Dark Horse provided my company Makers Cabinet with 14 months of Performance Marketing management across Meta, Google and other Social platforms. Before our relationship was initiated we expressed our difficult previous relationships with marketeers. The team at Dark Horse were understanding, straight-talking and did not over promise. DH consistently met targets set by us and were a pleasure to work with and grow our business with. I would definitely recommend working with the team because of their expertise, good communication style and effective skills in performance marketing. Note that we are changing provider because we are looking to have content creation and marketing under one provider.

I personally dealt with Dark Horse on behalf of my events company when looking for PPC specialists. Dark Horse provided a very comprehensive audit and I was particularly impressed with the professionalism that came with it. Andrew and Dave provided great insights and explained in laymans terms what they would do and why. They weren't pushy in any way and were very straight talking and to the point which is what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend Dark Horse to anyone looking for a PPC partner
