TESTIMONIALS
ANN DAW
"The ever-changing media landscape has made it absolutely necessary for today’s marketers to have the very best media partner and MBED has been exactly that for JanSport since our partnership began in 2013. Their skill and expertise in all forms of digital media have guided, informed, and provided the timely disciplines needed for our campaigns to be successful. After three complex years navigating a media world in constant change and evolution, I cannot imagine JanSport’s success without MBED. MBED is a true partner, start to finish.”
LENA SHAW
"Graham and Evan have been working with us for 2+ years and their perspective has been instrumental to our growth. They’re embedded within our marketing team and we value their ongoing partnership. If you’re a growing startup looking to accelerate your acquisition strategies and growth marketing, look no further than MBED."
SAM FAILLACE
"MBED has been an essential partner of the CBR digital marketing team. They've built and maintained automated weekly and monthly analytics dashboards, making it easy for any business stakeholder to view critical KPIs and movement in the business at anytime. As we’ve made changes in the business and implemented new marketing plans, they’ve helped us project future impacts and measure the outcomes. MBED has also supported our paid social marketing by optimizing investments, creating 2x engagement and cost efficiencies. I strongly recommend partnering with Graham, Evan and the MBED team.”
SCOTT KINZIE
"I’ve been working with MBED for several years on everything from SEM strategy to the execution of our digital marketing initiatives. They are a data-driven team of creative strategists who have been instrumental in driving meaningful growth across our digital marketing practice."
CHARLES LOZNER
"Outdoor Research worked with MBED to accelerate our learning curve on how to most effectively use YouTube as a marketing channel. Graham, Evan and Sheldon trained our internal team on the tips and tricks of managing our Channel. They also managed our TrueView ad campaigns on YouTube, driving video views and channel subscribers, and contributing to strong sell-through for our key apparel styles.”
JAEGER SHAW
"We partnered with MBED to manage two successful YouTube pre-roll ad campaigns in 2015. Their mastery of Google Adwords led to numerous data-driven insights, and they fully optimized every aspect of the campaigns according to our goals. We’d highly recommend MBED’s services to any business looking to generate serious results in the Google landscape.”
