BUYER BEWARE
BUYER BEWARE: I think this podcast, when she is actually teaching marketing, is GREAT. But I gained more from the podcast than the THOUSANDS of dollars I invested working with the Hirsh (now Embodied) team. I have now spent well over $20,000 with Embodied Marketing. That is not including ad spend. And have gotten little to no results, little to no strategic help, and little to no movement. I continue to run ads that are similar to what I have run for the past ~4 years with minor copy/creative tweaks suggested by Embodied with no results. If any bigger moves have been made with Embodied, they have been my ideas as opposed to Embodied's guidance. In my time working with this agency, I have been passed from new account manager to new account manager countless times making progress very hard. And frankly the frequent employee turnover is just a bad testament to what is going on internally at Embodied. I have expressed these concerns countless times with Emily, and Fallon, and many account managers. Each time I have expressed my concerns, little to no response or movement has been made. While I think Emily, herself, is brilliant and I DO believe the strategies she shares in this podcast. It seems as though “her gift” of pinpointing bigger strategic changes that need to be made, is absolutely NOT trickling down to her team. You would think that after countless months of no results, someone higher up at Hirsh, OR Emily herself, would step into a meeting to resuscitate the account before loosing a client. From my perspective, It seems Emily along with the Hirsh team are more focused on shifting their own offers, launches, events, than client success. While Emily finds her “alignment,” clients are falling through the cracks. I believe the core value of “ads always work, its just a matter of when” but also, how much money am I supposed to pour onto this in the interim?! It seems like a convenient value to sell people on working with Hirsh and make endless minor tweaks with little to no results while collecting your paycheck.Read full review »

I am very skeptical about who I take advice from. They have to be the real deal. And Emily is exactly that. She has a super successful digital marketing agency and knows how to use the tools to grow your biz. No fluff or theoretical BS here. Adding this one to my favorites!
