WORKING WITH AIADVERTISING IS MORE THAN JUST A TRANSACTION, IT’S A PURE PARTNERSHIP. THEIR TEAM IS NOTHING LESS THAN EXCELLENT IN THEIR EXECUTION, COLLABORATIVE IN THEIR CREATIVITY AND PASSIONATE IN THEIR PURSUIT OF RESULTS FOR THEIR CLIENTS. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WITH AIADVERTISING WE WERE HESITANT AS IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME WORKING WITH AN EXTERNAL AGENCY, BUT AFTER OUR FIRST PROJECT WE KNEW IT WAS A FIT. NOT ONLY DID WE SEE INCREDIBLE RESULTS (25% INCREASE IN EVENT ATTENDANCE YEAR OVER YEAR), BUT THEIR INVESTMENT INTO US AS A CLIENT AND BRAND WAS EXCEPTIONAL. FROM THE FIRST KICKOFF MEETING, THEY WERE ALL IN AND FULLY SURRENDERED TO ACHIEVING THE RATHER LARGE (AND QUICK) GOALS SET. SINCE THEN, THEY’VE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND IN THEIR APPROACH TO ENSURE OUR GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS ARE EXCEEDED. 10/10, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND AIADVERTISING”... BUT ONLY IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO BLOW YOUR GOALS OUT OF THE WATER.
