Their strategic and proactive approach to PR and social media has helped Pivot3 to compete aggressively against much larger vendors in our highly competitive space by using impactful media relations, social media and thought leadership to shape market awareness and perception. The Idea Grove team handles our PR and social media outreach with intelligence and agility, and continually proposes creative approaches and ideas to enhance our company profile. Despite our long relationship, they have not grown complacent and has delivered results which have grown consistently year on year.

Pros:

  • The Idea Grove team is always looking for ways to optimize our social presence and experimenting with new types of posts to increase the engagement around our brand.

  • Passion - Idea Grove are really passionate about what they do which makes them vested in your business over and above a simple commercial relationship. Opinion - Idea Grove will take time to understand your business, understand your customers and market, and are never shy to offer an opinion. This is something that adds tremendous value by challenging the status quo.

  • Idea Grove has a talented staff that stays on top of the latest trends in marketing. They're smart, creative, and driven to succeed for their clients.

  • Scott Baradell at Idea Grove really help us gain national media recognition in a short amount of time.

Cons:

  • We're continuing to work with them based on our positive experience.

  • Nothing really. They were a delight to work with and were true partners, something that is easily said but rarely true.

  • There really wasn't anything I didn't like. Everyone I worked with at Idea Grove was professional and knowledgeable.

  • We had to cut our time short due to our company budget cuts.

Overall Experience: Idea Grove designed and developed our website, then made site updates post-launch after our name and branding change. They put together a strategy for our site by working closely with us to understand our goals, then conducting keyword research and building stylescapes to determine the branding and overall aesthetics for the site design. They also helped with our name and branding change by developing messaging, design elements, and email communications to be shared with our customers. Now, they’re developing blog content, providing SEO support, and running organic and paid social campaigns to build brand awareness.We were impressed by the level of preparedness and attention to detail Idea Grove showed during our initial discussion. They walked us through the creative process, project plan, and cost and they delivered on the quality of work they promised. They are a fun, friendly, professional, responsive, and exceptionally talented team.
