IKM designed our brand logo and style; designed and developed our full website including messaging refinement, content arrangement, and layout; and supported our launch strategy through social media graphics, messaging, and tactics to amplify brand and website announcments.

IKM completed all deliverables on time or ahead of schedule. All check-ins on product previews exceeded expectations. All deliverables were exceptional quality, met our vision, and exceeded our high standards of review. The IKM team designed incredibly high quality and creative work that perfectly aligned with our company's vision and style.

IKM delivered all products on time or ahead of schedule. They were incredibly responsive to our questions and vision. They were proactive -- raising issues and ideas that we had missed or not known to consider, and went above and beyond in providing expert advice when we needed help. The team was extremely professional, energizing, visionary, and attentive to detail.

IKM's creative design talent is the best on the market. They were able to read our minds -- despite us being barely able to articulate our style. They made a challenging, arduous process easy, fun, and incredibly rewarding. They absolutely nailed our design, logo, and website. Thank you, IKM team!

None. Exceptional experience! We can't wait to work with them again.

We have a retainer agreement with IKM to provide 40 hours of design support per month to our company. We are a small company with no in-house design staff, so IKM works on a variety of projects for us.

Projects were completed on time; new designs were delivered in time to meet deadlines. Regular check-ins and meetings as needed to progress projects.

Yes, we have not missed any deadlines. I have needed to ask them to 'pivot' multiple times to new projects as they come up, and they always handle it smoothly. They are very focused on meeting our needs.

IKM's team was comfortable evolving existing branding rather than trying to get us to revamp it completely. We deal directly with the founder instead of being handed off to a junior person and their work is high quality.

Have worked with Ian before and knew they'd knock it out of the park.

I reached out to Ian to provide support on a rapid redesign of all product sheets and other associated marketing materials around a Product-team led standardization and cleanup after a merger a year before left us with a very convoluted product line, specifically around product identity. Ian and his team redid all of our product sheets, case studies, and other associated print sales material based on direction from me.

The successful and timely delivery of associated tasks and projects.We were able to ship all the materials required for the various sales organizations to be able to go make the impacts they needed to make.

Ian provided most of the management and communication. We'd work directly with designers on certain reviews, but most of the work and expectation management was handled by Ian and Lynn.

We were impressed with their ability to juggle a lot of concurrent pieces (30 product sheets, 5-6 case studies)

I’m the CMO of a marketing agency, and we work with small and emerging B2B technology companies. We provide them with marketing strategies such as go-to-market strategy (GTM), messaging and positioning, and content creation.

We hired IKM Creative for a number of different projects. We wanted to utilize their strategic thinking skills for creating digital content, designing websites, developing branding materials, and more. Overall, we wanted an out-of-the-box thinker that would consider both creativity and marketing in terms of reaching our target audience.

We’ve done over a dozen websites together. That includes developing the platform’s navigational structure, design, branding, and layout. They also help us launch our websites.

I've known Ian (Art Director) for over a decade and primarily work with him directly.

I first met Ian when he was working at another agency, and they were working for my company. He was clearly the most talented designer at their company. We remained in touch even after he had left there. After that, I began to tap him to do projects for me.

We started working together in June 2008, and it’s ongoing.

KM Creative is a fantastic partner. My agency's clients are thrilled with the design work produced by IKM. The work has been profitable for our agency and has helped us continue to build and grow long-term relationships with our clients.

IKM is very organized. We mostly use Google Docs and folders to share materials. We also use email to communicate. However, we don’t have a particularly formalized project management process.

IKM Creative is not just a vendor to us. We don’t just give them some brochure or website so that they can do our projects. We know that they’re concerned about the outcome of their work. They care about collaborating and providing us with their creative thinking in order to produce phenomenal results we can be happy with.

Though they’ve been hitting their deadlines and getting their job done, it might be helpful if we had more formalized tools and processes for running our projects. However, in general, it really hasn't been an issue. The bottom line is that IKM is organized and gets the work done on time at a very high quality.

Be open-minded. Recognize that while you have ideas that should be taken to account, you can also open yourself up to even broader thinking. Be willing to go beyond to get the best results from IKM Creative.

Review of current business web presence. Rebranding. Web site structure and build. Training for self-maintenance.

Visits to web site.

IKM listened to the needs of my business, advised on a path forward, and delivered a web site that we can self-maintain. It was a painless process.

Virtual Meeting

It impressed me that the whole process could be done virtually, saving everyone time and money.
