**** WARNING **** I agree with MN, this company is a scam. They charged me $5000 for an ad in a Houston, West University community newspaper. To this date I have had ZERO response. Notice that their 5-star reviews never mention any return on investment. I don't even know if they have published my ads since, I only received a West University magazine for January and February. Where is March and April??? The style of the ads they print show that they are NOT branding experts. Do not fall for their slick marketing campaign. Save your money and do referral marketing instead. It even gets worse from here. They sent my account to collections. First collections says I owe $1400. Then a second collections letter says I owe $4500. I called collections to get an explanation and they know nothing. Then I called Best Version Media at 888-632-0068 and they don't answer the phone. These people are slime. **** WARNING ****

The print ads are misleading. They say you will be advertised in all the best Zip codes for the magazine and that's true, but then you find out the distribution is quarterly instead of monthly. They charge you monthly though. I verified this by questioning several people that I know who receive the magazine. They all say "about once a quarter" and they live in different neighborhoods. That means most of them never saw the "expert contribution" I made in a section of the magazine which I paid extra for. The other side is the digital media ads. They claim views of 20k to 30k each month, but the actual traffic going to facebook or my website are next to zero. In essence the digital traffic reports are completely made up. You're paying for a fake report each month. They do an ad mockup to show you what it looks like and then send out a billing with the supposed ad traffic numbers. I'm not sure what they cant actually just drive traffic to your business pages instead of doing what they're doing. After paying them for 18 moths to do nothing with digital, I ran an ad directly with facebook for one week and the traffic increased from 20 views on a one year old ad that I made myself (and BVM was supposed to promote), to 1,100 views. I also got 2 clients out of it that week. It cost me $38 to Facebook, instead of $250 to BVM. The click through rate to my website also went up after running that one ad. Then they try and pressure you saying that it is a legal contract and you cant opt out for another couple of years, until the contract expires. They're scammers, and should be treated as such. I hope this helps someone who comes across this. Find a different ad agency, this organization will take you for tens of thousands if they can. They got me for over 12k because I wasn't paying attention. I had a lot on my plate at the time wearing all the hats, caring for a parent, death in household etc. I hired them to advertise my company and they just robbed me instead. It almost sunk the company with the lack of new business. Don't let it happen to you.

You have to be a rich unemployed person to work for them and pay for there services. This company is a scam. They have a system called baseline, where you have to pay arround 6000 CAD per month from your own pocket. On Top it is coldcalling and you have to find your own clients, so there is no help and no team who will support you.

I had a really bad experience with this company, especially the coach that was designed to me. When I tried to switch I couldn't because he was the one designated to the Area and they didn't had other one so I left. Coaches are not supposed to judge other trainees and talk bad about them to other workers and they should keep the relationship professional and not trying to be to friendly. Sometimes I thought that he wanted something more than being my coach. Still small in Canada

scam service. says one thing in person and sneaks fine print behind in the contract to trap you excessive debt. went from. $1050 for 3 years coverage to $1050/month for a no name magazine company. STAY FAR AWAY! This is a marketing scam service!

Your app is absolutely terrible! It discounts constantly and then requires you to watch 5 minutes of ads. Avoid at all costs!!

This is about their hiring process specifically, but it makes the rest of the company look really scummy. I really would be appreciated if any of the contact was more upfront about the fact that it was a commission role, and I didn't have to find that out myself. How much it would've sucked if that happened after I had already accepted the job. On the interview, after saying hi, they asked about me and I answered. I asked them about the role. If it was a commissioned role, and if there was a wait between working and getting paid as long as 4 months as I had read some people say online. And as soon as they knew that I had read any of the employee reviews and knew what the role was, that it was an independent contractor. They ended the call very quickly. Nothing on my resume in the first place indicated that I should work in sales. I don't think any of the people who reviewed my resume know anything about what I do. They really don't care at all if you're suited for the role. There's zero cost to them if you fail and waste 2-4 months of your life, so they just contact you anyways and hide the fact about how little they respect, trust or are investing in you when they send you the interview or offer. And everyone there knows that what they're doing is scummy so that as soon as they know that you know anything about what the position actually is they stop talking to you. They don't seem disappointed at all, they know it too. Just on to the next guy who knows nothing about the company and role and hopefully by the time he learns it's too late.
