We've had the pleasure of working with RAVEN5 on contest marketing programs for two years running. We are pleased to recommend the team at RAVEN5 for a variety of reasons, primarily, their company provides outstanding creative, solid program development and ongoing customer service. Equally important, the program has delivered over 40,000 prospects for my business portals. The company intentions are to continue working with RAVEN5 on an ongoing basis. Success is common place for any initiative that this firm is involved in. Their credentials are excellent and knowledge impeccable. - Jeff G.

Working with RAVEN5 on the sweepstakes project for Finning Canada was a great experience.  Michael and the team were incredibly professional, managing our multi-stakeholder team and meeting tough deadlines.  They also accommodated program changes late in the development to meet a change in requirements on our end.  We have plans to work with Raven5 to run the program again. - Nicole M.
