Primedia
Looking for marketing in all the wrong places.
For the past week I have been trying to hunt down a nice online marketing firm. At an event I got a business card for a company called Primedia. Now I felt I need to write a post about these guys so here we go. How can I start this and still be some what nice. I guess I can’t. This place was a little out there not to sure that they are a real company. I called to find out some more information about what they can do for my new web site. Simple enough right? You would think so? The lady that picked up the phone talked as if she really knew what she was doing but then had to get off the phone to call her creative director. I guess he was the brains of the OPP. She called me back to tell me that they would call me the next day to tell me what they do. But they can not tell me any information on what they can do for me. They said that I could take that info and do for my self. They would have been better off trying to sell me the brooklyn bridge. Are they kidding me? They wanted me to spend money on marketing but I would not be aloud to know what they are doing. What a joke. I asked for samples in writing some sort of proof that they have been some what successful for other web sites. This Lady on the other line told me to go to the website this is what I found http://www.primediany.com/ a very bad designed web site with a talking java script in the corner. Then I tried to search them online to see about some work they have done, and found nothing. Why hire a web marketing company that has not press for them selves.So I say beware of this company sounds to me like a scam. Any marketing business that can’t show you results is not worth is weight in salt. Primedia you lost my business as well as my list of clients.
