I can’t tell you how pleased I am with our newly redesigned mobile responsive website. It’s extremely reassuring to know that our customers will be able to view our website with ease using any medium: browsers, tablets or mobile phones. We finally feel like we’re ahead of the game with our competitors while still being able to provide our customers quick and easy access to the information they need. Thank you Blast!

The Blast team played a major role in shaping our new website; from well-designed wireframes defining our navigation and customer experience, to graphical design, SEO and creative content. I feel fortunate to have access to so many wonderful people with unique specialties all working together to make our project as successful as possible. I was referred to Blast Advanced Media by a friend who was pleased with the results of their service and I will not hesitate to refer the Blast team to everyone but my competition!

We partnered with Blast Advanced Media to redesign our websites and run our online marketing campaigns. I’ve been extremely impressed by their professionalism and accessibility. From start to end, the redesign of our websites has been pleasurable project to work on because of the enthusiasm Blast had for our company and our new websites. The project was extremely well managed and all the team members at Blast that I had a chance to work with were fantastic!

Blast is one of those rare companies that does what they say they’re going to do and they don’t beat around the bush. They don’t hesitate at the scale of any project and they always find ways to make things work. If you want results, choose Blast!

When I'm on Facebook I'm clunking around. It's not like Motivity - Motivity is a brilliant program. So easy to use - the more I use it the more I love it.

My company, like most, recognize the importance of good data when it comes to managing both our site and our AdWord campaigns. So we did what most folks do and installed Google Analytics on our site and linked it to our AdWords account and the data started flowing. Instantly we felt like we were trying to drink from a firehouse. Even worse, we could see that the data we were getting was incorrect due to to some sort of error on our part (i.e. we had a 0% bounce rate on our home page which I am pretty sure God couldn't accomplish).

While we like to think we have some pretty smart folks internally, none were schooled in Analytics and AdWords like the crew at Blast Advanced Media and it became clear we could save a ton of time and money by just going to the experts. We weren't disappointed. The Blast team did a thorough assessment of our Analytics setup and AdWords account and instantly went to work correcting our errors, showing us tools we didn't know existed and counseling us on how to move forward efficiently and intelligently.

Working with the Blast team was a pleasure and I would recommend them to anyone without reservation. I know that I will surely continue to work with them in the future. They saved me money and more importantly time and that's exactly what you want you decide to go to a pro.
— Ken
When I decided to look for someone to help me with my analytics, I searched all over the web. From the beginning Blast was the most helpful and responsive, they made my decision easy.

From the beginning my plan was to choose a company to get me set up. Then learn how to maintain everything myself. That way I didn't need to continue to pay anyone to do it for me. After Blast set me up I changed my mind. They were so quick and insightful that I decided that I would pay them to do what they do best so I could do what I do best, sell my product.

I'm so please with their work that I've arrange a time for them to present what they do at my next on-line meeting with my distribution channel.
— Ken
I have had my Google Analytics setup originally once and then adjusted by someone else again. So Blast was the 3rd company involved. This time Blast was able to allow me to track my PayPal orders throughout the checkout process and set up a way to monitor who is listening to samples samples which is important when you sell Audio Bibles like I do.

I also got a few custom reports built. Plus I can track my 404 error page to make sure everything is as good as I think it is with broken links, etc....

Joe at Blast you are the best so far......the others have not even been close.

Now I am moving on to using Blast for my Google Website Optimizer work. I hope it goes as well......thanks.
— Rick
We've been working with Blast for most of a year now and expect the relationship to continue for quite a while. They've become a partner in our business, helping us help our clients achieve greater success through the actionable insights they provide through their extensive knowledge of the web and expertise in web analytics. They are always prompt, fun to work with and exceptionally helpful. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to get the most from Google Analytics.
— Dan
We recently started working with Blast for Google Analytics Implementation. They have been so efficient, responsive and cost-effective that we are now expanding the scope of our work with them. Everyone has been eager to be of genuine help and they have solved a number of formerly chronic bugs and issues with our site
— Drew Altizer
Me and my team here at GigaOM are in complete amazement with Blast. We have engaged them on three fronts and have been impressed with their knowledge, speed of respond and follow through. We recommend Blast for Google Analytics, Website Optimizer and SEM. Five stars on all fronts.

What a transformation! Blast Advanced Media completely redid our Sysco Sacramento website. It’s extremely user friendly and offers so much more than our previous site. We interviewed several web design companies (across the U.S.) and the services, and package Blast AM offered us were by far superior to the other companies.

They are so easy to work with and offered suggestions that have only enhanced our website’s performance and usability. We are in the final stages of our second phase of web development. With the second phase we will be able to have secure user log-in’s, an online product guide with a search engine, ability to pay invoices on-line, and an interactive School Commodity program.

Phase 3 would give us the ability to have supplier/broker log-in’s so that they could access our promotions and tradeshow information. They’ll be able to fill out on-line forms which we could then download into our system.

Blast AM has a content management system so the Sysco site administrator can easily make updates to the site. These guys (and gals) are the best! Blast Advanced Media can work miracles with your website, they did for us!

Marketing Coordinator / Graphic Designer, SYSCO Sacramento
Kayden and everyone at Blast Advanced Media were amazing in their responsiveness, commitment and expertise in the development and marketing of our website. After searching the world over to find a website design company we ended up finding Blast in our own backyard. We’re glad we did, they were great to work with and are a very qualified group. Kayden and the team at Blast not only developed the site with great visual design, user experience and thoughtful strategy but created highly targeted social media and search marketing campaigns that have resulted in attaining the right demographic of users for the site. We will definitely continue to utilize Blast for our website development and online marketing needs.

I have been extremely happy with the quality of work done by Blast. We moved everything from our hosting to our PPC, SEO, design, and maintenance. We had a bunch of ideas that we liked for various reasons and yet had a very hard time trying to meld them together into a comprehensive site. Blast was able to take all of them and put them together in the form you now see on our site. We continually get compliments about our site design and professionalism. We have been working with Blast for a bit less than a year now and have gone through both phase 1 and into phase 2 of our site. The feedback and reports are some of the best I have seen from anyone else ever. I have been making some very major changes within our company this year and had stopped all web marketing for about 5 months prior to the launch of our current site. We jumped right back up to the top of our listings very quickly for considerably less than we had been paying previously. Kayden and Charles were entirely correct when they said that taking the time to do it correctly would be worth it. I am in the process of upgrading all of our company software systems right now. One of the vendors I'm working with is very excited because the architecture of our website is current and done in the same format as their program so rolling out our web store with all of the enhanced functions will be much cheaper, faster, and should hopefully be much smoother as well. I have recommended Blast to a couple other local companies and I would confidently tell you the same thing. 'You will not be sorry you made the decision to work with Blast'.

I’ve been meaning to express my appreciation and thanks for all the work your team (Joe, Sean, Charles, Alex and Ken) has been doing for us. I know I’m bombarding them with e-mails and various requests all the time. I appreciate the quick response and fast turnaround. They’re fantastic.

Thanks Kelly. So glad this site is up and going, it looks so freaking cool. I explained to a customer today that our site is "as cool as a man sporting a Member's only jacket with a speedo." It's the only way to explain how wicked our site is...lol. I've never been so excited about a website before.

Kayden and his team at Blast have been great partners. Not only do they have great strategy, design and technology skills, they have a strong methodology and the project management and client service expertise to make every project run smoothly. We've worked with a lot of web design agencies over the years, but Blast is the first place we go when we need web design help - for ourselves or our clients.

Autotask is Project Management made easy. It's efficient and effective. All service desk tickets are centrally located, making it easy for all members of our team to view the status of each project and provide input. Accounting is also simplified; invoices include ticket numbers, making it easy to review projects billed. Blast's personal service is exceptional. The response time by Blast's programmers and designers to a service ticket submission has always been within the hour, very often within minutes. And projects have always been completed quickly and to our satisfaction. Autotask is just one of many innovative tools Blast has implemented that has contributed to the ongoing success of our company for the past seven years. Not only is the Blast team on the forefront of Internet technology, they're also a really great group of people. We highly recommend working with them.

Our trust in Blast Advanced Media has been amply rewarded. We have become a viable e-commerce company whose revenues have quadrupled since we first began working with Blast Advanced Media. Our growth in overall internet sales has increased 20% within the past year alone. Our orders have increased from an average of 32 per day to an average of 274 per day - and climbing. Our web site statistics clearly demonstrate that traffic to our site is continuing to increase significantly. And calls to our customer service representatives about web site problems have been eliminated. Need we say more? Blast Advanced Media is simply the best. And we have the revenues and stats to prove it.

On behalf of DesCor Builders, I want to thank you and your staff for the outstanding job that you did updating our website. We chose Blast Advanced Media for your qualifications, which are impressive, but also for your knowledge of our culture and how you embraced our values, which is just as important to us. We were confident that Blast would create a website that clearly represented "Who We Are" and you have done just that. The entire experience was enjoyable and your project team, lead by Joellyn Detjen, was very responsive to all of our needs, a pleasure to work with and the quality of work is second to none. The anticipation of the new website energized our entire company and we even had a company party to celebrate the launch.

Blast Advanced Media has created a website that everyone here at DesCor is proud of and the feedback that we have been receiving from those who have visited the site is overwhelmingly positive.

I wanted to take a minute to thank your team for excellent performance as of late. I feel a large part of this is thanks to some great work by Shalee. She has proven to me that the TEAM Blast has been trying to build is really coming together. My products have been coming to me with much better Quality control, and the communication has been far above what I have experienced Up Until Now. I had a few questions about wording and such, Shalee was very informed and gave me excellent feedback as to why things are the way they are. Furthermore Yesterday in my hour of most need she was there stayed on the phone with me until I was comfortable that I would be successful in getting the flyer delivered. This was HUGE it not only helped me to save face and deliver when I said I would, but was a huge statement to me and the commitment Blast has to my success. Please give her my thanks and encouragement to keep up the outstanding work.

Can you find out something special that Joe likes. It was his birthday yesterday and Shanti and I want to send him something. Gift certificate to his favorite pub? A bouquet of chocolate chip cookies? Can you subversively give us some ideas? Working with him is a dream come true - I can't begin to tell you how thrilled we are to have him on the PARMA project.

Joe, Thank you for your excellent work! Every time I get your emails with the problems solved - I'm thrilled.The work around for the pop-up block issue works well and will prevent site abandonment. The Overview PDF will be saved as an older Acrobat version - thanks for the catch. Thanks for fixing the graphic loading issue, as well.I'll be passing through a few more fixes in the next few weeks. Greatly appreciate the fast turnaround.

My thirty years' in communication has involved everything from schlepping a TV camera through a corn field in Iowa to interview then-candidate Jimmy Carter to creating and implementing marketing plans for the global launch of the Ford Mustang. In all that time I have never found a more talented and creative bunch than the crew in Roseville , the Blast Advanced Media team. Their mix of creative passion and savvy grasp of technology make them the hottest firm in the states. Jump on now before these guys are so hot you can't get near them!!!

1. The best customer service anywhere! Questions, concerns, and problems are ALWAYS answered (and solved) courteously, professionally, and with lighting speed.
2. Best quality of service anywhere! Every project is handled with the utmost care, not only for the issue being addressed at the time, but also with an eye for those issues which will need to be addressed in the future. The big-picture vision is always kept in mind, which results not only for a better site, but also for the tremendous savings of cost and time to the customer as a result of addressing anticipated problems and resolving them before future projects were begun.
3. The sense that the staff is genuinely interested in the cutomer. The "neighborly" quality that companies such as State Farm promotes really does exist at Blast. These are people that you actually enjoy doing business with and trust implicitly. How many companies can you say THAT about?
4. The staff is incredibly accommodating regarding the convenience and promptness of scheduling meeting requests.

We just wanted to thank the Blast Design team for making the redesigning of our website an enjoyable experience. In the past we have been repeatedly frustrated with designs from other companies. In no time, your company was able to come up with a design that improved our look and functionality. Your attention to detail and customer service is far above anything we have experienced. We look forward to a long working relationship. We are confident that you will help us stay at the forefront of technology and design.
