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.

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.

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.

Bobby G and the Propr team are a passionate creative tour de force that you want on your team to grow your company!

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!

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!

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. Our experience has been positive and look forward to partnering with MG Technologies for years to come. #grateful

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
