The moment I walked into the office, I realized I was dealing with top notch professionals who were committed to creating motivating brands and easy to navigate web sites. I had no doubts that our old, rickety "brand" was going to be transformed into something fresh and exciting. I really appreciated the time they took to listen to my story about my company – its history, our current projects, and our plans for the future and incorporate that into the direction they took. They took my ideas and expanded on them with many more possibilities they had to offer. EIM delivered a terrific product and I am confident in their ongoing support!

When we approached Hideaway Studios for a website, we really didn’t have a clear direction that we wanted to go. Dan and Spencer had a vast amount of great ideas, and within our first meeting, they had it pinned down to what we needed. They didn’t try and oversell us on a website that we really didn’t need, they kept it within our budget, and they had everything completed in a very timely manner. Their design team hit the nail on the head and were able to create a site exactly how we had envisioned it. Hideaway Studios created a simple, and seamless way for our company to really brand ourselves, and we couldn't be happier with the service.

It was somewhere in the mid ‘90’s when Dan Engel cold-called at our office. Not yet seasoned in the art of avoidance, I met with him. I was charmed into sharing our marketing burden of the day. My eyebrows still shoot up every time I think about the radical solutions Dan brought back to our team. We had never looked so good! Nevertheless, the ensuing years of change and market slumps found us increasing our tendency to create our resources in-house. We cut all kinds of corners and put out all kinds of material, some good, some bad, and lots of ugly. At a turning point in both my own career and the life of our company, I realized it was bad business to continue in this manner. We needed help from experts in branding and design to translate our identity and give our product the credibility it deserved. I actually wrote celebrity ad-man Terry O’Reilly, asking how to choose a marketing agency on a tiny budget. He very kindly told me I should just pick someone who’s smart and creative and that I like to work with. How simple! At that moment I knew the answer was already in my contact list, so I picked up the phone and called Dan. He didn’t just make us look good, they helped us to articulate who we wanted to be. Not only did they bring brand-on solutions to our table, but they also identified key issues we didn’t realize we had and led us through decisions to a result that was superior to what we’d imagined. I could share many stories of victory over ridiculous deadlines, shipments gone astray, and success with ad placement. I could tell you that I am frequently praised for our branding elements, our signage, our tradeshow materials, our ads, our brochures—all produced by EIM, and all worthy of praise. But these triumphs are merely terrific accomplishments. It’s the quality people behind them that I truly value. Through innovation, excellence and integrity the team at EIM have inspired, strengthened and challenged our organization.

EIM was able to create an attractive brand, website and promotional material quickly, which allowed us to commence our marketing in a timely matter. Once they created our new brand they have been able to pull together all other marketing collateral and assist with our advertising. Our end product looks professional and is eye catching ensuring that people remember our brand. They worked with us to create a brand that suited us perfectly.

I am very impressed with the technical and artistic capabilities of EIM. It was a team approach and their expertise was woven into the fabric of the final brand. The end result is a brand and website that looks and feels professional. We were so impressed that we hope to use EIM in future advertising designs and marketing campaigns. They have the expertise to take our marketing efforts to the next level!

I asked EIM not only to do a major facelift to a significant publication of ours, I also needed them to do the design and layout of a completely new title. And, I needed them to tackle both simultaneously within the tightness of their respective looming deadlines. They proved themselves to be as capable as they were creative, committed, and imbued with enthusiasm for the jobs. They're getting all future layout work for my textbooks: that should say it all.
