Oh Comrade! Where to even begin? American Tent worked with Comrade initially for our new website and then for digital marketing. If you want to be pushed to the very limit of what your company is capable of--and then see that you can actually do so much more, the tough lovers at Comrade are for you. They look at all aspects of your brand with unsentimental eyes, calmly evaluate the state of your business, and then develop a plan that will get results. And it's not just a plan: It's a multi-strategy approach. When you work with Comrade, you get one or two people who are your account managers and then what feels like an army of behind the scenes workers who seem to be superhumanly passionate about things like SEO, aesthetics, content, and UX. There's no such thing as "good enough" for Comrade, so if you're looking to take a more passive role in the development of your business/brand/website, find a "good enough" agency. If you want your site running at its peak potential, hire Comrade. You will undoubtedly run the gamut of emotions throughout your journey with Comrade--from annoyance to admiration to wondering who is working for who. It's all in aid of your company being the best it can be. And it's totally worth it.October 26, 2021

Overall Experience: Comrade is not just the best web development and marketing company I have ever worked with. Comrade is one of the best vendors I have ever used in my 15 year business career. Comrade has an understanding of the customer service needs of a small to medium sized business customer. Rarely do you see companies who have this. Whatever Comrade is doing to run their business internally so businesses like mine can stay on focused on what we need to do each day, please, keep doing it. Keep this up, and you'll be stuck with me as a customer of your for a very long time!

Overall Experience: We hired Comrade Web Agency to help us with our SEO/PPC strategy to drive more qualified leads for our website. Secondly, we needed a new approach that refreshed our image online and ensured that we’re always staying competitive. While working with Comrade Web Agency, we really enjoyed how proactive they were. We had constant communication with Margo, our Account Manager. They were always prepared. We were able to significantly increase our qualified leads. Currently, we’re more confident in our ability to grow comes next season.

Overall Experience: We have been working with Comrade off and on for the last almost 3 years (off and on due to COVID constraints placed on the business), but solidly for the last 8 months. I won't work with anyone else, they have been great!! They are professional, punctual, and clever. I would like to single out Maria. She is our account manager and has been a pleasure to work with, and I know we are not always the easiest client to have...... truly remarkable work, I/we highly recommend Comrade.

Overall Experience: We have been working with Comrade Digital Marketing for seven years, and I wouldn't think of using anyone else. Year after year, they have delivered high quality prospective clients, allowing us to be more selective in choosing clients we want to work with. Everyone I have worked with at Comrade has demonstrated technical expertise and excellent responsiveness. They have also been patient with me -- an older attorney who doesn't speak or understand tech. Bottom line: they have made us a lot of money and been a pleasure to work with. I recommend them with enthusiasm and appreciation!
