I hired Anna to work on my search engine optimization (SEO). She has a great energy about her and is very positive. Not only that, she really comes through and is very helpful and stays engaged with you throughout the process to make sure everything gets done. Anna is very skilled and strategic, and thorough in how she approaches each issue. I would highly recommend her.

Alessandra, I want you to know how much I appreciate you and your whole team! You all are on top of every move, focused, plan everything and use metrics to make your moves. So far this has been a true blessing for us and I’m so excited to finally work with a company who gets it!

Working with the Colibri Marketing team this last year has been an incredible experience. I'm a wellness entrepreneur and their team of experts bring the personal touch and exceptional talent combined with marketing expertise my brand needed. From rebuilding my website and creating a complex web app as a tool for my wellness members, to creating a powerful digital marketing strategy to help me launch and build my brand awareness and promote membership, they are game changers. <br><br>I am very glad I chose Colibri as my digital marketing team for Dr. Cheryl Wellness.

I'm so happy to have found Colibri Digital Marketing as our go-to online-presence adviser and resource. Anna Colibri is such a great person to work with. Together, we've covered a broad range of things that they are helping us with including: Website design and search engine optimization, social media management, email marketing, content marketing, and Google AdWords. Colibri Digital Marketing has really opened my eyes to both the need for digital marketing and the expertise required to achieve an effective web presence. She is so knowledgeable, but also empathetic and really wanted to get to understand my business. Anna is reliable, smart, and focused on quality and relationships. Colibri Digital Marketing has been an indispensable part of our young business. We simply wouldn't have had any social awareness or traction with the public without them, and it's made a huge difference for us.

Colibri Digital Marketing provided the GGBA with digital marketing strategy, social media, advertising, website, email marketing support, and analytics. Throughout this time, we have seen many changes and growth, helping us to take advantage of digital and other marketing approaches to further our mission to provide education, opportunity, and advocacy to the LGBTQ+ business community. Colibri Digital Marketing evolved its role within our organization as it has grown, changed, and addressed the challenges of the pandemic, meeting our expectations and helping the GGBA to thrive.

For six months, I managed my organization’s project with Colibri Digital Marketing. This project included a social media and Google Ads audit and strategy, asset design and development, ongoing data analysis, and six months of advertising and social media management. The services encompassed deepening our reach in four existing markets and launching our product in two new markets. Moreover, each digital product was delivered in both English and Spanish. Since this project came during an organizational merger, Colibri’s professionalism and quality were closely scrutinized by multiple teams across many levels of oversight — from our product team to two communications teams and within my own department. I’m delighted that Colibri Digital Marketing exceeded everyone’s expectations and helped make our digital marketing strategy a success throughout 2021. If my experience is a typical example of Colibri Digital Marketing’s customer service, attention to detail, and overall client satisfaction then you too will be pleased to have them as part of your team.

The team at Colibri has been one of our biggest bright spots to a challenging few years. Maria, both Alessandra's, Andreina, Veronica and Simon work splendidly together and it shows in their work product. Always prepared, patient, understanding and dedicated - their quality and output of work is only overshadowed by how exceptional they are as human beings. In an increasingly digital world it was a joy to login to our calls and see their smiling faces and bubbly personalities. I can say with extreme confidence that Just Fare is better off because of the Marketing work they provide. I have long thought that if you find the right people to work with your world becomes easier and more enjoyable, and the Colibri team optimizes that. I can not recommend their work highly enough and more than that, I am grateful to have gotten the opportunity to work with such amazing people!

Maria and her team have been managing our nonprofit's website since before my time. They have been fantastic to work with -- quick to take my loose ideas and turn them into a tangible website design. They're also fast, and communicative. I couldn't give a better recommendation.
