Alert
BBB Serving Wisconsin has received complaints from businesses regarding magazine advertising paid for was not received. The company did not respond to those complaints.
BBB received other complaints, from freelance graphic designers who state they were not paid for work provided for the magazine. BBB was unable to process those complaints because employee/employer and wage disputes are outside of our scope of service. In those cases, BBB referred the complainants to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD.Wisconsin.gov or 608-266-3131) for assistance.
608 Magazine has not responded to general requests for basic information from the BBB.
If considering freelance work, BBB recommends that you be sure that there is a contract involved. It is essential to sign a contract. Contracts are especially important, as they provide legal protection for both parties. Contracts should clearly outline the scope of the project, any deadlines you’ve agreed upon, when deposits and full payments are due, cancellation policies, and confidentiality requirements.
If you need guidance on writing a freelance contract, see these resources from Freelancers Union.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation.
