Testimonials

Jim Cox Headshot

a valuable member of my team

Kevin is a unique resource in the world of digital communications. After owning and operating an ad agency for over 25 years, I came to the conclusion that one cannot find a true professional in the digital world that is both very creative and highly strategic. That changed when I discovered Kevin. Over the past several years he has become a valuable member of my team. His strengths are many, but I most value his ability to team with me in addressing both sterling opportunities and difficult challenges. His understanding of the needs of start ups is impressive, and equally true for businesses in transition. Kevin has worked with me on behalf of my agency clients and supported me in a separate start up venture. I look forward to collaborating with him for many years to come.

a delightfully refreshing and creative human being

Kevin is a consummate professional and a delightfully refreshing and creative human being. Although I have worked with Kevin for many years, I find myself constantly reminded of what a unique and valuable talent he is. His ideas are magnetic, layered, and always built with the capacity to play well across media. His approach to brand building, while guided by stepwise German logic on the inside, can only be described as fluid on the outside. I believe Kevin has uncovered the secret to successful brand cultivation. He doesn’t just ensure each touch point feels fresh. He pays special attention to space in between—the transition. The brand personality that fills the space between communications is where the brand actually lives and breaths. That’s his magic.

honesty, integrity and commitment

I have worked with Kevin for many years, both as a client and a partner, and have experienced “client-facing Kevin” as well as “behind-the-scenes” Kevin. His honesty, integrity and commitment to the best, most strategic creative work is rare and refreshing in both relationships. What does this mean to working with Kevin? Thoughtfulness. Forthrightness. Timelines met. Humour. Passion for integrating creative, brand, strategy, business. Attention to detail. Ability to work well across categories and disciplines. Thoughtful, considered, constructive point-of-view. Clean icons. Functioning sites. Smart design. Great work.

a creative force with a mind for strategic thinking

Kevin is a creative force with a mind for strategic thinking. I have worked with Kevin on large, evolving branding initiatives and small quick turn around projects. He is a consummate professional whom I know I can depend on for thoughtful creative and there when I need him. To say Kevin is thorough would be an understatement. The quality of work he delivers on a daily basis is near perfection. My team and my clients are in good hands when Kevin is involved. As anyone in this business knows, it is difficult to find a creative spirit who possesses the versatility and depth of knowledge necessary to deliver truly unique ideas across industry verticals. From beverages to consumer package goods to highly technical medical devices, I have seen him do it all and it looks good!
