      Product Marketing Review from Andrew Kuhns

      We needed packaging design experts who could provide primary display panel concepts that would work for over 2K skus. They took are most common and a few unique PDP layouts and developed a design system that aligned with our brand standards with a modern approach. We are now implementing their design across all of our products. Great partners!

      I've worked with Les and Jacob Tyler since early 2022. Together, we spent more than a year working on the strategic development of our website; they approached our project with patience, understanding, flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. The entire Jacob Tyler team has been, and continues to be, an excellent creative partner, trusted advisor, and extension of Dempsey's marketing team. I cannot recommend working with them enough.

They brought incredible creativity to the project, were highly professional in every interaction, and made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.

      Working with Vicarel Studio is always such a good time. We came to them for branding and walked away with work that felt next level. The vibe? Professional but never stiff. Creative but still totally strategic. They just got us — and brought our vision to life in a way that felt fresh, elevated, and super aligned. If you’re looking for a team that delivers killer artwork and knows how to make the process feel easy (and fun), Vicarel Studio is the one. 10/10 would do it all over again.
