At least have a chat with them and get some material from them.

The site is fairly generic: try to get an idea of whát they do.
Anyone can claim to do "SEO" or "marketing".
I'd like to know that their credentials are: what they've done before this. 

If you could see if they have a media distribution service or something like it, that would be helpful: important would be which sites they would be able to publish to.

Also: a benchmark of their fees would be great

It's not possible to judge is a service is "good" until you know the price tag.

Back from the city & second day of Bitcoin Expo '15.

Got a chance to talk to the CEO of bitcoinmarketing, Tomas Drobny. Good conversation, no cheap sales tricks or expecting me to commit to anything (not that I could, but it was nice anyway).

Full disclosure: They are based in Bratislava, Slovakia, which is my home country as well, but I moved away over 10 years ago, so no personal connection. Before you discount Bratislava, it is one of the top 5 areas of economic performance in EU, and one of the most expensive places to live in EU. (other SK people, feel free to chime in)

- They have a marketing team of 6, expecting to be 10 in the next few months.
- Several existing clients, will be happy to provide more in-depth references from past work, related to what NXT needs
- Tomas asked for a time to look into what they would be able to provide for NXT, including ball-park price/figures
- I asked them to focus on increasing media exposure of NXT (the media lists Damelon mentioned are the beginning of that process, once we define the target audience), with content either produced by the NXT community, or them producing (some of) the content as well.
- They are interested in comprehensive marketing services, but happy to provide partial work in any specific area (PR, media exposure, social media/platforms)

Next step: Bitcoinmarketing to provide a preliminary offer/proposal sometimes early next week (the 1st week of Feb).

Tomas is travelling back home tomorrow, then start researching this project around Wed/Thu. He expects to have questions, may ask for clarification and input on NXT's needs at that point.

At this point I have not committed to anything other than communicating the above to Damelon/the NXT community. 

I am happy to give this over to somebody else right now, or at any time in the future. Please do not think that I am trying to barge in or step on anyone's toes. I am ready to provide Tomas's contact info (I can PM to you Damelon, or anyone else).

I can also continue to be the point of contact until it is time for someone with authority to commit to anything on behalf of NXT.

Please let me know if this discussion should move to a different platform, or if it should continue at all.

Great
I'd be happy to talk to Tomas and see what he finds and proposed.
Shoot me a PM, please
