      Web Development Review from Jaroslav Tyman Jr.

      We contacted Zero Negative about a two stage renewal of our company website with a very aggressive timeline for the first stage. Zero Negative worked and guided us through pulling off the first stage within our timeline while also ensuring that the content and ideas for that stage were readily applicable to the full design. When we got to the full design, they were fully responsible for corralling the various preferences and ideas from our team into a well executed cohesive site. We're now in a good spot and look forward to continuing to work with Zero Negative as our business and needs grow.

      Web Development Review from Susan E. Roberts

      Zero Negative did an exceptional job designing my website, roberts-communications.com. From the start, they understood that this wasn't just about aesthetics it was about positioning, credibility, and clarity for a senior-level communications brand. They translated a complex, high-stakes business into a site that feels polished, modern, and authoritative without being flashy or over designed. The process was collaborative, efficient, and thoughtful, and they were responsive to feedback while also offering smart guidance when it mattered. The final result reflects exactly how I want Roberts Communications to be perceived: strategic, sophisticated, and trusted. I would highly recommend Zero Negative to anyone looking for a design partner who understands brand, not just web building.

      Web Development Review from Anonymous

      These guys are the best! We engaged with Zero Negative to develop a comprehensive web-based system for our factory that allows for managing orders, processes, and inventory. This initiative was essential for us to secure a big ticket client. We truly could not have accomplished this without their assistance. They dedicated considerable time to on-boarding and collecting the requisite information, followed by prototyping the software, and ultimately developing it from scratch. Overall, we are very satisfied.

      Melissa Eick's Review Sourced from Google

      ICG-ADV took the time to deeply understand not just my organization's work, but the heart of our mission. Their work renewed, refreshed, and encouraged the entire team and even helped us see ourselves more clearly. We were able to start implementing their advice immediately, improving how we show the world who we really are. ICG’s support came at the organization's ten-year anniversary. The work they did will leave an indelible mark and launch us into the next ten years stronger than ever. If you're considering whether to work with them, I enthusiastically recommend their services.

      Whitney Anderson's Review Sourced from Google

      Working with ICG has been one of the most meaningful experiences in our nonprofit organization’s ten-year history. We came to them in desperate need of a brand refresh. Our work is deeply complex and nuanced, and for years we had struggled to communicate it in a way that people could fully understand. Because we are so immersed in the work every day, we couldn’t quite find the words to name what we do in a clear and compelling way. ICG did. From the very beginning, their team was professional, thoughtful, and deeply curious. They took the time to truly learn about our work, and in what can be a very vulnerable process, they created a space where we felt safe, seen, and understood. They also brought so much joy into the process—we laughed a lot, which made something that could have felt heavy or cumbersome instead feel energizing and human. What they created for us is hard to put into words. They brought life, voice, and light to our brand in a way we had never experienced before. They named what we had been trying to name for ten years but couldn’t. When they revealed the brand, I was overwhelmed with tears of joy and gratitude. It felt like they had captured the heart of who we are and reflected it back to us with clarity and beauty. We are continuing to partner with them on our website and video, and I am so grateful for their ongoing investment in our work. This experience has given me so much hope, encouragement, and excitement for what’s ahead. Working with ICG has truly felt like a gift. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a team that not only delivers exceptional creative work, but does so with heart, intention, and deep care.

      Neil, Jeff and the whole Nonfiction team are incredible brand strategists, and design experts. I personally have worked with them a number of times, and they are my go-to for branding and brand extension work. They rise to the challenge every single time, and it's always with creative solutions that not only solve the original goals of the project, but are pragmatic, and help marketers move their businesses forward. If you're a brand marketer looking to infuse innovation, creative thinking, and people focused ideas into your brand marketing efforts, this is THE agency to bring it to life alongside you.

      Neil, Jeff, and the team at Nonfiction have been great to work with! We’ve been with them since they formed the company, and there’s nowhere else we would go for our design and branding work. They’ve been great at guiding us and keeping us grounded to our core values when we get excited by something that is likely a distraction. We love them!
