Told me to make my own website and to give up on my business because I dont have enough money to compete with others in the marketing side. Wow cant believe a company would let an employee talk to a potential customer like that. Just shocked. So rude.

I had the opportunity to attend a seminar about "Content Creation", taught by Maria Mora (Content Director for Big Sea). If the rest of the team is as talented and knowledgable as her, there's no question of being in GREAT hands. Definitely a digital marketing team you can count on to help you grow your business!

You can tell as soon as you walk into Big Sea that this is a special group. The team members exude warmth and positive energy and the vibe in their offices manages to be both laid back and cool while simultaneously buzzing with the quiet energy of people truly engaged by and interested in their work. I approached the creation of a website for my small business--which is really just me--with some trepidation; by definition, my work as a coach is focused almost entirely on the client, not on myself, so it felt awkward and uncomfortable to have to create and share so much content about myself. The team at Big Sea walked me through the process of mocking up and refining the design and color scheme of the website--the fun part--while gently prodding me to provide more and more content about myself and my coaching approach. And then what they did with it, especially Maria, who did the bulk of the writing, was really remarkable. She framed my experience and my philosophy in a way that I never could have generated myself, but with which I felt totally comfortable. The team at Big Sea turned a task I was dreading--putting up a website for my business---into an unexpected and genuine pleasure!
