EVB Review

Agreed... EVB (Evolution Bureau) is the best advertising agency in San Francisco. Hands down. I also had a great time working here. We did the Tresemme Project Runway game and it was 3 intense weeks in Aug 07, but off set by go-karting, jamming tunes with the other design managers in the upstairs fully stocked music studio after work, drinking beers (after work), playing Xbox (I watched as I suck at video games) with 8 people playing for an hour to blow off steam. Intense... jamming acoustic guitar on the couch upstairs with everyone singing Black Sabbath tunes... Dogs running around the beautiful open space.

How much fun is that? Wouldn't you love to work at a place like this???

That is what makes EVB the best ad agency, or may I dare say place to work in SF (outside of having contracts with: Adidas, NBA, Microsoft, Mini, etc, etc, etc).
Thanks again Jason/Jeff for having me.

KQED 88.5 FM Review

I wake up in the morning, get in the car and hit FM/AM button switching from whatever CD I had playing the night before. It's always set to 88.5, KQED.

KQED has a lot going for it, especially when you consider what else is out there on the radio. I enjoy the news from NPR, and Forum, an SF-produced call-in show with good guests, is really strong as well. I love Marketplace from American Public Media at 4pm. IT's a good time for it because I leave work, hop in the car and it's on!

The shows that I most love are the weekend fare: A Prarie Home Companion, Wait, Wait, and of course, Says You!. They're all entertainment-based games adn I think they're a blast. I wish they ran some stuff liek that durign the week.

I still think that KQED is the best radio station around these parts, but pledge breaks take a star away. I can't stand them, and though I know they're what support the station, I refuse to listen to them during those weeks. I give every year, but I don't listen to them during that period.

Leslie Lum Marketing Review

After attending a fabulous Social Media Event in San Francisco I met Ms Lum, who was one of the speakers on the panel. I discovered that she was full of great experience and a wealth of knowledge about marketing and media. As a Jewelry Designer I decided to set up a meeting to consult and explore ways to make my business grow.
Ms Lum was quite diligent to gather all the necessary information from product samples and business cards to websites and previous press releases relating to my business. The meeting was a great success and I am very happy with the personal attention, excellent marketing solutions and industry contacts that she provided for me.
I still receive calls from Ms Lum about various events and opportunities that suit my business which reassures me that not only am I happy to have met and consulted with her but quite grateful to count such a lovely and caring person as a friend. Thank you.
Sincerely appreciated,

2hats Consulting Review

John has given me more than I could ask for from working with him. He has helped me improve my business significantly by teaching me business and marketing strategies, and helping me increase my confidence. I have learned that starting your own business is all about believing in yourself. John has listened to all of my concerns and fears, and has helped me to overcome them.

I have gained confidence and trust in myself with his transformational business work. John is more than a business coach. He is a transformational coach. I highly value all that he has to offer. He has continued to challenge me in the best ways. Not only has he helped me grow my business substantially, but he has also helped me grow as a person in all areas of my life. I could not ask for a better business transformational coach. Thank you, John. I appreciate you.

Elative Review

I worked with Kyung & his Elative Marketing team on branding and marketing collateral for a professional group that I am involved in. The design & copy he came up with was extremely impressive.

Kyung is well educated & very sharp.  He is responsive & totally on top of his game.  His work & designs are creative, cutting edge, visually appealing and unique.

Elative Marketing is your one-stop shop for all your marketing needs from web design, to SEO, branding, photography, graphic design, etc.   I am a huge fan & I wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone who wants to increase & improve their online presence and credibility.
