Hello,
NC for this. I would really appreciate any insight. I attended a networking meeting recently as my business has really suffered after competitors copied and poached the bulk of my clients. I was nudged towards a woman specialising in social media marketing and stupidly fell for the whole " I really like you and I really want to help you...I'm basically just doing it for free for you". She scoffed at a leaflet I had made and said it was rubbish, no one would have a second to look at it.
Insistence on rebranding, remaking my website (nothing wrong with it!) and calling upon a logo designer , several meetings with her ...
I tried oposing by saying that Vista Print had a great logo for my business for under a tenner, but she said it needs to be professional.
I have now been given several long 'proposals' for business names, logo designs and I have discovered that all wording in her emails (eg the lengthy descriptions behind each business name) was AI generated.
Furthermore, the logo is identical to the one I had made on vistaprint except I am being told to pay £200 for the logo woman and £500 for redesigning my perfectly decent website!
I have signed a contract at the start but really am fuming. Feel completely scammed. Any suggestions?
Thank you
