We saw a huge shift in the keywords we focused on, this also happened much faster than we had hoped. We also saw improvements organically in other search terms from their overall improvements to the site. We also can see a progression moving forward as the team at Ceek are very attentive, clear and a pleasure to deal with.

Their project management is very good. We have worked particularly closely with Michael, and he has been brilliant. Everyone there has been easy to work with and they always reply quickly to questions.

The passion from top resonates throughout the team, they have so much knowledge and experience. The one thing that impressed me the most is that they seem to really care about our mission and want us to grow with their help, not just take our money.

Not at the moment.

I’m the founder of LDA London DJ Agency. We’re an agency that books DJs from all around the world.

When I hired CEEK, I wanted more of a social following and better engagement. I wanted to build up our SEO efforts.

CEEK runs all of our marketing initiatives. They handle our social media accounts, working to build our presence on platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Their team manages paid ad initiatives via Google Ads and Facebook Ads. For example, they set up a retargeting campaign via Google Ads. When people visit our website, we can then hit them with other messages later.

We have a main point of contact but also work with a team from CEEK. If I need to talk about a certain aspect of a project, I speak with specific people.

I typed in marketing agency into Google search and found CEEK.

We’ve spent between £15,000–£20,000 (approximately $18,600–$24,800 USD) between all of the different projects.

I’ve been with CEEK since June 2018. I still have them on retainer.

We’re getting a lot of leads from organic traffic to our site. I’ve seen results from our social media campaigns on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest too. They got us new corporate clients and DJs who heard about us and decided to join our team. They’ve also gotten us verified on different social media accounts, which is nice. It’s worked out quite well.

We use WhatsApp or Zoom to communicate. They answer any time of day, which I like. When I’m in London, we always have a meeting in person. Their team talks about their new ideas and we get cracking on strategic objectives. Their team gives us monthly reports.

They’re a 360 agency that covers every aspect of marketing that we need to be done for our business. I refer them to anyone who asks about a marketing agency. Their team does a great job all around. I’m really happy with their work, so I keep them on retainer. They’re a friendly and young team, so it’s like having a bunch of influencers working for you because they’re in that ecosystem.

No, they do a great job. The only feedback is that I have to wait longer than expected when they call me into the office sometimes.

CJS Builders is a New York City-based construction company specializing in general contracting and construction management. Our key market is corporate commercial interiors, high-end retail, and high-end hospitality. I’m a director at the company.

Construction isn’t the most advanced industry in terms of technology integration. We were stuck in our traditional ways of marketing, and we had a small and rather weak digital footprint. At the beginning of 2019, we decided that we needed to tackle technology as a whole, and our digital footprint in particular. That’s how we identified the need for a company or team like CEEK.

The main issue we had was that our brand identity in the digital world was terrible. If someone knew nothing about us as a business and they went online, the information they’d get would show them 10% of what we were. It made us look a lot older and smaller.

The initial conversations were with Charlie (Founder and Managing Director, CEEK), and there were 3–4 other people involved. I was in touch with one person specifically for the SEO side of things. I appreciated the support from the team.

Initially, we found them through online research. Then, I was able to connect a few dots with people who were aware of the company. There were some outside, indirect recommendations for them.

Our spent with them is going to be around $100,000 per year.

We started working with CEEK around July 2019 and are continuing our collaboration.

They gave us an initial analysis of our standing, the positioning of our competitors, and general market trends. That set the tone for what we needed to do, and we got regular updates on the progress. CEEK put some benchmarks against us.

Half of our business is project management, so we know what to look for when we’re dealing with companies that provide that service. CEEK was strong and gave us several options for communication methods. For concepts that needed to be discussed and explained, we used video calls, screen shares, and so on. They provided trackers and really detailed the process from start to finish.

Often times, people listen in order to respond rather than listening in order to hear. We explained what we needed for this project to be efficient and cost-effective, and CEEK heard that. They have their processes and procedures, but they tailored those to what we needed.

I believe everything can be improved upon. CEEK is UK-based and we’re in New York, so at times, it was difficult to coordinate schedules. I’m really splitting hairs, and it’s partly on us for working with a UK-based company. I really enjoyed the experience.

This is in general, not specific to CEEK: even if you don't understand the digital marketing world, you should still know what you want to get out of the engagement. Even if your initial desire isn’t something that CEEK can deliver, or isn't necessarily appropriate for digital marketing, you need to look at your overall goals. These can be anything, including just wanting to have social media channels and run monthly campaigns.

I’m the owner of a luxury private, rental villa in Sri Lanka.

We wanted to build our brand, and we had no idea how to market it. We were also facing the additional challenge of learning about a foreign location and appealing to different demographics. Our goal was to get exposure for our property and promote the region as a whole.

CEEK created our brand from scratch. By looking at some of our older visual assets, they guided the whole brand building process. Their team constructed our website, set up our social media channels, and help us with various influencer marketing campaigns by securing influencers. They also provide various video production and photography services, including creating YouTube content.

Though there has been some switching of roles, about 5–6 people work with us on the project.

They came recommended to me through another contact. I was told CEEK is great at their job, especially in the hospitality sector with luxury clients. I met with Charlie (Founder & Managing Director, CEEK), and he impressed me, so I decided to take them on for the project.

We’ve spent around £60,000 (approximately $74,000 USD).

We’ve been working together since 2016 and our engagement is ongoing.

We’ve seen a definite increase in bookings and a massive ROI, which is why we’re still working with them. Since a night at our luxury villa is quite pricey, each booking contributes to a big revenue bump for us. For example, one of the campaigns they executed for us with a well-known influencer resulted in a YouTube video that generated over 1 million views, giving us a big boost.

A project manager from their team works with us on the social media channels and gives us continuous updates. They send us monthly feedback, but we also communicate by email or phone if anything urgent or major happens. Their team has also sent staff to Sri Lanka to be on the ground to manage some influencer campaigns, which is great. In terms of timelines, they’ve truly exceeded expectations sometimes.

They’re professional while also being approachable. Also, Charlie has an extensive network, and we really appreciate those intangible benefits, especially on the quasi-celebrity front. We get a good amount of PR exposure just simply from this collaboration and haven’t had to pay extra for it.

The only thing that is slightly frustrating is the timezone difference, but we’re honestly quite happy which is why we continue working with them.

Trust their judgment on some things. There were some aspects of a campaign I was skeptical of, like how frequently to post online, but everything came together because I trusted the experts. I’m very happy with our experience and they have a positive effect on projects.

I am the manager of a luxury hair salon in Parsons Green, Fulham.

New website, digital marketing, instagram and other social media, consultancy etc.

Raise awareness of new hair salon on a local scale initially and expanding to a larger neighbourhood

Initial meeting set up through a mutual connection and very impressed with ideas and projections

Managing website and all social accounts, providing monthly reports, working hand-in-hand with myself on all marketing campaigns

We have a designated accounts manager who works closely with me on a regular basis. I can contact her whenever necessary. I am in contact with the website designer who is brilliant at troubleshooting! I am also in contact when necessary with the company director. There are other members of the team who I have met at different salon events but have less regular contact with

We have seen a clear increase in sales and visits to our social media and website. We are now ranking very highly on Google.

Our accounts manager is always quick and efficient and I am provided with regular updates and consultations. Everyone is available at the end of the phone or via email daily.

I was blown away by the knowledge and experience of the company director and his team. Full of great ideas and very passionate about my business and its success. I now feel like I couldn't possibly run my business without CEEK by my side.

Thus far, I have no complaints. The only improvement would have been to have started working with them sooner!
