ETV Global Media Fka Marketability
Bait and switch, misrepresentation, deceit, ripoff, pressure, blackmail

We contracted with this company because of there claim to 20 plus years in the marketing industry. We were pressured into rushing our decision all monies overnight because they indicated we would be represented at a trade show that was a few days away. They have admitted that we were never represented at any trade show. We were told they had 300 marketing executives that may be interested in our product after they viewed our product and website. After the media fax was sent out the only phone calls we received was from people who also wanted more money that was similiar to marketability. They indicated they secured 2 zero cost joint ventures for us when infact these are the same joint ventures for everyone. The national comcast tv are spots you can buy for $30.00 each. We paid over $9000. After speaking with comcast we learned there is no way to track the viewing audience however marketability dba etvglobal media indicated there was as many 5 million viewers x10 airings. The call center we paid for was marketability and not a dedicated call center. Mike Hughes said he is relearning the advertising industry and we are now only an experiment. He stated no one knows what works. The radio ads he secured are a friend of his of 20 years. They blackmailed us into signing a document stating we were happy with there services or they would not continue with the production of the commercial. The quality was so poor the local tv station refused to air. Do not do business with this company. The marketing tools he offers are the same you find on line. The production was so poor we could have produced ourselves. The contract stated we would have a commercial with 60 days and it took almost 4 months. Marketability admits we did our part and did so very well. The $9000.00 we gave to marketability did not result in one sale for us. This company has completely misrepresented themselves and there ability to help you market your product. We have lost valuable time and money working with this company who has changed there name 3 times
