Marketing Valet is a very responsive agency that is able to turn projects around on incredibly short timetables. Adobe's DMO organization uses Marketing Valet for a wide variety of projects ranging from eMarketing campaign to rich media productions, and I have been consistently impressed with the quality of the work as well as the value pricing. Marketing Valet employees are a joy to work with as they pretty much never say "no" and always provide very solid advice and guidance on projects. The project management team at Marketing Valet is top notch and my team could not be happier with the service they provide."

Marketing Director Xsigo Systems San Jose, CA
I’ve worked with Marketing Valet on over a dozen Web-based projects, and they have consistently provided excellent service and very reasonable prices. They have a can-do, no-complaints attitude that makes them a pleasure to work with. Because they're open 24 hours, the projects I assign to Marketing Valet at the end of my work day are usually finished the next morning. Highly recommended."

The MV team does a great job of producing an internal monthly marketing newsletter for me. There is a lot of content and many revisions are required. The team does an excellent job of copy-editing, layout and keeping things on track to ensure that the newsletter gets out on time. The team is flexible and fast - changes get incorporated quickly which is much appreciated. Marie Salamanca is my main point of contact. She is extremely responsive, communicative, and organized with a positive attitude. She is a pleasure to work with! Thanks for everything, Marie and Marketing Valet!!!"
Product Marketing Manager Adobe Systems San Francisco, CA
Marketing Valet employees are very professional, knowledgeable and make for good partners. They gain a deep understanding of each projects and deliver drafts which are typically right on point! They produce a wide variety of projects for us including monthly newsletters, HTML email blasts, AIR Applications, websites and portals, and much more. Some are longer-term, ongoing projects, and others are quick turnaround items. Marketing Valet does a great job of balancing all of those priorities and delivering upon sometimes very challenging deadlines."
