We engaged 10 Pound Gorilla to help us with our website, online and print marketing campaigns. Over the course of our engagement, they have revamped our website to attract customers using a Google Adwords campaign. Our business had been suffering significantly due to the recession and failed attempts to attract customers through print ads in various publications. 10 Pound Gorilla came in and spent time learning our business and crafting an online advertising campaign to generate leads. In the span of a few weeks, we got inquiries and began to generate new business. Our business has improved by 30%and we receive 3 to 8 new calls or e-mails per week from potential customers. The cost of this advertising was much less than what we were spending before and the results are uncomparable. 10 Pound Gorilla has helped us revived our business with this advertising approach.

We began working with Cassidi and 10 Pound Gorilla two years ago. At that time our inhouse IT specialist had just left our firm – a mid-size marketing and communications company that operates a design studio. Once he was gone, we had no one in the company that could program DNN skins.
 
Cassidi entered the scene via the internet – her offices in Colorado, ours in Toronto, Canada! We were under crushing deadlines, scrambling to get two sites launched with clients demanding action.
 
10 Pound Gorilla saved our accounts, patiently guiding us while we established protocols for working together over the net, and then answering our every need with thorough professionalism and competence. During times when panic overtook us, they were calm, when we were looking for answers, they had them. And at each step, we knew where we were with cost – as Cassidi rigorously documented and rapidly quoted changes to the projects’ scope of work.
 
Two years later we get the same great service, fair pricing and solid technical support. We don’t blink at saying yes to our clients’ demands. With the 10 Pound Gorilla team at our side projects go smoothly and we shine, meeting difficult deadlines, solving complicated problems, and resolving workflow issues that sink many projects with lesser talent at the table.
 
Go ahead and hire 10 Pound Gorilla! And be prepared to settle into a technical support relationship where ‘support’ is the operative word, and where client service reigns. And if in doubt, call me, I’ve lots more I can tell you! Direct Line: 416.519.6853.

Three months since 10 Pound Gorilla completed our new website, we have been receiving rave reviews from our targeted audiences. They have commented on how easy it is to navigate, the beautiful layout and design and how comprehensive it is. Our online requests for information and quotes have increased dramatically, and our website traffic is way up. Thank you for the professional job—you came through for us in every way. - Paulette, Concern EAP It (our custom skin) works great. Thanks a lot. I am very happy with this skin. I will be recommending you to others. - Michael I appreciate your excellent customer service.  I always feel comfortable knowing that if I ask for help with tech support you are always prompt diligent and thorough.  I would not hesitate to recommend your service to others. - Thanks again, Bob I want to thank you for the great job you did on the website and for having such a user friendly product at a reasonable price to offer nonprofits.  I imagine that you hear that from many of your customers.  So far, I have been able to make changes very easily -- although I'm sure I'll need your help again at some point. - Mairi It was such an exciting experience working with Cassidi.  After three site redesigns with other companies, Cassidi finally got what we needed and worked for us and within our given budget every step of the way.  I look forward to many more projects with her and 10 Pound Gorilla.  She is professional, up front, honest, and truly a pleasure to work with. Thanks! - Rocky Mountain Bride Magazine "Unbelievable communication skills, exceptionally creative design work, prompt and thorough; 10 Pound Gorilla has made our lives so much easier!" - Chad Scott, Managing Director of Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre I must say having Cassidi do my newest website www.awnrygirl.com was a breeze. Nothing awnry about it. She got the look  I was goin for without me having to repeat myself again and again or make numerous changes.  She used my ideas, colors and fonts in creative ways that I was crazy about. It far exceeded my expectations and was worth every penny I spent. She saved me many hours in front of my computer and I'm sure countless headaches. Just like having a great auto mechanic that you can really trust, I know that Cassidi and I will have a long relationship . I give my Awnry Girl stamp of approval to Cassidi and 10 Pound Gorilla- even though I never did see that little gorilla... - Jami Lunde, Awnry Girl Productions I hired Cassidi with 10-Pound Gorilla in 2005 when I moved into the Fraser Valley for both personal and professional reasons. FitLife is a private consulting business in nutrition and fitness which provides in-office and online services to its clients. Cassidi developed and designed an "eye catching" look for my business marketing materials at an affordable price for my small company. They reflect exactly what I want to say and how I want to say it!!

Currently she is providing assistance in expanding my website to provide more online services, nutrition and fitness information, and education for both current and potential clients. Not only does she have an incredible knowledge base in marketing and website development but she also teaches you how to work with the site on your own so you can stay involved and educated. I have enjoyed working with Cassidi's expertise and look forward to moving ahead in the World Wide Web!!! - Angela Moore - Fit Life of Fraser Cassidi, we have been getting rave reviews about the flyers. - Neil Jans, Coldwell Banker From the start, Cassidi Peterson at 10 Pound Gorilla has helped me jump-start my writing career, by creating the infamous, much needed, INTERNET PRESENCE for my debut novel! With no knowledge of what or how to do anything computer-wise (I still think surfing is done in water) I appreciate Cassidi's patience and vital assistance in setting up my site.  A good teacher, she created a protocol for me, which I'm still studying in hopes one day, "I'll get it right."  Not only is Cassidi's sage guidance "right on," she is only an e-mail away, should I need her.  What I love the most about Cassidi and 10 Pound Gorilla is that she seems to "cut to the chase," and gets you where you need to be, sooner rather than later! Because of her artful eye, I'm very proud of my site.  Go ahead and "hit" me!!! - Joanne Sundell www.joannesundell.com thanks to Cassidi! The feedback we have received since launching the latest version of our site has been tremendous... -Art Ferrari, Grand County Blues Society Your graphic designs have been superior and your rates are very fair. I also appreciate the money you’ve saved me in using your printing services for my business cards... - Jody Mintken, Grand County 17 Not being a real technical person, I appreciated your patience in explaining and helping me to understand the process involved with getting an effective website up and running... - Dean Billington, Bull Basin Outfitters The t-shirts arrived today and they are perfect!  I love them!  So wonderful.  Thanks for all your hard work.  It definitely paid off.  I couldn't be happier. Thanks again! Sally
