Overall Experience: I cannot say enough about the quality of service provided to our organization by REQ. We are an international film festival, an annual city-wide cultural event. Our success is dependent upon promoting our program to as many people as possible. We had been using traditional vehicles such as newspapers and emails until we obtained the service of REQ. Their focus on social media helped us reach new, targeted audiences, and our attendance increased. I highly recommend REQ.
