Some of Our Branding Testimonials

Unique Brand Identity & Messaging

“Nancy helped me to articulate my consultancy’s brand messaging, value and unique identity. She evolved my brand identity with a new, distinctive logo and tagline. My stationery, business cards and templates now reflect my brand value. For my website, she outlined my site architecture, chose imagery, wrote the content, and optimized the site. I now feel proud to showcase my brand and my company’s value to the healthcare marketplace. I obtained “downtown” agency quality without extravagant agency fees.”

Nancy Hedlund, MedNavigate

New Branding and Launch

“Nancy has been an important part of launching our new company, providing the expertise necessary to market our product. Nancy is extremely professional, listens and has worked hard to become an expert on every angle of our new product. She has impressive energy and has provided excellent direction with marketing strategies (social media, press releases, search engine optimization, etc.) while introducing our product into the marketplace. Working with Nancy the last few months has been a pleasure.”

Chris Strzalka, My 3D Mini Me
