There has been a significant improvement. The fact is, until this team went to work, I was unaware of just how bad the prior agency had been performing—and that is saying a lot!. I genuinely believe that when I work well, I become more than just another account for them. They really are extraordinary. March 15, 2024

Pros:

  • Responsiveness, ideas and enthusiasm. General excitement and creative suggestions that made me feel like they were passionate about helping us.
  • Their approach of taking a step back and analyzing our business before even considering a new website design pleased us right away. If they didn't truly know us, how could they possibly create the ideal website design for us? They were also incredibly perceptive and truthful. We had the impression that they genuinely wanted to assist us at every turn! We had a constant sense of security and competence. They went above and beyond what we expected!
  • The quality that I got for the price is pretty substantial. The other businesses I spoke with either had prices that would have compromised the quality of the footage. Despite the fact that I knew I wasn't their most important client, I had the impression that they truly cared for me. It was evident to me that they had done this frequently. They were accommodating when it came to modifying my schedule. They were constantly upbeat, entertaining, and extremely talented, so there was never a discouraging atmosphere. They carried the equipment needed to carry out the actual shot. The lighting was excellent, and the frame and cinematography were appealing. On set, they were also courteous to my customers.
  • They were concerned about devising a novel solution that fit our circumstances. Because of their tiny staff size, we had the impression that they truly understood our predicament.

Cons:

  • Nothing really. The pricing May not be the cheapest but it's certainly not the highest either. Overall the value of what we're getting is impressive.
  • There is nothing we could have done better, in our opinion!
  • So far, we've only had positive encounters with them.
  • No. They have exceeded my expectations, and everything has been wonderful.

Pros:
I feel like I'm more than just another account with CCM, and I mean it. The crew genuinely cares about optimizing our budget and working for my organization. They genuinely care about our expansion, even if it's obviously good business for them if they can increase our advertising expenditure profitably. Our account manager even visited a gaming shop to do market research when we introduced our new product line—it was all her idea. And their ability to handle our ad accounts is evidence of this kind of commitment.
Cons:

Overall Experience: There has been a significant improvement. The fact is, until this team went to work, I was unaware of just how bad the prior agency had been performing—and that is saying a lot!. They rapidly set up tracking, enabling us to make strategic decisions and, for the first time, link income to individual campaigns. They developed fresh programs that outperformed all of the ones we had previously ran in terms of success.

Overall Experience: They did a great job reflecting who I was, which was something I needed in a firm. They encouraged me to submit or review anything as necessary, and they kept me informed about all the milestones. They had an online software system, but I travel a lot. To discuss the remarks on the videos, we also had phone conversations.

Pros:
They’re very proactive designers who conducted thorough research and contributed a number of innovative ideas. Their team is tech-savvy and familiar with market trends, so they offered valuable insights. We communicated clearly and they had an intuitive understanding of our goals. They felt like members of our team.
Cons:
Their creative director became less involved as we moved into the design phase, which caused some communication issues. If their ideas had been presented directly by the creative lead, it may have led to a better solution.

We wish that sometimes they would act a little more proactively and complete tasks instead of asking us questions about it. However, this is very nitpicky on our end.
Cons:
Be as transparent as possible with CommonWealth Creative Marketing as you can. The more honest with them you are, the better they’ll be able to help you. Have clear communication with them and know your requirements.

Pros:
The independence of the CCM team was astounding. Following the establishment of a website vision and the provision of our pitch materials, company background, and team details, CCM quickly and aggressively carried out the plan. They had a thorough understanding on their mission and how we distinguished ourselves from our rivals. Most importantly, their idea for our website was precisely what we required.
Cons:

We convey project details using G Suite and CCM in addition to phone calls and emails.

Overall Experience: After the launch of the redesigned website, we noticed an increase in traffic, we also got more page views of the products. The overall feedback from our community about the new design was positive. The workflow and communication with the team were very smooth and fast. We received emails every day with the description of results, had calls every morning to confirm each stage and discuss possible tricky moments. Also, we could check the process whenever we'd like in Figma.

I found it most impressive how much value they could deliver given our budget! They really dollar-for-dollar delivered so much that it kind of blew us away. And just how fun and trustworthy they are to work with, that was really important too.
Cons:
They could improve a couple bits of design skills with how they made a few of our graphics down at the bottom of the page. Two or three looked like a boilerplate design. Really no big deal given how awesome the work was overall and our small budget.
