      Tim Stuenkel's Review Sourced from Google

      We've worked with Streng for 30+ years- one of our longest term vendor relationships. Currently we primarily collaborate on photography and catalog creation, but have worked on a wide range of projects over the years. They know our products, our business, and our people. The long-term, stable staff here also makes working together so much easier. I highly recommend working with Streng Agency.

      Chicago Importing Company has been working with Streng Agency for several years. They were first hired to elevate the aesthetics and improve the effectiveness of our printed brochures and catalogs. And now, we're excited to be working with them on the development of several digital sites for our proprietary brands. They're creative, responsive and collaborative and have proven to be a solid business partner!

      Lab Exhibits & Services contracted with Streng to perform a Brand Audit and subsequently to redesign and refresh our website content. We also engaged Streng on a Social Media campaign. All of these efforts have been highly beneficial to Lab and we look forward to continuing to engage with Streng in our future marketing efforts.

      TEC Direct Media has helped us on several projects, and has been instrumental in helping our agency "learn the ropes" about programmatic and all things digital. We're always learning new things about digital for our clients, and TEC Direct has always been there when we have a question. They have helped us on two projects in 2016, and each of those were successful and those clients will continue with us in 2017. We consider TEC Direct a strategic partner. D. DeFreeuw, President, Force 5

      Horrible place. The owner is classless, disrespectful and tacky. Do not go to this agency. If I were to rate zero stars I would.

      Crux Creative and Michele have been a key partner and vendor for my business for 10+ years. Michele cares for all our publicity and advertising needs, including printed pieces. Recently, she completed a new website on budget and on time. We are thrilled with the finish design and functionality. She has an expert eye for design and has been very effective in helping us to manage to a tight marketing budget. I highly recommend Crux Creative.

      We at Murphy Wallbeds Chicago could not be happier with the job that Crux Creative has done with our website. Their attention to detail in both design and maintenance is second to none. Michele Allen has gone above and beyond for us, creating a intuitive and attractive site and responding to any issue we have immediately. If you are looking to create a website, Crux Creative is the firm to use.
