Client Reviews
Meghan Stanton - Founder Henry Duvall
Hiring Buddy + Co was far and away the single best decision I have made for Henry Duvall in our first year in business. I feel so lucky to have found Christopher and his team and cannot imagine where Henry Duvall would be today without them. The growth and success we have seen in our first year in business is so tied up in my partnership with Buddy + Co, and it is because they truly believe that your success is their success. Everything they do is with that mentality and I am continually blown away by the support I receive from them.
Practically speaking, I never could have imagined all the ways that Buddy + Co would help me along this journey. There is truly no part of our business that they have not touched and improved upon, from product development to production to social media to our website. Christopher is so incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in the retail industry and his entire team is always ready to roll their sleeves up to help share the workload or solve a problem.
But what truly sets Buddy + Co apart is the relationship you gain with them. A year ago, I was a solo entrepreneur, trying to navigate my way through a new career and new industry, and now I have a partner in this business who is just as invested in its success as I am. Christopher, Jess, and their team have become trusted advisors, amazing colleagues, and dear friends. That is not something you find every day, and it has been invaluable for me as I create and grow this business.
