I am a fractional CEO operating at multiple companies and brought in Func.media. They have been a pleasure to work with and gave me the capability to focus on my job knowing that the marketing, website and social media were all in good hands. I brought them to several companies with the same positive results. In many ways they helped bolster the bottom line and made me look great to the boards I answered too. I highly recommend their services for an all encompassing approach to marketing. They get it. March 24, 2021

Pros:

  • Professionalism. Service. Speed at delivery and meeting deadlines.
  • They were the strategy, the planning, the delivery, and the analysis for every campaign and every launch. They also went above and beyond the marketing scope and frequently supported us with product-related matters too which proved invaluable to our team based across the pond.

Cons:

  • None, they’ve delivered for us time and time again for several years.
  • None. We rarely work with teams that have all the creative and ideating skills to come up with unique marketing ideas, but also have all the execution and project management skills to deliver everything on time and on budget.

Overall Experience: Anyone who has used func.media is unlikely to look elsewhere any time they need work done in the digital marketing space. They never fail to exceed expectations. They fully developed our digital brand from the ground up. They designed our logo, designed and built our website and developed content that communicates the essence of our brand. They are also extremely disciplined with timelines. Not once, have they missed a timeline and we have done a lot of work together over the years. Scope and deadlines are communicated clearly and executed upon flawlessly. Expectations are clear and they always exceed them. They are very flexible with communication methods and are very responsive. Frankly, I cannot say that I have ever been able to identify an area for improvement. Their service to me has always been better than what I expected going into it.

Overall Experience: I have worked with the Func team since 2018, and on projects spanning Canada, the US and Mexico. They are, in my opinion, the best content creators in Canada. I rely on the Func team to service both my own businesses, as well as client brand partner projects for everything content, branding, and go-to market strategy related. Thank you Chase and the rest of the Func squad!

Overall Experience: When we sought to build a recognizable brand across the USA and acquire digital customers for our games, func.media was our go-to. A referral led us to them, and we couldn't be happier. Their team integrated seamlessly with ours, providing comprehensive marketing support that went beyond campaign planning and analysis. They also offered invaluable product-related aid. Our partnership resulted in a robust US brand presence, with tens of thousands of game downloads and a flourishing social media community. They leveraged their unique blend of creative ideation and exemplary project management to deliver results on time and under budget. We relished our interaction via virtual meetings and messaging apps, appreciating their responsiveness despite time zone differences. In all aspects, func.media exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to collaborate with them again for our next game launch.

Overall Experience: We’ve been working with different marketing companies that overpromise and underdeliver, and func.media is the complete opposite of that. They’ve grown our email list massively in a short period — we have thousands of users waiting to use our app. Our social media channels’ numbers have effectively increased as well — we get tens of thousands of visitors every month. Their team comes prepared to our meetings every week with an organized agenda, making every encounter meaningful. They’re also top-notch in delivering analytics about the campaigns we’re running. They’re not just going to help you with your marketing needs; their team will help you anticipate your business’ future and capitalize on emerging trends. I can trust them in being an extension of our team that can do anything I need.

Overall Experience: Absolutely unbelievable level of skill, professionalism and speed. Hired to build a website with very short notice and they not only completed the site within our desired timeframe, but far exceed our expectations in terms of design quality and features. Very straightforward communication throughout and so easy to work with. Will certainly be working with Func.media again in the near future for our upcoming projects. Can't recommend enough. 6 stars.

Overall Experience: Very creative digital content and art created for my website, online store and video promotion/commercial. Best part about the team at Func is very high-level comprehension of my corporate mission and how to translate it into promotional digital content. No massaging of substantive content required, they really understand what we're doing. I think the leadership knows how to listen and has pulse of the marketplace.
