Testimonials

The Picot Team​ 

 

Working with Simon and Joni for our rebranding was one of the easiest and most rewarding experiences we’ve had. After 26 years in the industry, we knew we needed a fresh look but weren't sure where to start. From our first meeting, Simon and Joni guided us with creative ideas, clear direction, and constant support.

Whether it was developing our new logo, launching billboards, or refining our social media presence, they were always just a call away. Their expertise and dedication have made our brand relaunch a huge success and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!

Mike Kearns, The Kearns Group

 

"Simon came highly recommended to me by a friend of mine that owns a successful advertising agency and had used Simon for various projects in the past. I was looking to do a full re-brand for my business but unlike the professionals I had used in the past, I wanted someone that did not specifically work in the real estate space. I was looking for someone that could think outside of the box and was creative. Simon was everything I was looking for. 

He created a brand kit for me that I have been extremely happy with and I feel it has helped me differentiate myself in a field where branding and marketing is generally very homogenous. My brand is now visually appealing, highly recognizable and is synonymous with both our local area, my heritage, and real estate. Simon spent a great deal of time getting to know my business and my personal values and goals before preparing the mock ups for me to evaluate and in the end it was clear that he clearly understood exactly what I was looking for. 

Since creating the brand kit, Simon has worked with me on multiple projects including print campaigns, website content development, custom brand items, etc. Simon has done work for some of the most successful companies in the world over the course of his career but from day 1 he made me (with my modest budget) feel like one of his most important customers. I am thrilled with all of the work Simon has done for me over the past couple of years and have thoroughly enjoyed working with him. You will love his sense of humour, creativity, and his passion for his work. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend."

I have worked with Simon at three different agencies and can say without a doubt he shows up to add value, thinks of creative solutions, and responds accurately to what is required. Not only does he get the job done but executes it at a higher level than where the project started. I highly recommend Simon to help with your creative needs.

Preston Owen, Thornbury Clear Choice Pools & Spas

We engaged Simon to help us with our branding and marketing, as we needed to stand out from our competition and establish an instantly recognizable brand retail marketing campaign. Simon and Joni had a number of meetings with us to discuss our objectives and understanding our business requirements and our budget.

They presented a number of ideas that we were very happy with, including a service and maintenance campaign and video content that answered our business goals. The result was a highly visual brand that makes us stand out from our competition thanks to a social media strategy developed to expand our presence. We meet once a week with Simon and Joni to discuss our ever-changing retail marketing needs. Since working with them we have seen a definite up swing in our business sales.

I would highly recommend working with Simon and Joni. You will not be disappointed.

Simon has been a pleasure to work with. He was able to identify key attributes of our brand and use them as effective marketing tools. We have been able to get our customers aware of our brand’s uniqueness and point of difference.

We had reached a stage were our business was expanding into other areas and our website was in need of an up date. We decided to engage a company that could help us with a brand strategy to address the new areas of business and refresh our website.

 

We decided to meet with Simon and Joni due to the work they had done for other local businesses. The process started with a few meetings in which we discussed the business developments and how these would converge into our new brand Vision.

 

We also spoke about redesigning the website and that we would like the site to do a number of things such as allow customers to make reservations, talk about our experience while showcasing the new food photography we had just shot.

 

The result was a beautifully crafted approach to the new photography, complimenting the new brand design that stands out from the rest and showcases Bruce wine bar as a unique dining experience.

 

We are very happy with our new website and enjoyed our experience of working with Simon and Joni.
