Told me to make my own website and to give up on my business because I dont have enough money to compete with others in the marketing side. Wow cant believe a company would let an employee talk to a potential customer like that. Just shocked. So rude.

Left three messages and send an email. called the 4th time and the reception laughed saying that they were so busy they could returns calls. After 3 weeks of this I gave up and will never do business with a company like this.

I had the opportunity to attend a seminar about "Content Creation", taught by Maria Mora (Content Director for Big Sea). If the rest of the team is as talented and knowledgable as her, there's no question of being in GREAT hands. Definitely a digital marketing team you can count on to help you grow your business!
