GBEmber Tribe is a game changer A colleague recommended Ember Tribe to us and the brand had a record year with stellar performance kpi's. The Ember Tribe team makes things easy to understand and communication has been incredible. I consider them part of the brand at this point and will continue to rely on their expertise.

GBUnethical firm, run far away 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.

GBAVOID Embertribe, unless you want to lose money 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.

GBTruly a horrible agency 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.
