What Our Advertisers Say
EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Google Brandon GloverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a client for about 3 months now and have thoroughly enjoyed working with the whole team there. It has been a great experience and I highly recommend them!Posted on Google Bruce InCharlotteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I picked up a copy of the slick Durham Magazine from a display in Cocoa Cinnamon near the Nasher Museum. Flipping through the pages and reading articles tells a lot about what's interesting on the Durham side of the Raleigh-Durham area including the latest in news and events, lifestyle tips and restaurant reviews. The articles are well-written and cover a wide array of topics, including arts and entertainment, dining, wellness, and community happenings. I enjoyed the cover article about critical care and helicopter transport in the area. While it's past Christmas time now, the article about DIY merrymaking was interesting. I found it all to be easy to read and while there are a lot of advertisements, they're compelling exposure for local businesses, most of them rather high end. I don't know that I would pay for a subscription, I would have no problem picking up a free copy to see what's going on here. Durham Magazine is published six times a year.Posted on Google Sarah PersiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been working with Triangle Media Partners for several years now, for both print ads and digital ads. We've worked with many publications, and we can say without reservation that Triangle Media Partners is outstanding at what they do. Every person we work with there is talented, kind, and extremely professional- they are also creative and detail-focused. We know whenever we work with them the finished product is going to be beautiful, and that matters to us. Their team is (and has been) a partner and support to us in our goals, making it known that they are invested in us and want our business to grow.Posted on Google Colleen McGueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization needed to develop and execute a new brand strategy that better reflected the work that we do and the way we communicate with the public. Because we aren’t marketers, but transportation planners, we needed a repeatable process to communicate to hyper targeted audiences in an on-brand way that was easy for our communities to understand. Rory worked with us over several months to audit our brand, develop both organic and paid communication tactics and provided repeatable ways that our entire team could communicate with the press, government, our board and technical committees, the community and special interest groups along with specific demographic populations. Rory and Triangle Media Partners were a joy to work with, and kept the whole process as easy and painless as possible for our team. We would highly recommend their services to any agency or firm that is seeking to do this kind of work.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
