We at Glen Mira, had very specific website requirements – in terms of aesthetics and functionalities – and Online Brand Ambassadors managed to tick all the boxes. Their custom design and programming expertise allowed them to balance our requests with suggestive advice on current advertising trends and possibilities.

We love working with Online Brand Ambassadors. Their down-to-earth willingness to help together with their twenty years of expertise in the digital advertising space, makes them an indispensable partner for our company. Jeroen is easy to work with, fair and transparent about costs, and very knowledgeable about web design, social media and advertising.

We had very specific requirements in terms of our website aesthetics and functionalities. Online Brand Ambassadors not only exceeded our expectations in this regard but did so in a way that was transparent and professional. Their 1-stop approach means that one single agency manages all our digital requirements, including website, newsletters, pay-per-click and social media campaigns, as well as data privacy compliance. Highly recommended!

We have used several web design and web service companies in the past and we’ve found Online Brand Ambassadors to be the best from concept through to ongoing support. Informing us of upcoming compliance changes and security items is also ideal for us. Would definitely recommend their services.

We were first introduced to Online Brand Ambassadors (OBA) in 2010. Since then they have worked on several projects for us including three new websites, the rebranding of a financial services company and the creation of a wine estate brand. We have always had a very clear idea of what we are trying to achieve. Through this, we previously we have struggled to find a company that firstly has the skill (i.e. both creative and technological) and secondly is prepared to work with a client like ourselves – who are very involved in the process. Working with Jeroen of OBA truly struck the perfect balance. This relationship has developed over time where they now have a deep understanding of our needs and business interests and have in turn become an integral part of our overall team. Although they are cutting-edge in their ideas, they are uniquely old-school in business dealings. All discussions and dealings are transparent and very comfortable. It is an absolute pleasure working with them.

Online Brand Ambassadors managed to tick all the boxes when it came to professionalism, expertise and flexibility. Working with Jeroen is an absolute breeze! There is nothing that he cannot do in terms of aesthetics and functionalities. With our specific website requirements, he was able to capture our vision and deliver an awesome product!
Communication was also a commendable attribute to add to the list as I always received swift and helpful feedback.

He is very knowledgeable on how to boost traffic through websites, privacy policies, back of house statistics and how to best improve the performance of the site. We feel happy and confident that our website is in good hands!
