Pros:

From the start, clear communication was crucial to us, and Brown Bag went above and beyond our expectations. They provided outstanding data, ROI analysis, and insights on market trends.
The staff is outstanding to work with! They are very creative and go above and beyond!
How approachable they are. They also do a great job of communicating to us non-marketing folk.
Laurie was incredibly patient with our ideas and revisions!

Cons:

As a new company working within a tight budget, we faced challenges affording the pricing for multi-channel strategies.
I don't have anything negative to say -- great company and creative staff!
I really would have loved if they would have just not charged us - I think we are so much fun that all the invoicing could've been brushed aside!
I look forward to meeting others working for us behind the scenes. :)

Overall Experience: One of the best decisions made by Auxilia in our short history was to partner with Brown Bag Marketing. The team, led by Laurie and Dan Michaels has been nothing short of amazing. There are so many areas I can focus on, but I think there are two things that stick out to me. 1 - Our team lead, led by Kim Trubey listens to us, offers us suggestions in the most classy and professional way. She isn't afraid to get in the middle of things with us, she has taken the time to get to know the team, our company, and our culture and I think what she has created for Auxilia, with her team, is indicative of her dedication and support. We constantly get positive feedback on our marketing materials and social presence, and we have them to thank for that!!! 2 - Brown Bag always gives us the proper people for the project. They have experts on Social, branding, website design, analytics, etc.....and I love that they bring in team members when needed. They have far exceeded my every expectation and candidly, their team has become our family. We wouldn't want to grow our company without them by our side. They make us better! Thank you my friends!!

Overall Experience: I think that what distinguishes Brown Bag Marketing from other firms is their emphasis on solving problems versus just getting a contract in place. In the contracting phase, we worked directly with one of the owners of the firm (Dan Michaels). Over the course of multiple engagements, we found that the scoping part of the project provided immediate value by helping us to clarify what should be done in tangible next steps. I also knew that I could call Dan anytime I had any issue with delivery. There was just a feeling of trust that made it easy to have open communication. If/when we had a radical change in the project objectives or hit a roadbump in delivery (whether it involved Brown Bag or not), I could call them. I brought our CEO to meet with Dan over lunch and we ended up discussing challenges we faced across our business, not just marketing. Simply stated, they delivered results with no drama.

Overall Experience: The Brown Bag Marketing team was outstanding from day one. They continually delivered over ask and offered great marketing, UX, and UI insights into how to package and deliver our content in the most user friendly and contemporary way. We had crazy positive client comments coming in from the first day our site went live. From the photography and videography, to the company branding, site lay-out and navigation, Brown Bag Marketing did a spectacular job for All Points. Lastly, from the top down the BBM people are awesome to work with and I am looking forward to working with them on new projects in the future.

Overall Experience: The Brown Bag Marketing team has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. Since the first day we started working with them, they truly dedicated time to understand our business, target audience, as well as our internal team members. Specifically, Kim Trubey and Laurie Michaels have gone above and beyond with every single marketing strategy we requested. Kim has taken on our entire social media strategy and has done phenomenal work. She has fully built out our content calendar and has found ways to engage our followers and attract new viewers within every social channel. The BBM team has taken every project we threw at them and excelled tremendously. From revamping our website, building our social media strategy, and sales collateral, they have given us proven results, while also making it fun!

Overall Experience: The team was talented, timely and fun! With the "just help us make it better" level of direction we provided, BBM was able to take our current assets and improve upon them within a matter of days. They were also instrumental in helping us get ready for our first conference exhibit space; designing and ordering booth displays, print material and goodies to hand out. Will absolutely call upon Laurie and team for our next project - big or small!

Overall Experience: We started using Brown Bag Marketing around May of 2021 and so far working with them has been amazing. Dan, Kelly, Jessica, Jerry & Jason provide exceptional service in everything that they do. Dan & Kelly especially truly go above and beyond to ensure we are happy and our marketing is running smoothly. They stay on top of communication. They are not only attentive to their clients' needs, but also very friendly, compassionate and patient. Working with them, the marketing process has been very seamless and easy. I would recommend their services to anyone who is looking for a marketing firm in the ATL area.
