I have had the pleasure of working closely with FUEL on a complex project with a lot of important nuances and have really been impressed with the high level of insight and professionalism. They helped tailor an approach that contributed in significant ways to our organization's success. Highly recommend!
I have really enjoyed working with Melinda — great messaging and remarkable turn around!
Very professional, accommodating, and responsive. I have been impressed with their ability to think strategically and offer guidance that is practical and clear. They are a pleasure to work with!
I started a grand experiment when SLFS reopened our cinemas post-pandemic - what would happen if rather than hire a marketing director, I had a whole agency at my side. Someone to create, strategize, and champion the SLFS mission and programs with more expertise (and a deep bench) than as a small nonprofit we could ever afford in staff member power. I honestly wasn’t sure it would work, would I get the personalized niche approach we need, would the quality of our work suffer because we are a client, would the passion for what we do for community come through? In comes Fuel Marketing and every single week delivers to create heart and impact and reach at SLFS. They not only met my expectations, they surpasses them. They deliver high quality, innovative solutions, and deliver on time. They are personal, deeply invested, and are 100% behind me as the executive. Their decades of knowledge is something no nonprofit my size could afford in any one staff member marketing director. The return on investment has been huge, every single revenue line item has grown year over year since we invited them to be part of our mission. Whether it is a membership program or ticket sales, they help us grow stronger and more sustainable. I have not looked back since we tested this model and highly recommend them to any sized company. Their personal approach is built into their company culture, and that matters in a world where digital outreach is shifting and being dictated by AI. If you’re looking for a team that delivers, takes care of the CEO (Melinda is a brilliant writer!) and who will absolutely be there with you through thick and thin, hire them now.
This is an AMAZING group! They are easy to work, listen, and ask great questions to get us the results we want. I wouldn't work with anyone else.
