Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the COO of Game Gym, the leading esports training and broadcast center in the DC metro area.
For what projects/services did your company hire We Are HeadStart, and what were your goals?
We needed assistance creating a pitch deck for investors, gaining media coverage for our company and programs, and developing an extensive marketing campaign for our summer camps.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
I knew Michael (founder) because of the work he had done for another startup. That work was excellent, and he offered us a very reasonable price, since we were an early-stage startup.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.
- HeadStart PR took our existing outline for an investor pitch deck and re-designed it, re-worked the text, and delivered an excellent finished product.
- HeadStart PR has successfully secured several news articles about Game Gym in the local and national press.
- HeadStart PR led the process to develop, from scratch, a complete marketing plan for our 2022 summer camps program.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We worked directly with the founder, Michael, but I know that other company resources were brought to bear "behind the scenes."
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
- The investor pitch deck has generated significant interest and received several compliments.
- HeadStart PR has successfully secured several news articles about Game Gym in the local and national press.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Michael was proactive in leading the efforts that he was tasked with. They were incredibly responsive, both in terms of speed and in terms of making the adjustments that we requested.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Not just pretty words and design -- HeadStart PR actually gets results, in a very short period of time.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
No complaints at all so far!
