      Branding Review from Shira S

      We partnered with Agency Squid to refine and elevate our brand identity for a SaaS platform in the B2B space. Operating in a competitive landscape, we needed strong positioning, messaging clarity, and a compelling visual presence to stand out. From the very beginning, the Agency Squid team demonstrated a deep understanding of our market, challenges, and goals. They asked the right questions, offered valuable strategic insights, and walked us through a structured branding process that was both collaborative and efficient. The outcome was a refreshed brand strategy that clearly communicates our core value, differentiators, and relevance to our target audience. We received high-impact messaging frameworks and creative assets that are now integrated into our website, sales materials, and marketing campaigns. What we appreciated most was their thoughtful, ego-free approach and consistent responsiveness. Every milestone was met on time, and they were always open to feedback, ensuring we were aligned throughout the project. This branding work has already improved our sales conversations, marketing performance, and overall brand perception. It was a seamless and professional experience, and were excited to continue working with Agency Squid in the future.

      Agency Squid is truly unlike any other ad agency out there. There is no ego involved and they listen to what their clients needs are while still challenging them to think about things differently. The smaller but mighty team is well rounded and each bring a different perspective to the table. I would recommend them for any design/marketing, product promotion or special project. Doesn’t hurt that their workplace is so cool too!

      Branding Review from Hannah Alstein

      I had the pleasure of collaborating with the founder, Todd and his team to develop a comprehensive messaging and branding strategy, as well as to design a website for a sustainable event planning concept. Todd's attentiveness and ability to truly understand our challenges and the narrative we aimed to convey were truly commendable. He effectively captured and communicated our story in a manner that felt authentic and resonated with our audience. Todd and his team's work exceeded our expectations and set a high standard for quality.

      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.
