Clients Speak Up. A Lot.

Oh my! Our clients seem to have a lot to say about their experience working with Mindspin and the results they achieved.

When ever I speak to someone about Mindspin, I always tell them the story about the presentation for our new logo. It always amazes me that Mindspin could provide 5 totally different ideas, all of which captured who we are, and gave us exactly what we were hoping to achieve – a fresh new image!

After the success with our new logo, we desperately needed to revamp our website. In our business there are always changes and we really wanted the ability to keep our website up to date without having to call someone, wait for the changes to appear and pay for every request. We now have an amazing website that not only showcases our fresh new image, but allows us to easily up date information in-house, without the extra time and money normally needed to accomplish such a task!

Mindspin has been exceptional at listening to our wants, giving us great ideas, thinking outside the box, and providing us an amazing product which encompasses all of our needs!

Cathy, Managing Director

It is not often that I write letter like this, however; in this case I was so impressed by the support and service provide that I felt compelled to go on record with my praise. Too often, superior service is unrecognized and unrewarded. While dissatisfied customers are quick to complain; few happy customers take the time to offer praise. In my opinion, the level of service extended and quality of work was far beyond my expectations.

Mindspin Studio has created a concept that was totally amazing. The design and execution of the entire project was truly impressive. Tanja has captured and helped us envision and strategize our business model, and given us the tools in our expansion efforts and marketing initiatives.

Her attention to detail and relentless determination to release a quality product on time is what sets Mindspin apart from others. Her ability to orchestrate vision and ideas into a work of art is certainly a rare gift. It is a joy to work with such dedicated and talented individual.

In closing, I believe that Tanja and her team truly deserve to be congratulated and rewarded for providing customer service and support well beyond the status quo. Congratulations on a job well done.

Robert, President

Mindspin is great to work with! Not only were they positive to work with, but they offered multiple options to choose from so we got exactly what we wanted. Since our website has been released there has been a significant increase in business! I would recommend Mindspin's efficiency and excellence.

Elizabeth, General Manager

I've been doing business with Mindspin Studio for the past year. And, in that short time Mindspin has impressed me not only with its work but the way business is conducted. Tanja is very creative; she has a great imagination and fabulous ideas. Mindspin pays great attention to detail in understanding its clients' needs and the marketplace. Mindspin is very thorough, doesn't miss deadlines, and my clients are responding. “Very professional, unique, unlike anything they have seen before…” are some of the comments I've heard.

Mindspin has never let me down. Combined with her flare for design, Tanja's people skills enable her to achieve her clients' desired results without going back to the drawing board time and time again. Just recently, I achieved a 12% response on a brochure I put out and it's still early on in promotion.

I think Mindspin is the best in the business. Mindspin is always a pleasure to work with.

Chantalle, President

The reaction from our client and prospect base has been fantastic. We have been able to book appointments with the leading decision makers of some very large companies on both sides of the border and Europe. We are very close to closing on some new accounts and I'm positive that our new marketing materials have been a factor. I get a lot of "Oooohs" and "Aaaahhhs" when people first see them.

I really like the flexibility of the inserts. I'm able to combine them to meet the target I'm going after. It sets us apart from the others and really reflects the way our Upper Management team regards what it is we are doing with this new company.

It was a lot of fun working with you on this and I hope we get another opportunity soon.

Paul, Business Development Manager

I own a fast paced - aggressive growth business that needs to react to the marketplace quickly. I always trust Mindspin to meet tight deadlines and budgetary requirements for my company to remain competitive.

Through the creation of the direct marketing mailer, my company increases the number of new clients by approximately 50% during the week the mailer is received by our target market.

Mindspin has made my vision a reality, through their innovative, streamlined and progressive marketing strategies.

Bruce, President

Our company is an international building materials company with operations in 20 countries across four continents. We employ over 30,000 people worldwide and are the largest aggregates producer and one of the world's largest producers of concrete pipe, pressure pipe and precast products. I would like to thank you for your contribution to our marketing efforts over the last few years.

Prior to working with Mindspin, we were using a larger marketing agency, but found that the creative wasn't at the level we needed to get our desired results. The Mindspin team provided highly creative ideas, more personalized interaction and faster response times. An added bonus, our marketing budget requirements were slightly reduced, allowing us to invest in additional marketing efforts.

Mindspin's great communication and project management ensured that projects were executed smoothly and on schedule. In fact, when we suddenly needed a presence at an upcoming tradeshow, we experienced this excellent customer service when Tanja personally delivered our marketing materials, just in the nick of time.

As industry leader, we are dedicated to continually offering new products and outstanding product quality. Mindspin's visual identity and corporate communications expertise has enabled us to effectively convey this to our prospects and clients, helping us firmly maintain our market share in a highly competitive environment.

Leo, VP Sales & Marketing

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your efforts and help in the recent creation of our direct mail project. The final product surpassed my expectations, but more impressive was the creative work proactively offered to help make a definite impact with our direct mail piece. It is that fresh approach that made this such a positive experience for us.

We have worked with several suppliers over the years, but Mindspin truly stands out as a company that sincerely understands what it means to become partners with a client through out the value-add consultative approach, to maximize the message to the targeted audience.

Given the professionalism and results delivered from Mindspin, I can say that we look forward to working on our next project with you. Thank you for all your help.

Tara, Marketing Manager

I had the opportunity to become acquainted with Mindspin Studio Inc. and its services while I was researching web design firms to produce a website for my start-up business. Mindspin was able to successfully assess my business needs, present me with competitive options and produce a solid product.

From the beginning, Tanja has been very accessible and easy to work with. She has provided consistent follow up and reliable service and continues to contact me regularly with updates and new ideas.

My experience with Mindspin Studio Inc. has been a positive one and I extend my wishes for its continued success.

Andre, President

We have just received our brochures and I would first and foremost like to congratulate you on a job well done!

The final product is without a doubt an eye-catching and winning piece, as we have already begun to receive many compliments on its design. We believe it will serve as an effective marketing tool, which in turn will help our business prosper.

It was, as always, a pleasure working with you and your professional team, and we look forward to future endeavors with your company.

Cindy, Marketing Manager

As Clinic Director and main practitioner at a busy physiotherapy clinic, my time is very limited for marketing my services. Tanja was referred to me as I was searching for a way to bring a new, more professional look to my business.

Mindspin Studio Inc. was able to do just that. The Mindspin team came up with very innovative ideas. I was given several options which means that I was always involved in the decision making process.

Tanja has an amazing artistic flare. Her performance has surpassed all my expectations. I have been extremely pleased with all final products, pamphlets, letterhead, etc. and I certainly want to continue to do business with Mindspin Studio.

Mindspin understands the needs of business owners in terms of marketing material. They also have an appreciation for the many challenges business owners face on a daily basis. They have been very professional in all negotiations, and know the importance of thorough follow up.

With confidence, I can highly recommend Mindspin Studio for any of your marketing needs.

Francine, Clinic Director

We had so many compliments on our logo. From our business cards to our stationery and envelopes, everything flows out perfectly. Quite a few customers have commented on how “up to date” it looks. I have also had many compliments on our website. I tell anyone looking for a designer to call you. As a matter of fact I was in the city last week and your name was mentioned quite a few times. You seem to be making quite a headway with the quality of work you are doing.

Chris, President

When the marketing agency we had been using for several years relocated, we decided to support our community by working with a local firm. After a one-year trial period of working with various agencies on various projects, we selected Mindspin Studio to be our approved design firm.

Mindspin did a great job of contributing strong creative ideas and executing them in a strategic manner. Every year our campaign goals evolve, and Mindspin has been able to capture the essence of these changes, providing fresh appeal to our communications without deviating from our core brand. Mindspin has developed and maintained a consistent look throughout all of our materials and a clarified presentation of information. Mindspin's willingness to be flexible has really supported our occasional need for quick project content changes and schedule changes.

I would highly recommend Mindspin Studio to organizations which are looking to develop a new marketing program or revamp an old one. Your strategic and creative thinking has contributed to our ability to meet our fundraising and community awareness goals. It is always a pleasure to work with Mindspin Studio!

Paula, Campaign Manager

Mindspin helped us create a new brand identity. The ways in which to facilitate this new identity were to be through a newsletter, website and PR releases. With the help of Mindspin, we now have a clear and inviting newsletter along with a new website that is user friendly, accessible and inviting.

Mindspin helped us in achieving our goal: to improve community awareness through a unified visual presence with in the city and surrounding communities. Since September, we have experienced a significant increase in membership - far higher than the previous years. Our new tools have given us a renewed excitement and pride that we enjoy sharing with our guests and new members.

Tricia, President

The way in which Mindspin handled the entire consultation, production and proofing process has been fantastic. After this is done I would like you to immediately consult with us regarding our next project.

Steve, President
