Top Email Marketing Agencies in Boston

As a commercial real estate firm, our ability to organize and market property is the core of our business model. When the time came to make a serious investment in our own web-based inventory search platform, we did some serious research. Our functionality requirements were lengthy and complex. Over a span of several months, we interviewed web design and development companies from across the Country (Chicago to NYC). Although every prospective vendor demonstrated a comprehensive portfolio of accomplishments, it was Michael Hernandez at Rocket Marketing & Design who stood out from the rest. Michael and his team took the time to understand our business model and convert our wants and needs into a fully functioning and well crafted digital platform. These guys design and develop with the future in mind. The team even interviewed various hosting providers and helped us choose the best vendor to fully support our new website. They handled the entire "Go Live" launch and mitigated every technical issue along the way. If your firm is serious about having a web presence, then we highly recommend Michael Hernandez and his team at Rocket Marketing and Design.

We hired Dedicated Developers to help us build and design both hardware GPS sensors used in the transportation industry as well as the web application and mobile apps to monitor the sensors. The sensors connect the transportation sector to the Internet of Things (IoT). It was challenging to find developers that had the complete package of skills we needed for this project. Lots of companies had the software skills, but not very many had the hardware skills. We were thrilled when we found Dedicated Developers, because they were able to do both the hardware and software designing for us. The hardware they created are sensors used to monitor a wide variety of things for the transport industry. The sensors can monitor speed, acceleration, elevation, breakdown, GPS route coordinates, and then transmit all the data through the cellular network. Our clients can then see all the data points within the centralized application control panel to fully monitor their cargo. They did a lot of initial research and were able to suggest hardware components and sensors that would be the best configurations that would reduce the costs during mass production. They helped us figure out the best components that are reliable, durable and cost effective, so the total hard costs for each finished sensor goes down, and profits go up. They were able to bring the total cost of each unit down by 21%. They were creative while building the prototype sensors, which they were able to do quickly within a couple months. The software they created to run and monitor the sensors uses the latest cutting-edge technology, and connects our industry to the Internet of Things, which is fast, efficient, responsive and very well designed. The hardware sensors they created for us are top notch, and the monitoring software to run and monitor them has been very well received by our clients. It’s been able to make our company a cutting edge leader in our industry.

They did not help us achieve anything. They tanked performance for currently running campaigns, and any new campaigns they launched did not perform well. They were included in our RFP process because they claimed to have expertise in both B2B marketing and Healthcare Tech marketing. We quickly realized they had neither. Instead of working to optimize campaigns, they continued to increase the target cost per acquisition, causing the quality score of one long-running successful campaign to drop from 8/10 to 2/10 and increasing our CPA of $20 to over $300. They would ask us for advice on how to optimize campaigns in our weekly calls. We handed over a massive amount of reading materials. Everything they asked for - buyer personas, messaging framework, competitive intel. It seemed like they never bothered to read any of it because, after nine months of working with us, they still didn't understand our audiences or products. That was an issue that could have been solved with them just trying a little bit. What could not be solved was the fact they didn't know how to manage paid search campaigns. If you don't know anything about digital marketing, they might be able to fool you. Their team of paid search managers needs training, plain and simple. I had to spend several hours going through the work they did and making notes on how to fix the poor performance - that's what we hired them to do! Fortunately, we are experts in digital marketing, and we just needed people to execute the work, so we realized quickly that they were not helping our business and, in fact, making the situation worse. We did not stay with them for the entire year. They made us pay for one additional month when they didn't do any work and called it "offboarding." They also pad the hours and say they did a lot more than they actually did.

Working with GoingClear on our website development was fantastic! They truly listened to our vision and brought it to life with creativity and responsiveness. The team was always available to answer our many questions, making the process smooth and stress-free. Their professionalism and dedication, to deliver the best product possible while staying within our budget, made them easy and enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend GoingClear for any web development needs!

I can't say enough about the quality of work I have experienced with Boston Web Designers. My first interaction with James and his team was through an ad agency and they provided our out-sourced web-development capabilities. Even though we had in-house creative, design and digital media capabilities, the team at Boston Web Designers still provided strategic collaboration on all of those initiatives - above and beyond just the web development. They are always, thoughtful, strategic, responsive and on-time. When they give you a quote, you can be confident to get the job done right, on-budget and on-time. I almost never give 10 ratings - but could have given them tens across the board. I put down a 9 for value just to avoid ALL 10’s because while they are affordable, you can always find a lower-cost provider. But value is more than cost, and when you look at what Boston Web Designers delivers for their cost, maybe I should have given them an 11 for Value! If you decide to work with Boston Web Designers, you will be glad you did. I know I am.
