Finch Brands was a true partner in the evolution of our 265 year old brand which hadn't been touched in decades. They worked with us holistically by investing the necessary time to truly learn about our business - our corporate culture, our relationships with current and future distribution models, our ideal client profile, geographic considerations inside our 5 state footprint, the "client experience", how re-branding will impact our staff, etc. The thoroughness of their project assessment and deep engagement in learning about our company DNA was very helpful for both parties. We learned a bit more about ourselves in this process as they learned about how to leverage our core strengths to maximize the value of our newly refreshed branding elements. We felt a high level of confidence in their capabilities throughout the process and the final deliverable "product" certainly met our expectations, which frankly were quite high given the investment of our time and resources as a smaller company of only a bit over 100 employees. Bill and his team of talented teammates remain a part of our team, even though this project has been successfully completed. I never hesitate to reach out to Bill and others when I know their experience or expertise will be valuable. We have taken several of their recommendations of others for work they don't do and have been happy for the referrals to other high quality folks. Finch Brands is an exceptional business partner and we have no hesitation in recommending them highly to others who have a need for their professional services and advice.March 31, 2021

Overall Experience: We initially engaged Finch to evolve the company logo, after years of living with an unsupported brand. We had an excellent experience during the process. The Finch Team went "all in" with us, learning our business and understanding what made the company special, both to our employees and our clients. The final product was amazing. It was not just a great design, but a design that really nailed the essence of our company. It was a no-brainer to continue the engagement as we evolved our Mission, Vision and Values. Again, fabulous experience. I think the key to their process is in their discovery process. The team really listens and digs deep. Again, could not have been happier with the result. We have continued the relationship with additional projects (web design, brand messaging, training, etc.) and feel like we have a true partner who is invested in our continued success.

Overall Experience: We chose Finch Brands to participate in a rigorous RFP exercise to find an agency that possesses deep creative skill-sets and talents. Finch was 1 of 8 RFP participants. Without a doubt, Finch led the pack in the RFP exercise and were selected to help us achieve and execute a major strategic objective to re-positioned and clarify our brand. I was insistent in finding a creative partner and extension of my internal marketing organization, not just an agency and Finch delivered above expectation!

Overall Experience: Due to a joint venture, our company had the opportunity to become independent, which meant we needed a new brand. Finch as instrumental in creating a unique identity that conveys the key attributes of our products and services and how to most effectively communicate this to our target audience. An agency is only as good as the people who work there and we found topnotch talent at Finch.

Overall Experience: After many years of sourcing research from large to small firms, Finch Brands is my go to. They are world class in action and results. What I love the most is that they have the flexibility to shift as needed. When engaged in a project it is comforting to know that I am working with a team that is very knowledgeable and diverse.

Overall Experience: We worked with Finch for a company-wide branding project. Discovery lead to a logo redesign affecting everything from stationery and signage in the U.S. and the U.K. to the NYSE ticker. The Finch team is brilliant, dedicated, creative, agile, and comfortable collaborating with stakeholders at every level of an organization. Should another branding project arise, I'd work with them again knowing we'd be in capable hands.
