But he also brings creative strategy and thinking to the table that will push your product beyond your expectations. Matt's high standards will not allow you to be anything other than great." — Jon Friesch, Marketing Director (2008-08-22) Source

  • "Matt and the team at Astuteo consistently deliver high quality work, and they do it quickly - often these qualities don't go together, but they do at Astuteo. Their deep understanding of design and digital marketing have helped us drive measurable traffic to our website and mobile App. The fact that they do things right the first time has given us the confidence to take a hands-off approach, resulting in a lot of saved time and value. Highly recommended." — Tom Zampini, President (2014-11-13) Source

• Testimonials:
  • "We have had the privilege and fortune to work with Matt Everson (Astuteo) on a large-scale branding, marketing, website, and analytics project. The project was to serve as a milestone for our company, so we had one overarching objective going into the endeavor—avoid all compromise. After interviewing other firms of various sizes and expertise, it became extremely clear to us that Matt fully comprehends the complex interplay between business results, style, substance, and functionality. This intuitive understanding enabled him to make meaningful recommendations that challenged our thinking. This resulted in a fantastic transformation that exceeded our highest expectations on every level." — Grant Nesheim, President (2014-05-02) Source

  • "Matt Everson is a great find! He has taken the time to understand our business and then translate our web objectives into first-class solutions. He delivers above and beyond what we ask for every time.With the addition of Jack Borgo to Astuteo, we now have a window into our web analytics. With Jack's guidance, our SEM program has taken off, and we have a much better understanding of where our customers are coming from, what they look at and what we need to do to capture more conversions.Matt and Jack are a great team. I HIGHLY recommend Astuteo!!" — Deb McKenzie, Marketing Director (2014-11-04) Source
  • "In my opinion, Astuteo is a cut above all other web agencies. Yes, they excel at the blocking and tackling where they have a keen eye for design and keep a watchful eye on Google's ever-changing algorithms, but what really sets them apart is their business savvy. Matt and his team have immersed themselves into our business and even after several years of working with us, they continue to demonstrate a tireless effort to understand our evolving challenges. Some days, I think they know our business and our competitors as well as I do which only increases the credibility of their input and overall work." — Jim McCann, VP Marketing (2017-11-30) Source

• End: 2014-07-28
• Status: Ended (concluded)

• Testimonials:
  • "We interviewed Matt, among other competitors, to help us update and upgrade our law firm website. While smaller than the other competitors, we chose Astuteo because we felt we would get his personal attention and dedication to a quality result. We made a good decision. Astuteo knows what makes a professional website. They came in on budget and on time with a dynamite result.We have since hired Astuteo for some other smaller assignments, and have been equally pleased with the results. I highly recommend Astuteo and Matt Everson." — Brad Murphy, CEO (2011-06-10) Source
