It takes more than 15 minutes of fame to succeed in business. No matter how big your budget, or how extravagant your marketing programs; the most credible form of advertising is word of mouth. Here’s what our clients say about Act One.
"I see these powerful images that bring to mind inspiring thoughts and touch my heart — images of camaraderie, honor, victory, power and celebration. I am referring to the web banner ads, designed by Act One Creative, LLC, that the Concord Monitor online graciously donated to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. The impact of these images is immeasurable... We are sincerely grateful..."
— Kathi Russ, Volunteer, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
"As the Director of Communications and Marketing for NH Healthy Kids, I worked directly with Nancy Brownstein, President of Act One Creative, and Ann Kontak, their Art Director, on numerous marketing campaigns. Their services and creativity are top-notch, and I was very satisfied with the work they did for NH Healthy Kids.
By far the biggest marketing campaign they worked on for NH Healthy Kids was the creation and launch of a new corporate website. Working with the team at Act One Creative on this project was a true pleasure. Their website design expertise and creativity produced a website that strengthens the corporate brand and allows clients to easily find the information needed. Additionally, the team was available to offer suggestions and guidance every step of the way.
Act One Creative was consistently on time and on budget with their projects for NH Healthy Kids."
— Amy Ellrod, Marketing Manager
"CMHI engaged Act One to assist with the marketing and messaging of its start-up organization, "Got Transition," a federally funded initiative whose mission is to ensure the systematic planning and implementation of transfers of healthcare from childhood to adult.
Act One assisted CMHI with the creative development and selection of a brandmark and tagline. Following that essential organizational development, they assisted with the creation and production of branded buttons, fact sheets, business cards and powerpoint slide templates. We have been extremely satisfied with their work.
Throughout the creative development process, Act One staff has communicated in a timely and effective manner, made efforts to consider and integrate our own staff input and delivered products on time and as promised.
We are currently working with Act One to develop and host a Got Transition website. Throughout this process, Act One staff have held regular meetings to educate us about website construction and to get our feedback on its design. They continue to be effective and timely communicators as we work together to edit and fine tune the structure and functionality of the site. We have been impressed by their knowledge of branded website architecture and site mapping, content development and navigation design...
(Act One has) been very respectful of our input throughout the phased development of this website. Staff are always responsive to our needs and have delivered each phase of development on time and as promised. Act One staff are pleasant and easy to work with.
I would recommend them highly for marketing and message development and especially for website development."
— Ann Walls, Project Director
"Act One was chosen by the State Library of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Law Library to design a website for our Public Law Libraries project. This project involves providing legal reference materials, guides, and training to public librarians throughout New Hampshire.
Everyone at Act One has been easy to work with and has done a tremendous job of guiding us through the process of website planning and design. The Public Law Libraries website (still in the production stage) requires a custom-designed database which has been built by Act One to accommodate our needs. Act One has worked with us to problem-solve difficult programming issues and, in addition, has educated us about the importance of design in websites. Left to ourselves, we would have been content with lots of text (black text on a white background, of course) and given little thought to the best way to present our information to public librarians.
Act One has consistently met the deadlines established in the contract and has graciously accommodated us when we have not met ours. Act One’s creativity, skill, and professionalism are outstanding and I highly recommend their services."
— Mary S. Searles, NH Law Librarian
