Overall Experience: My name is Anaïs and I work for GURU Organic Energy, a Montreal-based company with offices in California. We were looking for a US field agency with a strong strategic thinking for an important project and we chose Evolve Activation. I can happily say that we have only good words about them; they made things happen for us and our project which was a success led us to more opportunities. Hard work, great communication, solution-oriented, well organized, amazing team, perfect brand ambassadors and I could go on and on. I strongly recommend this agency; you won't regret it!
