What others say about us

Joe Maguire

Working with Sarah was very beneficial to our creative group. Her presentation was interesting, engaging and relevant to the diverse needs of our clients. She also did research ahead of our session which helped her tailor the session to our needs.

She is well-versed in how to get to the core message, and how to develop ideas to meet the marketing challenge or opportunity at hand. She got everyone involved in the session through her enthusiasm and passion, and her background and experience in the industry were evident.

We work with Tom when we want to stimulate wide-open thoughts. We may not always get to the answer during the session, but we always get to the question. Once that’s done, the answer is usually quite easy to come by.
