Empty promises Perhaps the worst marketing agency I worked with.

Honestly, I couldn't expect any worse. Premise: our Kickstarter project wasn't successful and we're fully aware that this is not (only) caused Funded Today's. It's a series of things that just didn't work out well. However, our experience with Funded Today has been horrible and we couldn't be more disappointed. We purchased a pre-campaign and the newsletter + ads services, for a total of 5.500 USD. During the pre-campaign phase, we experienced: - A confusing and approximate planning. We've been forced to postpone our launch multiple times because Funded Today missed all the deadlines multiple times or made silly mistakes. - An awful Email Lead Generation landing page. The first version was dramatic, and they started promoting it with a wrong project name, a wrong URL slug, a completely misleading design and without waiting for our approval, also wasting some of our ads budget. The second version was slightly better, but still not even close to our expectations. And the ELG performance has been extremely poor, as expected. During the live campaign: - The results from ads have also been disappointing, but the experience here was not that dramatic and they communicated with us in a more accurate and timely manner. - About the newsletter, we're wondering how is it possible that we obtained only a hundreds of views from a mailing list with hundreds of thousands of subscribers (as they claim). Maybe Funded Today's mailing list quality and its open rate are not as good as they say, and definitely not worth the extremely high price they ask for. And then, the cherry on top: - At the end of the campaign, they sent a survey to all our backers, on our behalf and using our account, asking for their personal data (i.e. email address) with a scammy form and without prior approval from us. This is not just illegal, it's also extremely unfair. In conclusion, working with Funded Today has been a complete waste of time and money. We had to postpone the launch for several weeks, they stole email addresses from our backers sending a scammy survey on our behalf and they've been unclear, hasty, inaccurate most of the time. And — most importantly — they disappeared and started to ignore all our messages when the it was clear that the project wouldn't have reached the goal. This is so unprofessional and unfair that it's really hard to believe. If you're about to launch a project on Kickstarter, do yourself a favor: avoid Funded Today. Please. I also reported all of the above to Kickstarter, as I believe it is in their interest not to be associated, affiliated or linked to Funded Today. We're now considering to take legal action. If you also had a similar experience with them, send me a message. I've read hundreds of bad reviews like mine and I'm pretty sure we can join forces for a class action.

This service is a scam They kept chasing us to work with them and convinced us that they would help us succeed with our Kickstarter. We paid them for Kickstarter design, newsletter and ads. After payment, funded today went quiet for 2 weeks, and then finally started with the design. Their first draft was horrible, the second edit round made it even worse. And by that time, we were 6 weeks further! Delays upon delays and lie on a lie, funded today kept us running behind them as soon as we paid. We hired a freelancer to design the page for us. It took her 4 days and we were ready to launch. If it was not for Funded today. They didn't reply for 1 week, and then told us they would need 3 more weeks before we could go live. 3 more weeks on top of their massive delay already... but we did not have a choice. We paid them, they didn't want to refund us, so we kept waiting. We launched, finally, 5 weeks ago. After 2 days, funded today totalled us $650. 650 dollars!!!!! That's all these scammers got us! No support, no help, only that our product was not good and they needed to stop their efforts. Hold on, they chased us before we even went live with our campaign, with daily emails from Jordan. Their scammy sales tactics made us lose 3 months of our time, expenses totalling over $8000 and nothing to show for it. If you have a dream of launching a successful Kickstarter then DO NOT listen to their stories and do not go overboard when they send you daily emails. They do not have your interests in mind, only their bank account and will drop you as soon as you paid them.

They will claim you submitted your product to them They reached out to us and said "Thanks again for submitting to our page the other day! We appreciate the opportunity to potentially partner with us on your upcoming crowdfunding campaign! " We don't have anything to do with the product they are talking about so we were able to call them on their lie, so don't buy it

I do not advise dealing with them. I do not advise dealing with them. We contacted Funded Today on the recommendation of our colleagues when our Kickstarter campaign had already started and raised the first $ 20k. We were promised decent results and a lot of opportunities for working with Facebook and e-mail distribution in the backers database. As a result, they set up advertising on Facebook much worse than our specialists and there were no results at all, and their mailing gave additional sales of about $ 5k ... we got all the rest of the income from backers passively, without the efforts of people from Fund Today. For all their services, they billed us about $ 8k, which did not correspond to the work performed at all. Manager Jordan stopped responding to our messages altogether when he realized that they had done their job poorly. P.S. In addition, be aware that they can steal your customer base and edit your Kickstarter campaign without your consent, which was also in our case.
