Testimonials

“

Our marketing was haphazard at best in both of our businesses. A friend of mine referred me to Adam & creativeStir and the results have truly been stellar. He helped us find our voice on two very different projects and also helped me grow as a leader. He’s an experienced voice to talk with and helped me find answers and offer perspectives on handling some difficult situations.

Adam and his crew helped us increase our social media exposure from under one thousand people to over 3.7 million in five months. It was all organic. No bots, no paid advertising, just ingenious hooks, photography, timing and content choices. It helped us get the increase in revenue we were looking for and then exceeded it.

Adam's willingness to contribute as a partner with new ideas around program development and his skills a collaborator are what made the launch of the new Digital Media Lab, Pre-Tech makersapace a success and resulted in the expansion of our Health Science Academy. Adam kept an eye on the plethora of possibilities. With his skill for school design and marketing, he was key in the design of an entire new look for the Tech Center. He was integral in the process of creating logos, images, color schemes, videos, websites and more. All of these efforts breathed fresh air into a stagnant Tech Center. He was able to connect the Tech Center with outside vendors, businesses and consultants with whom we built relationships. I regularly consulted Adam as a thinker and educator as we redesigned programs and the image of the Tech Center. He provided leadership with key marketing strategies and guided their implementation. The development of formal marketing and outreach plans, procedures, and systems supported our enrollment goals; we were able to increase enrollment by 25% in one year.
