I paid EmbreTribe $6,000 for blog content creation based on specific (and agreed) keywords, with a clear 3-month timeline. From the start, there were major issues — their writers clearly didn't understand my product’s core value proposition, and I had to repeatedly explain why their drafts were completely off-base. Eventually, they adjusted, but the problems didn’t stop there. First, the articles were delivered very late — in some cases, with no communication for weeks. I had to escalate directly to TJ just to get a response. Second, they began swapping out our agreed keywords for irrelevant ones without any notice or approval. Third, and most importantly: the content did absolutely nothing for my traffic or visibility. Zero measurable impact. When I asked them to stop work and issue a partial refund (after they delivered only 84% of the content, two months behind schedule), they claimed all the work had already been completed — despite the fact that they only sent me the remaining articles after I requested the refund. Bottom line: their strategy doesn’t work, their communication is poor, and their professionalism is lacking. Don’t waste your marketing budget here. Save yourself the money, time, and aggravation.

Truly a horrible agency. Lackluster presentations. A lot of bells and whistles reporting wise with zero actual results or strategy to report on. Cannot stress enough what an unpleasant experience I had with this company. Highly advise anyone to explore other options.

EmberTribe single handedly crushed our business. Our revenue went down more than 50% from when we signed up. During the intro calls they bring up how they have a team of experts to help optimize your existing ads to maximize ROAS, their "team" of experts were only great at finding ways to help us lose money on our ad spend. In the beginning you're assigned a project manager, account manager, and ads manager.. During our term both project and account manager left the firm. Red Flag? During the first month or two we gave them benefit of the doubt as they were making changes to our ads and figured there'd be a disruption to ad performance. It wasn't until month 4 when we started seeing zero results and my team started questioning why we weren't seeing any results yet. Their default answer to everything was that "we have to experiment with the ads to find what will yield results" (this was already 5 months into our contract). What's alarming is that their ads manager mentioned they were doing calls with our FB Advertising Rep and was learning how to tweak our ads. Shouldn't that be a red flag especially if these guys are the professionals here.

We commissioned ember tribe on a monthly Spend of 5k a month for a set number of leads for roofing. We provided consistent feedback on each referral during their campaign. They utilize all in one networking white label system as their own, this meant that ads were hard to adjust when we saw it wasn’t aligning with our brand, getting poor leads to customers who weren’t interested, and very bad home servicing demographics that didn’t match our pricing structure. Demographics such as tenants who are unable to making purchasing decisions, customers looking for a free roof or repair, mobile/smaller/homes isolated from other door knocking opportunities, and lower income areas where disposable income for the type of roof we install isn’t feasible. All this was explained. Our sales people were blamed for not following up, not being able to close, etc. no one can buy from us if they don’t/can’t finance or have the capital. Pretty basic knowledge. Would stay away from them. Discussed our displeasure with them and was told they would run more ads for 2500 and not take the 2500 amount they paid themselves. This is grossly overpaid for a white label service that All in one networking is providing them. They touted woosender as the best thing that it would automate appointment setting but they had no accurately set up - we had in-house staff working to understand it and how that process would work with our sales staff and then setting the appointment. Very convoluted and no sense of direction. Do not use.

We hired them because we were looking for a digital marketing agency. We spent over $4000 in and spend plus $5000 in agency fees and the engagement gave me a sale worth $78! I am serious $78! So basically I spent $9000 to get $78 back. I hope other people do not make the same mistake I made by hiring them! I am not sure about the returns and the unique strategy that they talk about everywhere. They definitely do not know what they are doing.

I run an ecommerce business. With holiday season approaching, we began looking for agencies to ramp up paid ads and after talking to more then a dozen, we decided on EmberTribe in part because they presented the most aligned (in my opinion) pricing, my sales executive told me the pricing would be assessed based on a percentage of revenues generated by ads. We turn down other agencies and commit to EmberTribe, they put us through a 3 week onboard process which takes us to almost middle of November. At the very last minute of our kick off call, the "group account manager" assigned to me suddenly tells me that in order to launch, I need to be aware that there will be a 3000 dollar monthly fee (never previously discussed with me) plus a double digit percentage of ALL STORE REVENUE (even if ads generated just a minute portion of it), which is something I never heard of before and sounded downright ridiculous predatory to me. Not only was this incredibly unprofessional on EmberTribe's part, I'm understandably upset at this last minute bait and switch, especially because it puts us in the middle of holiday season in the dark in terms of launching a professionally managed campaign. In addition, unbelievably, instead of acknowledging my concerns the cofounder tried to turn this around on me by making outright lies and exaggerated slander against my persons while not addressing any of the legitimate concerns I brought up. My experience echos that of the last 1 star review that was on here, these guys are absolutely horrible and the worst, extremely unethical and predatory firm.

I don’t like leaving negative reviews. In fact, I’ve delayed doing so for months. But in the end, I decided it wouldn’t be fair to others to not share my experience. The truth is, EmberTribe left me $4,400 in the hole. Here’s my story: After my initial strategy call, I was excited. The owner himself had told me he was incredibly confident they could take fledgling but profitable business to the big leagues. It would cost me $3,000 a month. After expressing my concern about paying that much a month, they offered me $2,500/month in exchange for a significant share of future profits (in hindsight, it was a pretty raw deal, but I really wanted to get an “expert” working on my ads instead of me, the novice). They sent me some testimonial videos that really made it sound like they knew their stuff, and I signed up. I was assigned a team and the project kicked off. In fairness, my offer involves a travel deal, and right after we started, Covid hit. I was extremely patient, since I assumed Covid was impacting their ability to get results. But there was something nagging at me too… The creative they were producing was pretty crappy. In fact, the video I’d produced myself was WAY better than anything they were churning out. After a while of getting losing results with their creative, they just started using my creative in their ads. BUT HERE’S THE KICKER: Two months in, I took a closer look into the profitability of individual campaigns. During those two months, my own campaigns (which I had set up prior to bringing on EmberTribe) had made $6,000 profit. EmberTribe’s campaigns had made $600 profit, despite having a larger ad budget than my campaigns. Yes, as a complete ads novice, I 10X’ed their results during the exact same timeframe. BUT EmberTribe also charged me $5,000 in agency fees, just about wiping out the entire profit of my own ad campaigns. When I approached them about the results, they “graciously” agreed to let me out of the final month of my contract, but when I asked if they’d be willing to refund any of the agency fees, I was politely declined. Essentially, they required me to take the risk for their lack of results. They made me $600, and took $5,000. As a fledgling business, it’s been tough trying to recover from that.
