We had the experience of working with this agency during our crowdfunding campaign. On september first we found this agency through a quick google search regarding PR firms for crowdfunding marketing. A man named Roy Butts took the call with me. Overall, my impression of the call was that it was quick and effective. We took the leap and signed a $3,000 contract with them over the course of a month long campaign. Our goal on kickstarter was $50,000 which we believed was a reasonable raise considering our track record.

Communication was on par with what we have come to expect from agencies. Not good, not bad. In terms of the results we were pleased, as I thought it was a reasonable end result. 10 websites featured us as a result of their work and I have no complaints. During our period of contact with them, they updated us once per day and honestly I would have liked 3-5 daily updates.

PR was a crucial factor for our kickstarter campaign. We had the advertisement planned in house, and later ended up working with Funded Today for that channel (more on that later). The 10 media features we got were in our space, in well read tech blogs. Nothing too huge, which was to be expected (we launched with a keychain product). I asked them for a refund just to see, and my request was denied. I always ask for refunds regardless of the result provided by the agency just to be safe, and just to keep them on their toes.

In conclusion, I do recommend this agency with a firm caveat that you must have a solid product.
