Funded Today - Email Marketing We used Funded Today for email marketing on our Kickstarter campaign: GravGrip | Battery Free Camera Stabilization. Funded Today helped out in the final days of our campaign. They were quick to act and helped us collect an additional $30,000 in tracked funding. I would recommend the use of their new email marketing channel. Give it a look!

Didn't send out newsletter then refused refund I booked a newsletter with a few companies. Funded.Today being one of them. I booked everything with them and sent the required access for my kickstarter project. I sent followup requests when the project launched and never heard back from the Funded.Today Team. I sent an email about 5 days after launch asking for a refund and then they proceeded to tell me that they don't do refunds even though the service wasn't even attempted to be delivered. He then went to explain that there's multiple companies under the same umbrella which essentially use the same resources and end up charging you twice. This was not disclosed so I wanted to get a refund and didn't want to work with them. They then basically told me to go away and refuse to do a refund. I'm also filing a police report against them.

Positive experience We had a positive experience working with FT on our MadClockMaker project. When we launched our campaign by ourselves we gathered $ 7,000 by the 10th day of the campaign. Then we decided to collaborate with FT, who helped us to raise near $41,000 in 35 days. This fact also impacted our organic traffic so we were able to raise $78,014 by the end of the campaign. We would like to mention great communication with FT team, who helped and support us during all the period via Skype. Generally, we got the best results thanks to their several services as - FB ads - newsletter and cashback newsletter - new channel - posts on social media.

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.

My Review of Funded Today Funded Today is the best marketing agency for crowdfunding. Hands down they have raised more money dollar for dollar than any other agency out there. They do paid media facebook and instagram ads for Kickstarter and Indiegogo projects. They have the largest cross promotion network among crowdfunding. They possess a cashback affiliate network and email database of over 250 k subscribers and they consistently land campaigns major crowdfunding press month after month. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my crowdfunding project. Funded Today is legit!
