Suffice it to say the partnership is a success! Today, after 10 years, Bona's retail sales continue to grow along with brand awareness increases year over year.

"Big Green Egg has a long history of working with MBI as two organically grown Atlanta based companies.

When Big Green Egg was ready to step up to national broadcast to support their 4,000+ national dealer network, they came to MBI for a creative approach to deliver on their ambitious media objectives.

MBI responded with a tightly focused plan that delivered national coverage focused on Big Green Egg's prime selling seasons and key audience demos. The plan met and exceeded expectations on all fronts. Audience delivery, network selection, daypart mix and efficiencies hit targets that would be expected from a budget with a lot more digits.

In a word, the results for Big Green Egg were "smokin'!"

- B. Atkinson, Marketing Services Manager at Big Green Egg

They remain conscientious of our budget parameters and strategic objectives, yet they find innovative ways to help us push forward.

They are diligent with reporting and interpreting results, which is a huge asset to an organization with limited in-house analytics."

"We decided to hire MBI when we disbanded our internal media department. While we were certainly less than ideal clients during the first year of transition, MBI was patient and worked with us to ensure our clients remained happy and well taken care of.

As an owner, I do not have direct day-to-day contact with MBI's media team. However, our media strategist has done a good job of staying in touch and making sure she communicates with me on a regular basis. I appreciate that and believe it keeps the line of communication open and allows for ongoing improvements in the relationship."

However, if you want the highest level of professional guidance, negotiation power, and institutional experience on your side, then hire MBI - and do it today. Their team of experienced professionals has helped our company move from a literal garage to one of the most recognized brands in our industry. I'm an attorney with an undergraduate degree in advertising, and I can assure you that there is no way in hell I could create, manage and contract for an outreach program with the sophistication and cost-effectiveness of the one MBI runs for me."

- M. Bertelsen, President of Cowboy Cauldron Company

"As the Daily's brand grew in distribution, it became clear we needed to transition from our regional ad buy to a national ad buy to reach our target in an impactful way. With MBI's recommendation, Daily's was able to generate nearly 7 times the number of impressions that would have been achieved with our previous years regional buy for the same budget!

MBI negotiated drastically lower rates than the open rate and provided valuable data and research about why national print made sense for our target and our brand, in order to help make a solid case of the program to senior management. We benefited from MBI's know how regarding what magazines would be the most relevant to our target, and their detailed recommendations to fulfill our campaign goals.

Our campaign was successful and about 20,000 consumers entered in the contest we were advertising. We were so pleased with the results that we decided to use MBI again to run a similar program!"

- V. Delannoy, Brand Manager at Daily's Cocktails

"MBI is our full-service media department. They've served our agency for almost four years and while we're 400 miles apart, it's as if they are in the office next door. Bottom line is they're smart, efficient, talented thinkers and problem solvers. Everything's always buttoned up with MBI."

- J. Ehrlich, President of The Brand Squad

"The MBI Team has done an excellent job supporting our business, and I recommend them highly. They provided great research supporting their recommendations and were very proactive and detailed in analyzing results of the campaign."

- B. Gumm, SVP Marketing at TRIA Beauty
