219 Group - Fayetteville, North Carolina

Kirk and his team were completely unprofessional. My company paid over $60,000 in the span of a year+ and all for my webpage to be completely ruined after we cut services with them. All the work done went to the trash and I had to start over from scratch because this company lacks ethics and good business practices. The worst part of working with 219 was dealing with their team. Kirk was extremely disrespectful, unprofessional, and frankly misogynistic to multiple female employees within my company. Kirk would talk down to my girls and demand to speak with "the man" when in meetings, and even made my employees cry on more than one occasion. Kirk was an absolute nightmare to work with, has zero professionalism, and simply underdelivered in every aspect. Kirk severely lacks leadership, rapport, commitment to his customers and company. Very disappointed with the services I paid for. Would not recommend. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for better priced and professional work.

EDIT:
It’s disappointing, but not surprising, to see yet another unprofessional response from this company. My brief experience with Kirk and his team was enough to make one thing abundantly clear: professionalism and respect are not priorities here. Kirk, your repeated hostility and condescension—especially toward female employees—was evident from the start. Multiple people can attest to your rude and dismissive behavior, and it’s a pattern, not an isolated incident. If you truly valued clear communication, you’d understand that it’s not just about getting responses from management—it’s about treating everyone with basic respect.

Beyond your lack of professionalism, the work itself was subpar. The website you delivered was completely unusable due to improper post-service handling, which directly contradicts ethical and industry-standard practices. No one on my team made any changes to the site, so the blame falls squarely on your poor execution. Instead of addressing these shortcomings, you default to defensiveness and deflection—another pattern that others have also experienced.

Let’s be clear: demanding to speak to someone else just to maneuver your way into business is not only unprofessional, it’s unethical. The impression you left was neither positive nor professional, and given that this experience is far from unique, others deserve to be warned. We have chosen to sever all ties, as there is no place for hostility and unprofessionalism in any working relationship. Hopefully, you’ll take this as an opportunity for self-reflection, because without a serious change in attitude, both your reputation and your business will continue to suffer.

219 Group is second to none! As a new business owner, I can honestly say that I feel that working with 219 Group has made launching my business much easier. Their rates are very reasonable, and they employ business practices that make communication about your project quick and efficient. I'm a perfectionist, and love that 219 was able to provide me with a website, business card design, and logo design that was exactly what I envisioned. I could go on & on, but it still would not serve this business justice! You can't go wrong with 219 Group :)!

When we decided to focus on a more digital/web approach to advertising for our long established Jewelry Showroom in Raleigh we sought personal referrals from colleges and media outlets which led us to 219 Group. We liked the personal attention from the owner Kirk and the "small firm" vibe as well as the well thought out, comprehensive proposals they presented, so we hired them in early 2015. While it took a little longer to get the ball rolling than we expected, we are now experiencing positive results and are excited about the pace of campaign development we receive from Lydia and the design team. We are now ahead of the curve on our seasonal advertising and developing a referral program, and loyalty program ahead of schedule. I would recommend considering them for their knowledge and execution in digital advertising and web development.

This company has become not only my business associates but family. I have been working with this group of talented people for over 4 years and I must say I have not regretted it not once. Kirk really has a great team that can bring some awesome ideas to the table for advertising. I always have trouble brain storming so they encourage me to let them do all the work. I am always satisfied when I see their final product. Keep up the good work team!! You offer such a great service!

I had an amazing experience with 219 Group. They sat down and listened to my ideas about a new logo and website for my business and helped develop them into something that blew my customers away. I'm proud to hand out my new business cards and see the reaction on my client's face. Thank you 219 Group, you have truly set the standard!

We have been doing business with 219 for over four years. I can not say enough about Kirk and his team, extremely professional and outstanding work. You never truly realize how much you need a strong marketing team in your corner when you are trying to attract people to your business/website/social media etc...219 takes the stress off of “what to do” they have amazing ideas, awesome creative team and a very strong support system. I’m not sure where we would be without them! I strongly recommend to have 219 in your corner and apart of your team! Thank you 219 for everything you have done to grow our business into what it has become today, would not have it any other way. You guys are the best! 🤗
