I sent an email out to three agencies I believed would "get" me. It was long, created a sense of the possibility I would be challenging to work with, and was point blank about my market. I wrote it to scare a marketing agency, because the easily scared are not who I want to work with. Annie responded in less than 18 hours. Not only unafraid, but excited for the challenge. And it works because we both have the same philosophy about marketing: if it doesnt make you a little uncomfortable, it is no different than anyone elses marketing, so your results are going to suck. I am an innovator, marketing to a no-BS target market, I have to have someone screaming from the mountains with me that feels the same way. Annie et al are crazy, creative, exciting, full of life, and while they may make a stodgy technocrat nervous, they get results. If you are afraid of that feeling you get when leaning back in your chair where you are jjjuuuuuuussst about to fall over, but dont, you wont understand or appreciate what RCM can do for you. That thrill is what drives clients to your door and is where RCM will keep you hanging.

I love RCM!!!! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. I have worked with other companies before and frankly I always left disappointed and lighter in the pocket, with no business earned from their work. I started off knowing of RCM several years ago, we did some break-fix computer repairs for them and noticed then that they were different. When we released our previous advertising agency it was literally a matter of a couple days and I was officially an RCM client. Out of the box thinking, brilliant in positioning my company as I feel it should be positioned and bottom line pushing me to realize there are huge possibilities that I have been looking past in every way, including advertising, branding and well, EVERYTHING!!! I was stuck on a different path in my way of thinking and from day 1 that has changed in so many amazing ways. I will be a client for life so if any of my competitors are reading this, dream on, you cant get in. Seats taken. LOL

I had a great intro meeting with Annie--I shared some info on our company and industry and provided her with a few of our leading competitors. She took it from there and prepared a slide deck that highlighted the pros and cons of both our web content along with that of our competitors. She also shared a lot of specific insight on how best to brand our name and position ourselves against the competition. Our company is bootstrapping with limited funding, and Annie--a true entrepreneur at heart--understands that; these intro meetings are absolutely zero pressure, but rest assured that if and when we do raise capital, there will be a line item in our budget for RCM.

After any and every meeting that I have had with the RCM team, I walk away fired up at the opportunity to work with pure, unadulterated marketing and brand brilliance. Annie and her team GET IT - every time - and bring out-of-the-box genius to every project that I have brought before them. I hesitate to describe what RCM can do as "marketing" or "social" or "brand" or any one thing like that, because truly what they bring to the table goes much much further than a single dimension or subject area. Rock Candy Media is a special group of amazing individuals brought together by a dynamic, brilliant leader in Annie Liao Jones. RCM, keep doing what you do!

I was ready to show the world (or at least Austin) what we at New Creations Custom Kitchen and Bath have built over the last 11 years of business. We worked hard to earn many awards and over 120 Five Star Reviews, so I needed a special mkt company help me pull this off. I chose to call Rock Candy Media because their messaging stood out and was honestly refreshing. If they had the ability to make me stop and call them, I will listen. Everyone has a microphone these days and if they can stand out, thats what I want them to do for me. Also I want to work with someone I like and I like the RCM team.

Ive talked to lots of marketing companies but RCM was a very different experience. They do their research before meeting with you and are prepared with a plan of action when you walk in. I felt like Annie read my mind. The strategic analysis that took me years to formulated was recited to me without any information provided. If your looking for a typical boring marketing company, dont call these guys. If your looking for an outside the box, bold, forward thinking marketing firm, give them a call. You might have to wait a month to get a meeting but its well worth it.

I had a meeting with Annie to go over the potential for us to work together. I was blow away by her knowledge, drive, and overall confidence. She had a plan already put together and the vision to see it through. Truly a talented group, I look forward to how they can help us grow. Highly recommended. Update: We have been working with them for months now and they have been a massive asset. I cannot imagine working without them! Almost everything they do has been approved on the first round, simply because they speak our language and really do their homework.

We came to RCM to help us with re branding our 3D Laser Surveying business. The creative energy pulled us in the second we walked through the doors and as we were walking away, we knew that our business was in the best hands. The process has been smooth, enjoyable and the team is composed of genuinely good people who take pride in your success. RCM did such a good job with the first mockups they sent us that it made our jobs a little more difficult trying to decide which one we liked the most! We cant wait to see the finished products!

I had a wonderful intro meeting with Annie. It was such a great experience. After talking to her and going over all the amazing things RCM could do for my business I left the meeting knowing my business was in great hands and thats what is important. They made me feel confident that they could make a big difference in my business and even though its a very small business that didnt seem to matter. Very few people have impressed me and blown me away as much as Annie and Rock Candy Media have. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Rock Candy Media is a talented advertising agency and that is evident in how they have advertised themselves. They represent who and what they are with a clear vision and do not disappoint. I had the pleasure of reviewing a competitive analysis that Annie and her team prepared for my new business. It was creative, analytical, fun, scary, inspiring, bold, interesting and very smart. When I saw "This ones for the freaks..." on their website, I knew I had to contact them. And I am glad I did!

We walked out of our first meeting with Rock Candy Media with looks of sheer excitement our faces and a lack of words for what just happened. We covered a ton of ground in just an hour, from presentations of her teams preliminary research to a conversation about goals. Their take-no-prisoners, all-or-nothing attitude might scare some more conservative clients away, but those who are looking for REAL results will know they are absolutely in the right place! Thanks so much Annie!
