I wanted to see if I could find something cheaper than my current insurance co. while keeping the same level of coverage (bundled auto, homeowners, and a few other policies). I worked with Autumn and she did a lot of hard work and got pretty close; but my existing policies ended up still being a bit less money for a bit better covera

5 Star Review by J P.

It's nice to have a management company that seems to really care. As soon as they took over our building they made it look better and the communication overall is so much better.

Dry Humor Marketing

Sep 5, 2026

Here’s a warmer, more natural version that should feel personal rather than promotional: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been working with Dry Humor Marketing for over a year now, and I’ve really appreciated the relationship we’ve developed. He has taken the time to understand my business, my clients, and what I’m trying to accomplish. He’s always quick to respond when I have a question or need something, but what I appreciate most is that he doesn’t just wait for me to tell him what to do. He regularly comes up with ideas and suggestions that I hadn’t thought of myself—and more than once I’ve found myself thinking, “Why didn’t I think of that?” It’s great to work with someone who understands my business and genuinely wants to help it grow. I’m very happy to recommend Dry Humor Marketing.

Devin and Lisa are great to work with and they put out a quality product. They were patient with our timelines and design file issues, helping out and providing support all along the way. Pick up was easy, and all our stuff looks amazing! We will definitely use them again in the future.

The Forum Group PNW

I’ve had a great experience working with Jennie Joiner. When she reached out to me about a bookkeeping opportunity, she matched me with a role that turned out to be a perfect long-term fit. Jennie is consistently warm, approachable, and responsive whenever we touch base. If you are looking for a recruiter who respects your time and makes great placements, I highly recommend Jennie and The Forum Group PNW."

Testimonial for “Vivian” – AI Model

I am the COO of Collier Law, one of the premier and most trusted estate planning firms in Oregon. When we needed help producing consistent marketing across all the ways we engage with Clients, we called Tim Fahndrich of Third River. Tim deployed “Vivian,” an AI model developed by Third River, to help our attorneys craft video messages to convey that we can deliver the best value and outcome for our Clients. Vivian engaged with our attorneys in a meaningful and honest way to uncover precisely what our attorneys wanted to say and how to say it. Vivian helped get our messaging on point in a small fraction of the time it would have otherwise taken. Tim and “Vivian” have Collier Law’s absolute strongest and most enthusiastic endorsement!
