**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2019

**Describe the project or task Couch & Associates helped with:**

C&A came on board during a critical time in our business, when we were lost our core marketing operations team and were making major changes to our marketing and business processes. Since coming on board, C&A has not only helped our team quickly get back on our feet, they've set the foundation for us to onboard new team members and scale. 

**What do you like best about Couch & Associates?**

C&A goes the extra mile to integrate themselves into your team: they're knowledgeable about industry best practices, but make it priority to understand your business and your business needs. C&A provides solutions are tailored to your business and they equip you with training and documentation so you can scale successfully. 

**What do you dislike about Couch & Associates?**

It's been a pleasure to work with everyone at C&A. I am on the West Coast, so I wish the team was closer so I could say thanks in person! 

**What problems is Couch & Associates solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time Savings & Reduction of Technical Debt: Our outdated Marketo workflows and processes were forcing us to spend more time troubleshooting than generating revenue. C&A helped us run an audit so we could clearly see an inventory of the workflows running in our instance. We were able to turn off outdated workflows and build new ones where necessary.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2019

**Describe the project or task Couch & Associates helped with:**

I have worked with Couch & Associates for many years, at my previous and current jobs. They have delivered marketing automation solutions as well as lead reporting and insight solutions. They have also stepped in when I suddenly lost my resources and helped me manage my marketing automation team and execute on projects - build strategy that aligned with organizational goals, roadmap and reporting KPIs against benchmarks. They were also instrumental in optimizing the investment in my automation platform.

  ### 14. Great experience working with Couch & Associates

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tina B. | Senior Manager, Marketing Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2019

**Describe the project or task Couch & Associates helped with:**

We have hired Couch & Associates for several Eloqua related projects.  Since we do not have an Eloqua expert in house, Couch &Associates has taken on that role.  They really have become an extension of our marketing operations team. 

**What do you like best about Couch & Associates?**

Couch & Associates have been great at constant touch bases through out each project.  They come to the meetings very well prepared so that each meeting is very productive.  We typically can make decisions based on the data presented. 

**What do you dislike about Couch & Associates?**

Not necessarily unhelpful and it's a bit of a like/dislike situation.  Couch & Associates's use an agile model so projects have a finite end date.  This forces us to stay on task, which is great, but there are times where other dependencies might lag so that we are unable to meet the end of the sprint.  In cases like this, however, they have been great about documenting next steps so we can take the reigns.

**Recommendations to others considering Couch & Associates:**

Great group of people to work with - I highly recommend them

**What problems is Couch & Associates solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We would not have been able to accomplish a fraction of what we have since our engagements have started.  Couch & Associates help get our integration back up and running with Salesforce - this was critical (Dan Hight is a rockstar).  They have also build our lead scoring, a complex lead management system, a compliance program and several others. We look good because of their hard work.

  ### 15. Learning more about digital marketing

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2019

**Describe the project or task Couch & Associates helped with:**

They have helped with so many projects. From customer onboarding to acquisition and win back. Most currently we're working on a customer referral program that isn't performing well.  We hope to turn it around.

**What do you like best about Couch & Associates?**

We use Eloqua for email, almost no other non-profits use this software so we're on an island.  They completely understand how to use the tool and its functionality.  Without that knowledge, we could not be successful.  Additionally, they understand digital marketing which is also helpful.  They are all very professional and knowledgable.  They are an essential part of our marketing process.

**What do you dislike about Couch & Associates?**

Their costs are high. My estimation is they are best suited to "for-profit" companies which render far more obvious profitability. 

**What problems is Couch & Associates solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're becoming more modern and automated in our marketing approach. We have learned new approaches and have improved services. We hope to ultimately see far greater profitability in the future, vs just slight reductions in costs and staff time.
