ENDORSEMENTS

"It is fairly easy to find an ad agency and/or graphic designer. It is not easy to find one that fits all of your expectations. That's what I had with Brian when I was Marketing Director for Century Boats. Brian was obviously creative, talented and produced a great product, but more importantly he understood our business. He "got" the emotion behind a consumer buying a boat. He also understood the importance of all pictures and materials meeting legal policies and representing our company in the highest manner. Brian was always available to me, dependable and quick to attend to my creative needs. Great teamwork produces great results!"
     — Jill Moore
          Owner/President, Top 2 Bottom Marketing
          Former Marketing Director, Century Boats

 

“Brian Bruzewski brings a powerful combination of talents to the table in his work.  He is a highly talented artist and designer but comes to his client work with that critically important overlay of strategic thinking and a genuine drive to understand the client’s business needs.  His client service skills are superb, and you can count on knowing what is going on with your work and what it is going to cost you, no surprises, no doubts.  I’ve worked with Brian for years and recommend him without reservation as a top-notch creative professional and a genuine pleasure to work with.  If you’ve managed creative vendors in the past and watched them drive you nuts, you will find working with Brian to be the dynamic opposite of those experiences.”

“Our firm was looking to update group and individual photos and contacted Zanimal to oversee the process.  The photos were both artistic and inventive with an end result that thoroughly captured the essence of our firm.”
