Southwest Florida Media Consultants

I took the time to read the other Google reviews of SW Florida Media Consultants and although there were a couple of negative reviews most appear to be positive. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for SWFMC, I'm one of the few unlucky ones who had a miserable experience with Adam Hartig and his company. Without going into a lot of boring detail I'll try to keep my experience short and to the point. In February 2023 I paid Southwest Florida Media Consultants $2,000 to develop a marketing plan for my photography. No plan was developed or implemented by mid summer, which is when the busiest time of year begins with a lot of work and travel. In October 2023 I began the process of trying to get my money back. I had received no goods or services and Adam Hartig's company, SW Florida Media Consultants, had received $2,000 7 months before for doing absolutely nothing. Numerous attempts were made by me in October and November to contact SWFMC and their rep I worked with early in my involvement with the company. My request was very simple: just return my $2,000. ALL of my text messages, phone calls, emails and attempts to reach SWFMC through their website were completely ignored for 2 months. Finally, on December 7, Adam responded to a strongly worded message I sent through his website. I decided to go with stronger wording because the nice guy approach was failing epically, proof that sometimes you need to get fairly firm in order to get a response. In his December 7 response Adam told me flat out that he would not be returning my full $2,000. He had paid my rep (his employee, or subcontractor, or whatever) a little over $600 in commissions and fees and in his mind that's why he didn't owe me the full $2,000. After getting my attorney involved and having to threaten Adam with a trip to small claims court, SW Florida Media Consultants issued a credit of just under $1,400 to my credit card two weeks ago. This amount was never agreed to by myself or my attorney

I contacted Adam to help me set up my google business account and he did great! He showed me why having a business page is so important and educated me on the rest of the services he provides. When I’m ready to set up a website he will be the guy doing it. He’s easy to talk too and super welcoming and super smart. I’d recommend him to anyone who owns a business and wants to find other ways to reach your potential clients! Thanks for everything!

Been dealing with Adam for over 7 years now. The experience has been amazing. Adam and the team are hands on and very knowledgeable. Thank you! Highly recommended!
