Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..

The information provided in this report is based on comments made by Joe Kellogg, JB Kellogg, and Jerry Kelly during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward the Madwire Media..

Madwire Media’s vision is to be a company that has unbelievable technology and unbeatable customer service by helping companies grow through Marketing and Design. The company’s target market is small to midsize businesses with annual revenue ranging from $25,000 to $1,000,000. They have a global clientele with majority of their clients outside of the state of Colorado. Madwire never buys leads or cold calls because all of their leads are strictly inbound. Additionally, the company states that they operate with the same marketing strategy they offer their clients with the goal of having an inbound lead generation. Furthermore, the company states they have dedicated marketing consultants whose responsibility is to consult the potential customer about their business, create a marketing plan to help their business be successful and reach a package that fits their needs.

Madwire Media feels they are set apart from other companies in their industry because they have a proprietary product that they build. The company creates a dynamic solution with MAD-360, which is their core product offering. Everything the company does is analytic driven which they feel is unique to their company. The marketing they provide comes with analytics which further helps to separate them from their competitors.

The sales process with Madwire Media starts when the lead comes in and the company reaches out to the potential customer. The company goes through a process of asking the potential customer questions to figure out their needs and how Madwire can consult them in their business. This process helps the company to identify a road map to success. With each new lead, the company always has a consultant mindset, not about the company selling something. During this process, the company’s main objective is to find out if Madwire’s solutions are going to work for the potential client, how they can help, and if they are a good fit to work together. Next, the Madwire works with the prospective client to discover their budget and put them on a plan within that budget. Madwire does extensive research and competitor analysis which includes what their client’s competitors are currently spending. The company explains discovered information in correlation with their needs and goals. Finally, Madwire Media puts together a plan for growth opportunity for the prospective client. Their ultimate goal for every client is to build a solid brand and make them the “go to guy” for their local business. Furthermore, Madwire looks to build a long term, profitable business for their clients.

Through the customizable solutions created by Madwire prospective company’s results vary for their services. Joe Kellogg, CEO of Madwire states, “Ultimately, the client drives the business and they need to follow through on the action plan to have optimal success. Each client has a dedicated marketing executive and they each have a whole team working behind them. Essentially, each client has their own marketing team helping their business. This means low overhead for the client because hiring an on-site marketing team would be more costly. A huge benefit for our customer is that they receive daily marketing communication from their team.”

The company is striving to improve internal processes in initial website launches for their clients. This is a service they provide to every client and it is a full investment on their side because the client does not pay for it. Typical websites take 10 weeks to launch but Madwire can launch a website in 10 days while keeping the same quality and work flow. When looking at improvements in internal processes, JB Kellogg, COO stated, “We see all feedback as a positive thing. We are constantly analyzing and measuring data to streamline processes. If an issue arises, we are able to correct it immediately.” Additionally, the company has made several structural changes by providing the client a dedicated reprehensive for their account resulting in better service.

JB Kellogg further stated, “With ‘Execution Excellence’ being our motto, we strive to uphold standards with every client complaint. All complaints are viewed as opportunities.” A common complaint the company has received in the past relates to client’s expectations. Madwire explained, “Many times a client is a brand new business, new to the internet or just doesn’t know what it will take for them to be successful. They may have unrealistic expectations and when those are not met right away, it causes the client to become unsatisfied.” The company stated that they always resolve the complaint. They want and even encourage clients who have unmet expectations to reach out to them before writing a review to allow them the opportunity to do whatever it takes to turn them into a satisfied client. One way to resolve a complaint is to keep them as a client and bend over backwards to ensure the client is satisfied. If the issue is because of an expectation, a dedicated marketing executive will do more consultation. The marketing consultants are the first people to talk to clients. Their job is to tell the client what their competitor is spending while setting proper expectations for their success. JB Kellogg explained, “Madwire Media wants our clients to understand that the process takes time and work. It takes time to constantly analyze, measure, and adjust over the course of 4-6 months. As long as the client understands that and are committed to the program, we will do everything to help them be successful.” They mentioned their first commitment to their clients is a specially designed website at no charge to them. Madwire’s success is built on long term customers. Therefore, they make it a priority to resolve complaints effectively.

The company had a situation a few months ago where a client was unsatisfied with their marketing plan. The client said the particular program he was on did not make sense and Madwire agreed with him. Madwire Media informed him that he should be on a higher platform based on his location and what his competitors were doing. Ultimately, he was not getting what he wanted, but didn't want to spend the additional dollars to get what he needed. They took the time to listen to what he wanted and advised him on the type of people that are searching for him, which happened to be coupon and sales driven consumers. After the conversation, the unsatisfied client saw the value in what Madwire Media provided, but decided he was not prepared to put more into the process. The main issue in this scenario was communication and expectation. The company feels there is not one resolution to answer problems; not one person is going to have the same complaint.

Since complaints on Ripoff Report, Madwire Media stated they have not changed their process just because they have had some bad reviews. They constantly strive to improve processes regardless of complaints. They said that creative agencies sometimes have a tough time satisfying how something looks compared to how it is going to drive traffic to their website. Unfortunately, they can't please everyone. They strive to make the best decisions based on what is going to best drive traffic to a client's website, which is oftentimes not what the customer thinks is going to look the best.

The company’s motto that they communicate and hold employees accountable to is "Execution Excellence," which is doing whatever needs to be done to take care of the client. No one in the company has voicemail because they want their clients to have things done timely, if not immediately. The internet is instant and they want their response to be as well. Some changes they have made as a result of complaints received is that they are more engaged with Ripoff Report and value it as a way to discuss and resolve issues for unhappy clients. If a customer has a problem, they want it fixed. They ask themselves what the company can do to fix the issue. They look at Ripoff Report as an opportunity to reach out to the client to correct the problem.

Madwire Media wants to tell the truth about their company and the thousands of companies they help. Jerry Kelly stated, “Ripoff Report is the mechanism to identify people that have a problem and how we can solve it. This gives them an opportunity to work with unsatisfied clients that they would not have normally been able to reach out to because they did not contact our firm directly.”
