SCG TV's Review Sourced from Google
Bobby G and the Propr team are a passionate creative tour de force that you want on your team to grow your company! From concept to implementation, their methods are smart, measurable and most importantly impactful when it comes to the intended audience. This makes work for marketing, sales and other business silos that much easier!
Anh Nguyen's Review Sourced from Google
I had a great honor to meet and talk to Bob, the founder of Propr Design, through an entrepreneurship course at UMD last semester. His speech was amazing and inspiring. As a young designer, I learned so much and got to know more about the company. Bob showed a lot care in his work and dedication in clients' projects. I used to think all design and marketing firms are the same, Propr Design definitely changed my mind! I have been stalking the company's website to learn more about their projects. Can't wait for their new campaigns!
Brooke Lang Jones's Review Sourced from Google
We have worked with Bob and his team over the past year and it has been an excellent experience at every juncture. The Propr Design team greatly improved the professional appeal of our collateral, online and off, while managing costs in a practical way. Always excited to find a reliable, creative partner who invests in our growth the way they invest in their own!

Square Roots Collective has been working with Cohere on branding and marketing for our upcoming boutique hotel and restaurant, and they've exceeded our expectations at every interaction. We especially appreciate how the team leads with creativity and expertise as they execute this project with intention and an eye for detail. They are true collaborators as they listen well and respond promptly. We would highly recommend Cohere!
Zachary Busby's Review Sourced from Google
Cohere helped transform one of our hospitality renovation projects into a complete rebrand- with incredible results! This rebrand has brought in an entirely new customer base while at the same time satisfying our long term and loyal customers. Refreshing an established and beloved brand is tricky territory, and Caroline and Mo from Cohere handled that challenge head-on with patience, creativity and an understanding rarely found in the design world.
Scott Baldasare's Review Sourced from Google
The team at Cohere has consistently exceeded expectations throughout our work together. The lens that they look through is unique and fresh, delivering a product that is completely authentic to our aspirations. Our collaborative relationship has been fun and effective in bringing our brand and vision to life. If you’re looking for an uncommon and impactful result, this is the group to be working with.

Contrast & Co. Reviews & Testimonials
Michael Miller's Review Sourced from Google
It's rare to find someone who understands your business and your brand better than you do. Contrast is a joy to work with and the brand work has been a revelation. I would recommend Contrast & Co to anyone wanting to grow their business and improve how you talk to the market,
Paul Manna's Review Sourced from Google
I contacted Contrast about redesigning my company's website, which was very outdated.They went far beyond the redesign by first making it a point to getting to know me, my company and our goals. Their creative ideas were plentiful and unique branding suggestions inspired me to take a slightly different approach on a few things which, in hindsight, was definitely needed. Working with their talented team was fun and educational.The end result was a beautiful revived website with a focused message on who we are and what we do. I've had so many compliments on the new design and overall feel. I especially appreciated their passionate approach to my small project. It was obvious the entire team loves what they do. My experience with Contrast was so positive and enlightening, I wish I had more projects we could work on together.
Robyn Keegan's Review Sourced from Google
DATUM initially engaged Contrast and Co. for a re-imagination of our existing brand. The resulting outcome was a complete overhaul of our brand platform, messaging and visual vocabulary that exceeded our expectations. We were provided all the necessary assets and instructions to bring the vision Contrast established to life and maintain its integrity throughout our full breadth of use-cases. Throughout the branding process, the Contrast team was approachable, responsive and exceptionally easy to work with. We have continued to work with Contrast beyond our initial scope to roll out our new brand into different mediums. We would highly recommend Contrast for any organization contemplating rebranding.

John Hart's Review Sourced from Google
We have had the pleasure of working with the Ainsley & Co. over the past year after an exhaustive search to find an agency to help market our signature program and scale our organization. What separates Ainsley & Co. is their commitment to listening for a client's needs, allowing for adjustments and partnering collaboratively to achieve the intended outcome. Tom and his colleagues bring a positive, "can-do" attitude that integrates strategy and tools to drive toward measurable results. Based on our work together, and the success they have helped us achieve, I highly recommend Ainsley & Co.
amy bauer's Review Sourced from Google
Ainsley was the marketing firm hired by my former employer. Tom and team were fantastic. When my business partner and I started our own company last year, Ainsley was the ONLY company we called. They got us up and running with a fantastic logo, website, templates and anything else we needed for a successful launch. They are easy to work with, creative, responsive and continue to be incredibly helpful. As a small business owner on a tight budget, Ainsley provided great service and value, and made us feel like a priority.Amy Bauer, Managing Principal, CA Search Advisors, LLC
Paige Stamerro's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with a number of different agencies and vendors over the years, but Tom Ainsley is truly a business *partner.* SMBs and multi-national corporations alike will find he and his team work on behalf of your company as if it's their own. Whether you're looking for a new website, media buys, a national TV spot, or even an extension to your marketing department, you can't go wrong with Ainsley!

Branding Review from Sarah Burton
Duo studio brought my vision to life even better than I could have imagined. They were patient with me and made sure everything was perfect. They have a team of extremely talented individuals. I felt well taken care of and that they truly cared about the outcome and that I was happy with the results. I would 100% hire them again and recommend their services.

Web Development Review from Yuri Geylik
I've worked with Duo Studio on multiple projects. They delivered best in class designs and development capabilities each and every time! Sonia, Dat, and the entire team at Duo don't seize to amaze me and my partners with their down-to-earth attitude, reliability, and quality of work. To top that off, Duo has a creative output that can rival any major design studio, with an added bonus of personalized attention and lightning-fast communication.

Web Development Review from Meg Lebow
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Duo Studio designing our website! We wanted something that looked professional and was user-friendly while also expressing our organization’s uniqueness and creativity, and Duo delivered above and beyond our expectations. At each stage they brought us exciting options that felt like a perfect reflection of our organization. They really seemed to care about the uniqueness of our company and the service we provide as a nonprofit.

Our organization, a tech start up shares space with MG Technologies. We actually are renters. The Leadership Team at Mindgrub we consider family. What a wonderful ensemble of folks. The location is lovely, the interior is an open floor plan with considerable space engineered for meetings along with places to tuck into for invaluable peace and quiet. MindGrub has a pleasant Front Desk Coordinator who maintains shared schedules, provides true " air traffic control" of people, presents, and packages. as well as kitchens that provide abundant drinks and snacks:)It feels very much like home.

An amazing company to work with! Integrity and experience is what you can expect the second you walk in the door.
Kelsey LaCour's Review Sourced from Google
The PR nightmare you put forth for the Archdiocese of Baltimore shows you have zero understanding of what the AOB is as a client. In your work for them, you treated the AOB as a corporation, not the Bride of Christ. Your work product did not succeed in doing damage control after the scandals hit - you merely succeeded in alienating the bulk of the remaining Catholics who still loved the Church after all this mess. and yet you STILL took an asinine amount of money from them. Shame on you. Your incompetence and inability to understand what the Church really is has caused irreparable harm to the Church, the AOB, and the faithful.
