Pros

I have freelanced for many marketing agencies and like having the flexibility it gives me. But having freelanced for many LA-based digital and traditional agencies, I can say that I love this group of people. Not only are they smart in analytics, campaign creation, digital and streaming media and marketing automation work. But in addition to being smart, this is an agency with NO POLITICS. It's super healthy and everyone is on the same team. It's a true pleasure and I look forward to opportunities where we can work together again

Cons

There really aren't any cons, to be honest, but be aware that Prove is an agency focused on real customer acquisition and retention, not "brand awareness". So they don't go after clients like Coca-Cola, instead focusing on companies like Providence Hospitals and Ecommerce companies that need massive optimization.

Thank you for the kind words. It is true that we do not tend to pursue awareness-focused companies. We like to have a bigger impact on companies by delivering actual revenue--leads, sales, subscriptions, etc. We have been blessed to have so many great clients who allow us to do great work. We hope to have you back on a project soon!

Pros

I spent many years of my working career at Prove. It is an amazing family, all striving to deliver a great service to its clients, who span a wide range of industries. To me the fact that we provided a wide array of digital marketing and technology services gave me a lot of knowledge about different technologies (from Craft CMS to Angular to React Native to Wordpress to BigCommerce, Shopify and many other platforms we have used over the years. I was given the opportunity to evolve my own skills so that, while our main deliverables were websites, apps and API integrations of various systems (CRM, marketing automation, Twilio, Intercom, Google stack products, etc.), I never felt like things were getting stale.

Cons

Prove is a boutique and super-smart agency but doesn't typically do long enterprise-level website development. Prove is really great at doing websites and apps that are high converting but I was ready to move on and start getting involved in massive builds after so many years here. Sad to leave.

Pros

The company has had some good employees over the years. Unfortunately, all soon come to realize the failures and foibles of its troubled founder and leave as soon as they realize that the company is a horrendous can of worms.

Cons

This company was originally called PLACEMENTS MEDIA. I recommend that anyone looking at this Glassdoor review also goes and look at PLACEMENTS MEDIA on this same Glassdoor platform. The reviews there reflect the true character the founder and CEO of Prove who we all really know. Don’t be fooled by the fake good reviews that have been posted here. It is no coincidence most were all written within a very narrow timeframe around November 2018. The Prove founder has reinvented himself many times to stay ahead of his bad and unethical reputation. As soon as he is smoked out, his chameleon-like personality changes again. He has done this too many times now to hide the long legacy of his sociopathic past. He can reinvent himself again but thank goodness for the Internet where his name can be searched, and his sordid past can be uncovered. Beware, those who come to work here! You will be adding a black mark to you career by associating your name with the founder of Prove/PLACEMENTS MEDIA. Others have regretted it, and so will you.

I'd like to clarify a few things here. For starters, Prove itself has been in existence for 11 years now. Beginning in January 2020, David Vallejo was promoted to CEO and runs the day-to-day operations. He has over 20 years of Digital Marketing experience. You can look him up on LinkedIn and read the recommendations he has received. Prove is in great hands and has been building a strong team that delivers results for our clients.
