If I hadn’t met Sarah, I would still be flailing, scattered, and feeling very alone on this entrepreneurial journey. 816 New York meets me exactly where I am in every moment, offering a kind of support that communicates to me that they are just as invested as I am in watching me succeed.

Rebranding our agency as well as creating a website can be very difficult due to the demand necessary to see this type of project through. 816 New York made this process and experience seamless. Everyone involved had a wonderful experience.

On behalf of our little precious team, I wish to express our appreciation for the work you have done. We really enjoy working with you and it feels supportive in many ways.

Fransiscus Ismaël, PR & Outreach Officer Nalandabodhi International

I’ve been really impressed with the 816 New York team’s ability to pull everything together. I work with a good amount of vendors that can only get you 85% of the way through a project.

Stephen Ethier, Director of IT Springfield Housing Authority: Springfield, MA

816 New York understands communication, design, and technology. That collection of skills and knowledge enables them to deliver turnkey solutions with minimal work and/or feedback from the customer. Working with vendors like 816 New York allows me to continue to do more with less.

You are so incredibly appreciated. Thank you for helping us focus. I don’t know what we would have done without you – for real.
