      I have worked with Jacob Tyler for the past four years starting with a company rebrand and then moving into website development, video development, PowerPoint decks, print brochures and email campaigns. They have done a phenomenal job of understanding our business and really helped us move the needle under our corporate owner, Novartis. I highly recommend this team.

      I've worked with Les and Jacob Tyler since early 2022. Together, we spent more than a year working on the strategic development of our website; they approached our project with patience, understanding, flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. The entire Jacob Tyler team has been, and continues to be, an excellent creative partner, trusted advisor, and extension of Dempsey's marketing team. I cannot recommend working with them enough.

      We recently worked with Jacob Tyler Agency on a direct mail campaign, and the experience exceeded every expectation. Their personalized approach, attention to detail, and commitment to understanding our brand’s voice and mission truly set them apart from other creative agencies. The design work was stunning, modern, and perfectly aligned with our holistic health aesthetic. Their team took the time to learn our goals, audience, and messaging, and delivered a mailer that was not only visually beautiful but strategically effective. We’ve already noticed increased engagement and positive feedback from our community. What really stood out was their collaborative process, fast communication, and ability to translate complex ideas into clean, compelling creative. From concept development to print-ready execution, everything felt seamless, professional, and high-quality. If you’re looking for a top-tier branding agency, creative design studio, or marketing partner that delivers high-impact design, strong strategy, and exceptional service, Jacob Tyler is the team you want. Highly recommend for any business seeking elevated brand identity, graphic design, or marketing support.

      Branding Review from Alexander Kulinkovich

      We hired Aida Pioneer to create a name, logo, and overall look for our company. The project started with a meeting where they asked us lots of questions about what we needed and wanted. Using this information, Aida Pioneer made a plan that showed all the important steps and things they would give us at each stage. After they did their research, the Aida Pioneer team gave us a few different name ideas. Once we picked one, they smoothly moved on to making the overall look for our company. Each part happened on time, just like we planned in the first meeting. Because we worked together, we now have a really good name, logo, and overall look for our business.

      We approached Aida Pioneer to create a name and identity for our upcoming mobile application, set to launch later this year. The project kicked off with a discovery meeting, during which we delved into our objectives, target audience, competition, and all other pertinent aspects we wanted them to consider. Utilizing this information, Aida Pioneer meticulously crafted a project timeline, outlining the necessary steps and delivery dates in detail.
