We really looked into everyone and we decided not to hire anyone. If our campaign hits a slow spot, then we can reach out. Which my campaign for RokPak might be getting to that point right now.
Also you don't want to sign them from the beginning, because they will take commission on all the family, friends and hard work that you will drive to the campaign in the beginning.
I have had advice from a project who raised over 1 Million.
They said they only hired an agency like Funded Today AFTER they used their own resources. They used every resource and lead that they developed, had the start to a successful campaign, then negotiated with the agencies.
If you start with them you have no leverage. If you go to them with some success they will negotiate with you and also won't get commission on what you have already raised.
Hopefully this advice I was given will work, I might be reaching out to some agencies soon so I will definitely give an update in here.
