform. The website was built either on WordPress or Joomla.

How did you come to work with LYFE Marketing?

I cannot remember who recommended LYFE Marketing to me. What I was looking for was a group of young men or women who were just starting out and understood the landscape better than I did. This was about 8 years ago, and at that point I didn't know much about social. I met with three social media companies, including LYFE Marketing, which had the most infrastructure. The founders are two brothers, and they had a team of people working with them. They had the design elements for all of the creative pieces. Out of the three companies that I met, LYFE Marketing had the best infrastructure. I had the best energy with them, and I thought they were the most hungry, to be honest.

How much have you invested with LYFE Marketing?

I think LYFE’s fee was something like $1,500 a month, and building the website was a separate fee.

What is the status of this engagement?

I think the Regrow project lasted for about a year. I think we started working together in December of 2015, and the project ended around December of 2016. 

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or impact of the engagement?

I know in the first month with Regrow, LYFE Marketing got something close to 8,000 views driven through Instagram and Facebook, which I thought was phenomenal. Facebook was around 6,000. I thought that was great for the first month for this specialty area. Sometimes, people don't want to address issues like hair loss. But, LYFE Marketing performed phenomenally. Regrow’s following continued to build each month, though not at that rate, of course. To me, that was a good sign. Each month would pick up 1,000 to 1,500 additional views, visits, or followers.

How did LYFE Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

LYFE Marketing is good with project management, which impressed me. They’re young, not that that matters, but they’re also guys, who are not the timeliest or most organized. They were never late for an assignment, ever. I can't ever remember when we were supposed to have something, and they didn't have it ready. They were good on following through.

What did you find most impressive about LYFE Marketing?

I think what LYFE Marketing does particularly well is listening to the client. I work with a lot of social companies, and there’s so much chatter in a room sometimes that I think I'm in the midst of social media. I've worked with two other social media companies, and I think what LYFE does best is listening. They listen, and then they assess. They didn't just say, “Well you need to do this.” I thought that they were good listeners, which led them to be good strategists. Whenever I worked with them, they always delivered what the client wanted.

Are there any areas LYFE Marketing could improve?

No, I don't think there’s anything LYFE Marketing could improve, based on my work with them. I thought their creativity was pretty strong, but they’re not a creative shop. I thought it was appropriate.
