Pros:

  • Professionalism, creativity, dedication, reliability, experience, deep knowledge of markets & marketing tools, great variety of services offered.

  • Very professional and knowledgeable. On time with any product and very creative. They kept the promise and quality of their products.

  • Lori and her team always give us what feels like their undivided attention. They seem more like extensions to our own staff rather than just vendors.

  • Her listening and writing skills are excellent. She understands even the most difficult products and technologies. She is highly motivated, why she usually over performs. That is something only the best people have.

Cons:

  • None .

  • I like everything! I can't complain of anything because they gave me the best service ever and they still continue to help me as my business is growing and needs other products from this group.

  • I have no complaints at all. Group 3 has always been there for us and willing to help us with any need large or small.

  • The only thing I regret is the fact, that there are more that 5000 miles between us. There is nothing else I could comment here.

Overall Experience: Working with Group3 was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The only reason we aren't still with them is because our company was acquired. They partnered with us on everything from rebranding, strategy and pricing discussions, market research, client surveys, tradeshow collateral, website development and SEO and much more. Their team was always organized and prepared for whatever crazy ideas we threw their way. We would highly recommend Group3 for any organization looking for an advocate and partner who wants to truly understand your business so they can successfully present your values and services to the right audience.

Overall Experience: I've worked personally with Lori for 20+ years and she and her team have worked with us here at Trailblazer Studios for close to 15 years. Group 3 has always been extremely responsive to our needs helping us with PR for our various shows, projects, and awards as well as helping us with our own internal branding and vision. Group 3 most recently has been working with us on our website design which we have been very happy with. We have a number of shows premiering in 2018 and look forward to Group 3 helping us to get the word out!

Overall Experience: Group3 Communications provided our non-profit with a full range of services--including a detailed marketing study and expert help with developing our brand and communications strategy. Their leader, Lori McDaniel, gives personal oversight to all their services. She is a delightful person, easy to speak with and quick to understand what is needed. Similarly, her staff members are readily accessible and bring a broad range of skills as well as passion to their work. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Group3 Communications.

Overall Experience: I had the pleasure of working with Group3 for over 3 years. I initially hired them to work on a launch announcement which effectively turned into an ongoing 3 year retainer. Lori and her team are thorough, well prepared, pro-active and excel at their craft. Everything I asked of them they delivered and then some. They are flexible yet know when to push back. The quality of their work speaks for itself and delivers results. Most importantly they are fun to work with. I would highly recommend Group3 to other companies.

Overall Experience: I know Lori now for almost 20 years. In the beginning I was her customer working for Voith as Vice President Marketing, then I have started my own business as marketing agency. At all the time we kept working together for our US-projects. During all the years Lori was a very reliable expert and business partner. And she still is, why we still work together between Germany and the USA.

Overall Experience: Group3 is a community involved organization. I have served on the board of a local non-profit with Group3 leaders for a number of years. In that time, Group3 jumped in with both feet to support the organization and help it grow. Their ideas on a new strategic direction helped create new growth opportunities in terms of size and revenue and transformed the trajectory of the organization. These people understand how to work with people and utilize marketing to move the needle.

Overall Experience: I’ve worked and collaborated with Lori and Group3 for over 20 years and I can always count on her as a valued resource and partner. I have a very small circle of professional colleagues that I can trust with my own clients and her attention to detail and relentless tenacity to the project at hand is unmatched. I can recommend Group3 as a resource to your business without hesitation.

Overall Experience: I work with Group 3 Communications as a graphic design vendor helping to design G3 client materials from print collateral to online assets. They always provide succinct direction, making my job easier. They consistently develop compelling concepts and strategies designed to maximize their client's brand awareness and to strengthen their communications, both internally and externally. I would recommend them to any local, regional, national or global company looking to strengthen and better manage their brand communications.
