    I’ve partnered with very many agencies over the last 20 years, and Anchour is entirely different and fresh based on their exceptional level of both creative and technical expertise. Beyond just working around the clock, each and every person there is invested in our success. They’ve always done the right thing for us as a business, and the results they produced are nothing short of remarkable. We couldn’t have accomplished what we have without Anchour.

    Anchour's fresh branding work was warmly received by the public and internal team. They ensured the classic, core mission was incorporated in our identity. And I must say, their enthusiasm and dedication to the project made them a valuable partner. Anchour was more nimble and eager to solve our problems than other teams I’ve worked with.

    We’re a community bank focused on acquiring households within Southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. We put out a bid to 12 agencies in and around New England. We looked at everyone’s work and thought that Anchour excelled. Anchour developed our website and began providing marketing services, including SEO and other growth activities. Since launching the website, the evidence of their impact has been evident.

    We were kicking off a brand-new product line with our non-alcoholic beer, and Anchour helped us with all the creative and our go-to-market capabilities. They developed a total brand strategy from the ground up, starting with a thorough investigation of our goals and strategic plan for the brand. Then, they aligned with our image of ourselves. The deliverables were a strategy, visual identity, and all of our packaging.

    We hired Anchour to help us refresh our branding, digital experience, and marketing. Our business needed help growing, so we approached Anchour. Their team helped define our company, its mission, and its values. To do that, Anchour led us through a discovery process, where they identified what we were looking for, aesthetics that resonated, and key components. Then, they presented a brand strategy and new branding guidelines, which included a new color palette, logos, submarks, and more.

    We're a CBD D2C brand, and Anchour generated a new look and feel for us, including a new logo, color palette, packaging, and messaging for our new target demographic.We evaluated around 8–10 different companies for this project. Anchour came to us through a recommendation from a former client. We went through an exhaustive process alongside a few other options, and we chose Anchour because of their references and experience in the CBD industry.

    Anchour’s curiosity is impressive. They are working on niche brands, and they’ve got to know what they’re talking about to market them. As a result, they’ve done so much research. They’ve understood our brand not just from a marketing perspective but from an overall business perspective. Anchour were very curious about the inner workings of our business — that has resulted in a really great presentation and final deliverables.

    Anchour’s collaboration and willingness to hear us are impressive. They don’t come up with all of the ideas; they really listen to what we have to say and take our feedback into consideration. They’re also very receptive and work hard to bring our visions to life. It has been a great learning experience because Anchour is really great at communicating. They do a really good job of being clear about the objectives, which is also helpful.
