Read what some of our customers are saying…

We welcome the opportunity to help your organization meet your challenges and achieve your goals.

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to engage CKS Marketing’s services across three different organizations where I served as President and CEO: SkyePoint Decisions, Compendium Federal Technology, and Millennium Health and Fitness. In each instance, your team’s strategic insights and execution were instrumental in bolstering our business growth and enhancing our marketing efforts. Whether it was navigating the complexities and nuances of Government Contracting (GovCon) Engineering and Information Technology markets to reach decision makers and stakeholders with SkyePoint and Compendium, where your understanding of the message mediums and tone was particularly valuable, or understanding the distinct needs of the government health and fitness sector with Millennium, CKS Marketing consistently delivered valuable support and demonstrated a keen understanding of our objectives.

Christa and her team of marketing professionals understand how to build a brand, reinforce growth strategies with social media and thought leadership positioning, and showcase employee talent to foster retention and recruiting. CKS was a strategic partner and advisor that enabled our success!

Frank SturekVice President & Head of Growth, Detroit Defense

Christa Santos is a respected leader and connector in Central Florida’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Through CKS Marketing, she brings thoughtful strategy, trusted relationships, and a genuine commitment to community impact. While our work together has been indirect, I’ve consistently seen her drive successful outreach efforts, elevate visibility for key initiatives, and champion the growth of small businesses in our region. She is a valued asset to the ecosystem and a catalyst for collaboration.

Julie MatthewsChief Operating Officer, National Entrepreneur Center

CKS Marketing Communications played a key role in enhancing our company’s brand presence. They successfully updated and modernized our website, ensuring it aligned with our corporate image and was optimized for user experience and accessibility. Their strategic approach and attention to detail significantly improved our digital footprint. In addition to the website overhaul, CKS was responsible for all of our marketing materials, from design to messaging. Their creativity and consistency helped us present a professional and cohesive image across all platforms. They also led our public relations efforts, skillfully managing media communications, press releases, and promotional campaigns that increased our visibility and credibility within the government contracting space.

Throughout their time working with us, they have been professional, proactive, and results driven. They have been a trusted partner who took initiative and delivered high-quality work on time and on budget. Their deep understanding of branding and communications strategy made a tangible impact on our company’s growth and reputation. I highly recommend CKS Marketing to any organization seeking an experienced and dedicated marketing and PR firm. They are an asset to any team and will bring creativity, expertise, and excellence to all they do.

Chris BaetenCEO, Knight Federal Solutions

It is my pleasure to recommend CKS Marketing Communications and Christa Santos for any marketing effort. During my 5 years as Chief Administrative Officer for OSC Edge, we struggled to develop marketing ourselves internally. Once we engaged with Christa, we got professional guidance and support and it suddenly became easy and on track. Christa listens well and understands rapidly what we are doing, what our goals are, and aligned our efforts to match. Our presence on social media took an immediate and consistent jump in visibility. Later, she aligned our marketing with our Business Development efforts and new product offerings. Our staff all enjoy working with her and she does not hesitate to take the next level effort to ensure success. There have been times when our internal people were not responsive but she ensure communications that never let a ball drop.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Christa and her company for any level of marketing support.

Skeeter LieberumChief Administrative Officer, OSC Edge

I am your best fan! I always speak of you with great admiration. Your media connections, experience and wisdom was extremely valuable. I will be honored to help you. If we had a healthier budget we would hire you for more!

Phyllis ChenJW Machine

Jason, she was our Marketing Consultant, not just social media. We did not hire her to produce any business, we hired her to improve our image and she more then delivered. She definitely changed our image! Christa truly transformed the way we do business and our own mindset by developing a comprehensive marketing plan that encompasses all aspects of our business, and all marketing segments (printed, web site, blogging, Twitter, Facebook, etc).

Gabriel RuizAdvanced IT Concepts (AITC)

When I was referred to CKS Marketing and made contact with Christa Santos I had low expectations as a result of dealing with other marketing firms for my small business and not having a good experience with either. Christa and her team exceeded my expectations and did so with the professionalism and personal attention that ensures a long-term relationship between us. Unlike other marketing firms CKS listened to our needs and desires, made suggestions, educated us in what might be best for the future of our firm in regards to bringing in new business and did all of this within our budget. CKS worked promptly and responded in a timely manner and their communication exceeded what seems to be the norm in business today. Their knowledge of marketing, attention to detail, attention to their client and the final products produced and ‘unveiled’ to the public are more than I could have hoped for. I will not hesitate to refer CKS Marketing to other small business owners for all of their marketing needs. It has truly been a pleasure working with Christa and her entire team at CKS Marketing!

Christa and I have worked together for over twenty years. During this time she has demonstrated a great interest and dedication to the field of marketing. Due to her strong work ethic and professionalism, I feel confident in recommending her as a source of support for your marketing efforts.

Gordon H HoganDirector, UCF Business Incubation Program

I LOVE it! I love the coloring as well, very bold.

Donna GardinierAdvanced Technologies

Christa Santos is one of our region’s best events managers.

Randy BerridgeFormer President, Florida High Tech Corridor Council

I want to express my thanks to Christa and her team for making the marketing campaign for the Florida Economic Gardening Institute a wonderful success. The artwork, design, layout and content she assembled, is “on target” for communicating our programs’ services and influencing audiences about the value of our economic development program.

Linda NelsonGrowFL

Christa, Tom, Fran, Kerry, Linda, Lynn and everyone else involved in the conference; I just wanted to thank you for the excellent organization and media coverage for the conference. It was superb to a T-everything from the evening reception, catering, venue, to the smooth registration, great looking agenda, powerpoints, speaker agenda and the after conference reception. You were all professionals and excellent hosts. I think you helped advance the EG cause and we will use Florida as our model for other states (which currently include GA, IN, KS, LA, AZ and MN but with others in the pipeline including NE, MI, SC, OR and maybe MS.) We spent the next three days in Florida and I now have a severe sunburn while looking at the snow on the Rocky Mts.

Chris GibbonsEconomic Gardening Institute, City of Littleton, CO

OUTSTANDING…awesome! You are incredible!

Phil HalsteadFlorida LambdaRail, LLCCentral Florida Regional Health Innovation Summit

I am writing to thank you for the tremendous effort you put forth to make EDC’s annual Life Science conference a great success. The comments back have been just terrific, and I didn’t have a single complaint about anything. People said that it was the best conference of its type, the perfect size, the right conversation, very informative, perfect venue, great food, great looking materials, brilliant speakers…all good! Everything went off without a hitch, despite our last-minute agenda change, videotaping, additional PowerPoints, etc. and I received a lot of compliments about the professionalism of ‘my staff’ and the great energy that we bring to everything that we do. Thank you so much for your hard work and commitment to EDC – I couldn’t do it without you!

Jane TeagueFormer Executive Director, Enterprise Development Corp. of South Florida

Your hard work showed in the implementation of the first annual International Brain Conference at UCF – thank you for making it a success! I look forward to working with you and another successful event next year.

Kristen ColtonFlorida Hospital, Cancer Institute & Neuroscience Institute

At first, I was somewhat skeptical, since it was already the last day of the SPIE conference, and I was just plain exhausted at that point. However, at the end I was really glad that I had attended, and so thank you again for inviting me to that presentation. I thought what Dr. Chang said was probably one of the best presentation that I had attended for that whole week. To me, that was not just a “Home Run”, it was “Out-of-the-Park”!!!! I hope you send a copy of that presentation to every college and high school campus in Florida, because I think every college and high school students (regardless of their disciplines) should hear that message from Dr. Chang, which was truly inspirational. I think and believe the next generations of Milton Changs are out there in already in these college and high school campuses, they just need the right encouragements and guidance to become ready. Once again, congratulation on a job well done!
