Cons:

  • The worst thing I can think of is that one time they had a poor internet connection that made our video call lag a little bit. They have been amazing.

  • We didn't experience anything negative in our projects.

  • They exceeded my expectations so I have no feedback at this time.

  • Tough to think of a "con". I with they did more in the B2C world, but I understand their reasons for focusing on the B2B category.

Pros:
Creative. Responsive. Professional. I've enjoyed the many conversations we've had and continue to have over branding, the look and delivery of our information, new ways to inspire and engage sponsors and families. I find my best ideas are made better by Billy, Matt and the team. Their knowledge of technology has also made our jobs easier. Their creative ideas are simply brilliant.
Cons:
Really - I have to say it? Okay - Billy is a TALKER - and when he is motivated by a project or business he loves, he is unstoppable in describing how he sees it all coming together. You WILL learn why and how to make your project a success. He wants you to understand how terrific you are - and where he wants to take you. Just let him. 8-)

Pros:
STOUT is a permanent partner to HAI because they are ever developing rich and effective go-to-market strategies that always return an ROI. They go way behind a typical agency by always considering how to best position HAI and what is best for us, not them. True partners and great friends.
Cons:
Over the 5 years we have been with STOUT Creative, we have challenged them and leaned on them more and more for their expertise. They consistently meet that challenge. That is why they have been our partner for five years. The "con" is not on STOUT but on HAI as we should have leveraged their excellence from the very beginning.

Overall Experience: STOUT Creative is a top provider of creative services to my business. Their team's approach yields some of the best creative I've ever seen in my 24 years in business. Never content with the first draft of concepts, they continually prod, poke and test the creative during the scope of each project, each time resulting in a final product that leaps far beyond run-of-the-mill design and creative. If you're looking for a team who thinks "outside the box", I highly recommend STOUT to you.

Overall Experience: We have been working with the Stout Creative team for several years and very pleased with their service and professionalism. As a start up in 2015, I was in need of an organization that could help with my website and marketing. After listening to my ideas, the Stout Creative team showed a tremendous amount of flexibility to make it work and bring my vision to reality. Whether it be web development, design, Hubspot integration, or anything in between, the Stout Creative team was there every step of the way to satisfy my wants and needs so I could serve my clients effectively. Now, after 8 years of steady growth, we are expanding into new markets and verticals and I look forward to working with Stout Creative for many years to come.

Overall Experience: We work directly with Billy Mitchell and Matt Albert at Stout Creative, through the work with do with a mutual client -- and we absolutely LOVE their work! Billy is a natural at strategic planning; he is very creative, and has a real passion for his work. We work closely with Matt as well. Matt worked to rebuild this client's website -and we continue to work with Stout to update content, create web pages and showcase the work done by our mutual client, the American Association of Adapted Sports Programs, Inc. Matt is also super creative, executing the ideas we have all brainstormed together on the website as well as helping us to build and share their brand. The video work done by both Billy and Matt at Stout last year for the ASPIRE Awards program the organization hosts was outstanding, and a lasting legacy to the program. We would highly recommend Stout Creative to anyone looking to partner with an agency who not only cares about their clients, but can deliver on their ideas.
