Some of the folks we've worked with
We've had the pleasure of working with some really great people over the past 18 years."As a relatively small YMCA, it has been a challenge to successfully promote the Y in a timely and cost-effective manner. But, not anymore! This site you developed has given us the opportunity to tell our community about all of the wonderful programs we offer and to promote the true benefit we provide to Northern California.
The site has so many features to help us get the word out. From the easy to find 'program listings' to the 'News and Events' to 'Find it Fast' to 'Story Blocks' to 'Ads' we have a variety of formats to show off what we do. The back-end is so easy and flexible it can be done quickly which means we can keep it constantly updated for best results.
We can't be any happier with the site and with our ongoing relationship with Marketing Intelligence."

"I LOVE the new look of the Shasta Family YMCA Web site.
You've made it easy for me to find what I need and find it fast. Now the class descriptions, exercise schedules, news and information are right there at my fingertips, keeping me informed of what the Y offers. This is another great example of the Y's commitment to our community and to building a healthier North State.
Thank you!"

"The in-house joke use to be that that we avoided telling people to visit our website. Our website was sterile and outdated. Not anymore!! Now, we try to encourage everyone to go to our website. It's bright and interactive and reflects all that our Y does. And, the good news, it's easy to manage. Instantly, internal staff can make changes to the website so information is accurate and current; ads, newsflashes, fast links and daily happenings help visitors know all the latest. We are grateful to MI for helping us create a website that reflects all the good work of the Shasta Family YMCA." Sheri Richmond Healthy Living Director Shasta Family YMCA |
"We are deeply grateful for all you have done for the community at Shasta Family YMCA. As a result of your creativity, commitment and professional knowledge, more people of all ages will benefit from what the Y is offering as a cause driven organization. We are really looking forward to July 11 and all the excitement that comes with the launch of a state-of-the-art website! Again, thanks!!" Al Boren CEO Shasta Family YMCA |
"I am so grateful to Marketing Intelligence for taking on our project. Y's have a lot of information to impart & getting it in a format that is easy to find and use can be a nightmare (for us) or a programmers dream (M.I.). Add on top of that the aspect of integrating with an entirely different web based registration system (Daxko) & you've created a project that provides challenges for even the best web site developers.
Marketing Intelligence rose to and met that challenge & exceeded our expectations for a website that is beautiful, friendly and easy to use. I like the straight-forward aspect of finding programs which lead directly to registration in Daxko. We needed to tweak our tags in Daxko to make this work, but it was worth the effort.
And Andy's knowledge & patience were a huge plus. When I was confused he clearly explained what he needed & sometimes even told me where to get it in Daxko."

"I began working with Marketing Intelligence at the YMCA of Greater Seattle and have continued employing them at the Berkeley-Albany YMCA.
MI is a Marketing Director's dream come true. They can scale their services to meet your needs and budget. They provide out-of-the-box solutions, detailed research, creative design, and comprehensive project management - all for a reasonable fee.
In addition to their business skills, Marketing Intelligence is a pleasure to work with, and understand how to navigate the processes and sometimes competing objectives of a non-profit. MI is also a company that truly cares about the effectiveness of their work for your organization and saving you time and money"

"I hope you know that I truly love working with you and your team. You guys give me such confidence that our message will be delivered accurately, professionally and on time – something that is so important to our Y as we continue to build relationships and credibility in our community. Thank you for your friendship and for keeping our message fresh and so pretty :)." Judy Smith Associate Executive Director Coal Creek Family YMCA |
"I just read the new Y Newsletter for WS (delivered to us yesterday) and it is fantastic! Having seen many different YMCA promotional pieces over the years, this edition stands out. It clearly conveys our YMCA's mission approach to people's health & wellness and helping each individual to achieve their potential in spirit, mind & body... And it is really pretty, too. I know how much work was put into this piece and I want to thank you for capturing not just the data of programs and services available here, but the essence of our work in the Y." Josh Sutton Regional Executive West Seattle & Fauntleroy YMCA/Camp |
"On behalf of the YMCA of Snohomish County I would like to thank you for your continued assistance with and implementing our marketing plan. Since your involvement with the YMCA we have seen a marked turnaround in our program enrollment and membership revenue.
I believe that the YMCA has enjoyed its success largely due to your efforts. Child Care capacity is at 95% at some sites with a waiting list at others. Camp enrollment continues to increase and membership enrollment continues to exceed all expectations. This year the involvement of Marketing Intelligence in publicizing our Invest In Youth Campaign has helped provide a higher profile within the community, raising over $500,000 in annual support. All of these are records for the YMCA of Snohomish County.
Thank you once again for the opportunity to work with your staff in the great work that you do."

Vice President, Operations

"I am pleased to provide this recommendation related to your work with the YMCA of Greater Seattle. As you know, we are very pleased with our marketing results. I believe the reason for that success is directly related to the work of Marketing Intelligence.
We are especially pleased with the sophistication you bring to our marketing efforts. Of particular note is the fact that we've increased our response rates each year for our Summer Camp promotion effort. Our January Membership promotion has also netted positive results.
In this day of 'customer-focused marketing' good service is an expectation, but I must still say that one of the highlights of working with Marketing Intelligence is the level of your service. Your willingness to accommodate the eccentricities of working with the YMCA is appreciated. We also appreciate your attention to details and deadlines."
