The full star reviews are fake. I talked to a client of mine whom was SCAMMED hard saying he was already doing business with the radio stations I work for... we tried calling the number on invoice client sent me and it was a fake number. If you have used these guys LAWYER UP and make sure you call your card companies and dispute the charges! Absolutely pathetic. STAY AWAY

My business was scammed. They said they would make an ad and play it on the radio. They even sent me an MP3 of the ad. I listened all weekend and never heard it. The one station promised was not even a legit station it was static! They called me back from several different lines and email addresses trying to get me to advertise again with them. They even have a website to make them look legit. 🙁 I don’t know how these people sleep at night! Please beware!

Make A Change Advertising did a wonderful job delivering what they promised for my business, Airsource Air Conditioning . I was a little skeptical at first after reading some of the other reviews. I called and question the legitimacy and was reassured my ads would air. No payment was due until after the ads aired. I would gladly recommend this to any of my friends and fellow business owners.

I was very pleased with the advertisement, and quality of the content. They created a very unique ad, and far exceeded what I was expecting.

Note: I had listened all day for my first spot, and when it didn’t air, I went right to the reviews. And was shocked to see them. After I sent an embarrassing email, the responded and explained because I was streaming and not listening to the actual radio, I didn’t hear my ad. I apologized, and they actually got me an additional slot. Moral: The reviews aren’t always 100% accurate. I also thought it might have been a scam, took a little bit to figure out. I need to stop jumping to conclusions and I’m happy I gave Make a Change an opportunity to explain themselves before calling BBB and dumping harmful reviews.

A couple customers responded in kind, recognizing my company and the advertisements. I think this was a successful campaign.

I want to thank Make A Change for promoting and supporting the men and women who are on their quests to succeed with their veteran owned businesses. Cheers!

This company is a SCAM. They called me to try and get me to advertise with my local radio station with two weekend spots and a free third weekend spot if I paid up front. The guy was very convincing on the phone. Sounded legit. Then I did my due diligence. The radio station he said they would be advertising on doesn't use their company for ads. They've never even heard of Make a Change Advertising. It's really shameful that companies like this exist today - trying to steal money from hard working local businesses. If you get a call from these guys just HANG UP.

BE CAREFUL OF THIS COMPANY, they are calling and try scamming you about falsely putting you on the air. I’ve contacted an attorney and have called and there's no one to be found I have called the radio station and they said they do there own sales in house.

they called on my cell cold cold im driving. this guy discribes a one day campaign which is really one spot for less than 60 seconds. i tell him im feeling generous and send the contract.
look it over its a joke one radio spot no campaign. i refuse his and all calls for them. now the want to send me to collections for not payng this! its a scam. one spot i might as well throw the money out the window.
take advantage of small business owners. Im contacting my local tv channel to shine some light on these shade practices.
