Top Inbound Marketing Agencies in Portland

After I retired from Nike in 2019, I started 6453 ALUMNI, a network for former Nike colleagues and retired Nike-sponsored athletes to connect from all over the world. Having worked at Nike with Matt Watson in the past, I was really interested in involving him and his agency in some of the events we were planning for 6453 ALUMNI. Watson quickly became experiential in our global sustainability organization. They were able to get people to understand that we needed to work as a team and come together to make our sustainability project possible. The innovation team, which was about creating the future of materials, was super involved from strategy to execution. It was done absolutely beautifully. Watson also helped bring our materials and innovation projects to life. They made a huge impact not only on our audience but also on our jobs as creators in sustainability. Through the visuals, through the copy. The way everything came together really showed the quality of creative and strategy Watson brings. Nike has a very high level of design integrity. They only hire the best of the best. So having a partner who knows what that looks and feels like, is like working with a friend. Matt has created an agency that is very aligned with that. He has been an important strategic thought-partner in creating our brand for Alumni. For these reasons, I highly recommend Watson Creative to anyone who is considering working with a creative agency.

I was initially referred to Mr. Chris Vacano by a mutual friend. This recommendation was made to me following a crash of my business website due to an attempted brute force entry into it's control panel by hacker of disguised identity. The marketing company that created my website was in the process of moving its corporate offices from California to South Carolina and required an outrageous fee to just evaluate the situation and the web hosting company maintaining my site was disinterested and minimally helpful. Chris evaluated my situation and implemented measures to get my site back up and running. He then implemented measures to insure that my website was secure with an array of "state of the art" security and authentication measures to insure that I had full control and safety of my website. This included a complete duplicate rewrite of my website using a superior website development platform. I learned the hard way that security of a business website is of utmost importance and if you are going to spend big bucks on a website the developer better know how to secure it and keep it secure. My positive experience with Chris in these regards along with his reasonable fees has earned my trust and has caused me to request his services in other areas including search engine optimization, social media marketing, and messaging refinement, all of which are now ongoing. I believe in personal relationships with people that are highly competent, enthusiastic, honest, trustworthy, and CREATIVE. I have found Chris to have met this criteria entirely.
