      Kirsten AD's Review Sourced from Google

      I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

      I worked for Artisan as a Contract Copywriter for more than three years. The team did an excellent job finding me a contract with an outstanding company. In addition to a great placement, Artisan provided me with very good benefits, including 401K and some paid time off, which is unusual in the industry. I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

      In a world of agencies that are mostly out for a quick buck, they build relationships on both the client and talent side. It is a refreshing change of pace to see such integrity. They are fair and honest people that I worked with for years. If you are looking for talent, or have a talent, I can not recommend them more.

      Branding Review from Andy Dickhut

      Ive had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous creative agencies throughout my career and BayCreative has delivered the level of insight, professionalism, and genuine partnership that I have experienced with the best of them. They have been true collaborators, invested in CFCUs vision and committed to helping us bring it to life.Our relationship with BayCreative began when we sought to undertake a full-scale rebranding initiative. CFCU has always prided itself on serving our community with a people-first approach, but we needed a refreshed identity that reflected who weve become and where were heading. We didnt just want a new logo or a new color palettewe wanted to redefine what Community First stood for in the modern financial landscape. BayCreative understood that right away.From the earliest discovery conversations, the BC team listened carefully, challenged us thoughtfully, and helped uncover an authentic narrative at the core of our brand. They guided us not toward trends or gimmicks, but toward something enduring and true to who we are.They have a team of talented creatives who brought our new brand identity to life. From graphic designers to copywriters to video editors, the BayCreative team demonstrated deep expertise. The final deliverables included a refreshed logo, a full identity package, and a bold new brand positioning platform we now call The New Local. This wasnt just a tagline or a sloganit was a strategic redefinition of who we are and why we exist. If you are looking for an agency that will take the time to understand your organization, push your thinking in productive ways, and deliver exceptional creative with professionalism, I cannot recommend BayCreative more highly. They are the real deal!

      Branding Review from Lindsey Lupow

      A Game-Changing Experience with ChrisRubinCreativ (CRC)From the moment we met Chris and the CRC team, we knew we were in the hands of professionals who truly understood the art and science of branding. Chris's passion for driving growth for small and medium-sized businesses is evident in every interaction. His deep understanding of brand strategy and messaging, combined with his personal touch, made the entire process feel collaborative and tailored to our unique needs. The Brand Playbook CRC delivered was nothing short of exceptional. It wasn't just a document; it was a comprehensive guide that captured the essence of our brand, resonating with our target audience's needs and interests. Every page was a testament to CRC's meticulous process and dedication to authenticity.Working with Chris was a masterclass in branding. His approach is both analytical and creative, ensuring that every decision is backed by data and sharply insightful. In conclusion, if you're looking for a branding agency that combines craft, process, and experience to deliver unparalleled results, look no further than CRC. I am immensely proud of the work we accomplished together and cannot recommend them highly enough. Our brand has never been stronger, and we owe a significant part of that success to Chris and his exceptional team.

      Brand Design Review from Jevan Lautz

      We partnered with Zamora Design to update our branding and improve how our company is presented to clients. Borja was very attentive during the discovery phase, asking the right questions to understand not just our brand, but also how we interact with our customers.The final designs were polished and professional, and they gave us a more consistent identity across our client materials. We noticed an immediate difference in how prospects responded to our proposals and presentations.One area that could be improved is adding a bit more variety in the initial concept stage. However, the revisions we received quickly addressed our feedback, and the process stayed on track without delays.Overall, Zamora Design proved to be a reliable partner who blends creativity with a strong sense of business needs. We would recommend them to any company looking for branding that feels both modern and practical.

      Brand Strategy Review from Greg Smith

      We partnered with Zamora Design to redesign our pitch deck and create a more professional brand identity. From the start, Borja worked directly with us, which gave the project a very personal and strategic touch. He didnt just design slides; he helped us sharpen our story, improve clarity, and highlight the most important metrics that investors care about.The process was smooth and highly collaborative. Borja was transparent with timelines, gave clear milestones, and consistently delivered ahead of schedule. The new deck and refreshed branding made an immediate impactwe presented to investors with confidence and successfully closed funding shortly after.What stood out the most was how ROI-focused the design was. Everything created wasnt just beautiful but also functional, ensuring our message converted. This is rare in design agencies.I would highly recommend Zamora Design to any startup or business that needs strategic storytelling and high-quality design. The investment was more than worth it.
