I’ve worked closely with Target River to promote a nonprofit in the Ogden area. Over the last year their team of experts has helped us create a new brand guide and website! We also now have a strong social media and web presence. As a result, we’ve been able to help more people who need free medical / dental care! In addition, people in the community have reached out about volunteering or donating because they found us online. Thanks Target River!

They are a great team to work with who are incredibly knowledgeable in school marketing.

Great customer service.

We entered into an agreement with Target River to help us develop strategic marketing to help in our recruitment campaign. Our goal was to fill in difficult vacancies throughout Queen Creek Unified School District. Thanks to their amazing work, we have reduced our vacancies by 50% across all district areas, particularly in the transportation department. We are very close to hitting our target range of 35 additional hires and staff members. This is all thanks to Target River’s high-quality consulting services. Not only are they responsive to our requests, but they are also collaborative in our decision-making and support our overall goals. If we have any questions, they answer them promptly and propose solutions and other options to roadblocks or delays based on the data we’ve reviewed. They have been punctual in their timeline and produce any requested modifications in a timely matter. As our ads go live, Target River keeps us updated on progress and responds promptly to additional consultations to review our performance. They have worked wonderfully within our budget and offered many options at reasonable rates, whether for additional action items or collaborative ideas. Overall, we highly recommend Target River’s services to anyone seeking them.

As a long-standing client and partner both at the school district and county office level, Target River continues to deliver quality marketing and advertising campaigns that meet and often exceed every one of our project’s strategic goals. Partnership has been a critical component in each campaign’s success along with clear communication, evaluation feedback, and idea sharing.

I highly recommend Target River! Brian and his team have consistently provided excellent service, responding promptly and treating us exceptionally well. We are thoroughly pleased with the results!

We are a small nonprofit, and Target River has guided us with steps that work for our capacity and needs, including an increased online presence through a Google Ad grant and helping us to modernize our website. Beyond that, the CEO, Brian Epperson, is a community-focused leader who can see the possibilities in his clients.

Mr. Epperson is someone who consistently demonstrates his passion and commitment to supporting public education. Brian has become a valued member of our Poway USD CTE Advisory Committee. Throughout his years of service on this and a variety of other committees and advisory councils, I have known Brian to be a thoughtful and insightful leader and a talented problem-solver who keeps students at the forefront of his decision-making.

Brian Epperson has both a local and global perspective on K-12 education. He’s recognized as a thought leader, innovator, and champion in the education space.

I cannot say enough about the positive character of Brian Epperson. I first became acquainted with Brian through his professional service and it quickly became apparent that he and his associates operate out of kindness and care rather than profits and personal gain. Brian demonstrated sincere concern for our community. He applied himself to understanding who we are, identifying our needs and helped us realize how to leverage our abilities and resources to realize our potential. All of Brian’s associates exhibit the same sincere care for our most important stakeholders, our students, personified by Brian and his leadership.

We’ve been with Target River for a few months now, and we’ve had a really great experience. Paula and everyone on her team that helps with our marketing is great at reaching out working with our marketing guy to make sure we are in control and know what we have out there, and know the messages we are sending to our customers. Our sales brand guide has been really good! And we get a lot of leads and it’s been great in the few months we’ve been doing it and we’re all excited to go for it and see what we can do for the future.

I am pleased to share my sincere appreciation to Target River for their exceptional support during our recent enrollment campaign. As the Superintendent of Los Alamitos Unified School District, fostering a thriving and vibrant student community is paramount, and Target River played a pivotal role in achieving this goal. Collaborating to address an anticipated enrollment decline, Target River executed a comprehensive marketing strategy through social media, radio, TV, and direct mailing. Despite projecting a loss of nearly 150 students, we experienced a marginal decrease of fewer than five students from the previous year. This success underscores Target River’s strategic approach and innovative solutions. I wholeheartedly recommend Target River as a dedicated, results-driven marketing partner that positively impacted our school district’s vitality.

We started working with Target River due to decreasing enrollment and have continued our work with them because they have become an invaluable part of our marketing and enrollment strategy. We could not do our work without them and we consider them an integral part of our team. Their strategic marketing efforts, leveraging a mix of traditional and digital media, have played a pivotal role in reversing a trend of declining enrollment. By crafting a compelling narrative about our educational programs and community values, they helped us reach and engage potential new students and their families.

The Target River team has been a fantastic marketing team. They have communicated and educated me on all steps of the process. I was grateful for their openness to feedback as we worked to ensure the campaign captured our branding. They gave us suggestions for website improvements and they adapted the campaign in order to receive top results. I highly recommend Target River.

We chose Target River to assist us in streamlining our company’s marketing and education of our unique product. They have been great to work with. Terrell and our team at Target River have been clear and prompt with communication and great collaborators as we create and grow our business and reach.

Our partnership with Target River resulted in a TK/Kindergarten enrollment campaign that reached a broad yet focused audience who were most likely to respond to our district’s unique offerings. The process was easy and the outcome positive, with increased interest in both our early education programs and our district overall. We’re excited to continue our partnership with Target River!
