Over the past two years, we've worked with 1205 to fulfill a number of outsourced marketing services at our nonprofit; they include social media, online advertising, and content marketing, to name a few. We love working with the 1205 team as they're friendly, professional, and are always willing to jump in and help with virtually any marketing task we've put in front of them. Great company to work with. We couldn't be happier with their services.

The team here is a delight to work with. They truly know exactly what they're doing even when you might not. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone trying to find an honest consultant who can cater a social plan to your needs and budget without taking you on a ride.
