I first approached Monderer Design to redesign our website. The goal was to make the site visually appealing and easy to navigate for our customers while raising awareness of Optikos’ products and services. Of course, this was to be completed in an aggressive timeframe and with a tight budget.

Monderer Design exceeded all expectations. There were able to rapidly understand the needs of our highly-technical business and clearly and intelligently convey our corporate message through attractive and functional design work. They created an entirely new and distinctive look for our company while delivering a unique user friendly interface allowing visitors to easily browse our products. They also provided me with an extensive content management system making the site incredibly easy to update and maintain.

All of this was completed on time and within budget. I highly recommend Monderer design to companies both big and small and look forward to working with them on future projects.

Our magazine, Vitae, has become an important symbol of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The publication’s name, Latin for ‘lives’, encompasses the objective of the magazine as it describes the endeavors of the impressive and dedicated people who make up the UMass Medical School community — faculty, students, researchers and supporters. Just as important, the image of Vitae across the top of the publication is strong and vital. It is bold and directed. It is an important branding element that achieves our goal to describe an institution characterized by growth, vitality and innovation. Monderer Design has created a name and image that serves as an effective branding device. This is best revealed when a member of the UMass Medical School community refers to the publication not simply as that magazine, but as Vitae. Readers recognize Vitae, and those individuals covered in its pages want to be part of it because of that recognition. I would recommend Monderer Design to any company, organization or institution hoping to raise awareness of its products, programs and services.

As a 150-year-old cranberry company entering the real estate development market, the A.D. Makepeace Company represented an unusual design challenge: acknowledge the company’s history without seeming stodgy. Monderer Design created a web site for us which met the conflicting design challenges of newfangled functionality with old-fashioned vibe.

I have come to appreciate the fact that you really understand higher education customers. This has often been an uphill battle in working with other vendors. I really do appreciate that you understand the complexities of the messaging and design concerns when designing for higher education customers.

I have worked in corporate before, and higher ed is different, and you really get that. I think the way that you work with higher-ed clients is truly rare. If you ever need a reference for another higher-ed client, or any client for that matter, I would be happy to help. You have done outstanding work for us in the past, and I hope to work with you again in the future.

I began Creative Financial Staffing in 1994 and was referred to Stewart Monderer when we began the process of developing our brand and image. I remember it like yesterday, when Stewart presented a number of concepts around logo design, brochures, letterhead, etc. I have always been impressed with Stewart’s attention to detail and quality. For that reason, I have never looked beyond him and his design firm when we need design services. Most recently, we engaged Monderer Design to redesign our company’s website. They listened to our issues and understood our need. On top of delivering a quality site, they were easy to work with and came in on budget. I highly recommend Monderer Design.

I have worked with Stewart and designers at his firm while at several companies. I fully endorse Monderer Design. In addition to great design, I have appreciated the dedication and commitment they have to getting the job done right. I have pulled this firm into rush situations, critical projects, and more and they always deliver.

As we sought to evolve the Lightbridge brand to mirror the growth of our business, we needed to create a new design architecture that reinforced our messaging in a compelling way. Through our interview process with several design firms, Monderer Design most impressed us with their corporate branding talent and experience. Monderer was able to synthesize the various underlying elements and audiences that needed to be represented in an extremely powerful and flexible way.

Monderer has been invaluable at helping us find an identity that is fresh and innovative and conveys the personality we were looking for. They are more than a design firm; we really see them as part of the team helping to figure out approaches, direction and playing “devil’s advocate” when necessary to make sure our design is meeting our long and short term goals. We are excited about the materials they have designed and look forward to continuing our relationship with Monderer.

I was introduced to Monderer Design in 2005, and have been delighted with their strategic approach, creativity, expertise and attentiveness. Stewart Monderer and his team of talented designers worked collaboratively with us to bring a fresh vision to the College’s admission/viewbook brochures, bringing our marketing messages alive and making them readily accessible to the reader. In addition to design, they art directed photography, worked closely with our writers and internal creative talent, and made sure our brochures printed superbly…all within budget. Monderer Design eclipsed the conventional approach and created three beautiful brochures for Northeastern University’s College of Business Administration. The results of their work have been dramatic and long-lasting.

I would recommend Monderer Design to any educational institution or corporate entity that needs a thoughtful, honest, creative and dedicated design firm that will work closely with then to achieve design and branding excellence.

For what it’s worth, I think Stewart is one of the best in the business. We worked with him at my former firm (he designed and produced our identity kit) and I found him to be creative, responsive and professional. He’s a heck of a nice guy as well!

I have liked your Email campaign direction you’ve created all along, i.e. the branding of Santa Claus, the branding of Valentine’s Day, etc. It’s fun, informative, interesting.... tells people/prospects some things they probably did not know, tidbits of fun facts. Also, I like the way you focus a lot on strategic thinking, strategic development before your design solutions, branding solutions.... most designers don’t do this, most designers just design.... so, positioning Monderer Design as a very smart, strategic firm that understands branding, what it’s about, the importance of a strategic foundation is a good differentiator for you.... and you can show some good examples of this and present very nice work which was developed on smart thinking.

You guys are really impressive. We sent out an email to all employees with the PDF of the cards. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Thanks so much for making this happen with such short notice. I remain a big fan of Monderer Design and hope we can continue the partnership. BTW, we just got the final results back from our leadership postcard campaign and it was a major success. Thanks again for playing such a big part and being such a good partner.

Monderer Design has done a phenomenal job of helping us to improve and expand our brand assets. Their designers really took the time to understand our business and our culture which led to the development of interesting and creative designs. Additionally, they are extremely accommodating and have helped us in meeting some very tight timeframes. I would highly recommend Monderer Design to any organization who is looking to make an impact on their branding and awareness campaigns.

I think your work is great — your designs still permeate Ember’s marketing materials and you have created a lasting image for Ember that I’m proud of. My experience of Monderer is a responsive, inspired company that provides good value, and I’d be happy to recommend them to any company.

In my capacity as Senior Manager, Creative Services, at Progress Software, I have been outsourcing projects to Monderer Design regularly since 2007. I manage my own internal team of designers, but because of heavy workflow I often find myself needing to farm out various projects to trusted external design firms. Monderer is on my short list. I have hired them to help with a variety of projects: HTML email campaigns, Tradeshow booths, Banner ads and Print. Collateral from acquired companies that needed to be rebranded with a Progress look and feel.

In all cases, I have been extremely impressed by their responsiveness, their understanding of our sometimes hard-to-navigate corporate branding guidelines, and their ability to think outside the box. I’m constantly delighted to see how their team can deliver more than I expected — in terms of both quantity (more options than I requested) or quality (pushing designs with inventive, elegant solutions that I might never have considered). What’s especially impressive is that most of our interactions have been via email or phone rather than in person; they ‘get it’ on the first interaction.

As the Director of Investor Relations, the Annual Report is the most important print piece from our department. Monderer Design has designed our Annual Report for each of the 3 reporting years since SoundBite went public. Their keen observations have helped them understand our business, in order to clearly and intelligently convey our corporate messages through their design work, and as such have become a major contributor to the process each year. Monderer Design is reliable, cost-effective and very creative. They are an excellent design firm to work with, and I highly recommend them.

Stewart runs Monderer Design and does rockstar work. He did a site for me while I was at Cognio, and I attribute our sale to Cisco to him.

Regarding Monderer Design, I would recommend them without hesitation. They are creative, diligent, and responsive and understand the urgency to the work and always deliver a clean well-articulated product. I can tell you without a doubt that having them on the payroll literally gave me one last thing to worry about. I knew things would always be done right, on time and within budget. Stewart has assembled a first class team that is dedicated and always willing to go the extra mile and most importantly so knowledgeable that you don’t have to spend endless cycles explaining what you want and how to craft your vision.

Monderer Design provided exceptional service and creative output under unreasonable time constraints for Novogy as we crafted images and positioning for our business. We felt completely engaged in the creative process and were extremely pleased with the process, options presented to us, and the final branding solution. We look forward to continuing to work with Monderer in the future.

Monderer Design even helped us revamp the management console for our flagship product, GRIDSCALE. With Monderer’s help we were able to turn a simple Web site with brochure-ware into a lead generation machine. The design itself helped project simple and compelling messages to our target buyers. We were able to see the results early on and build over time. Currently our site hosts dozens of online campaigns that deliver leads to our sales teams and give us valuable insight into how to effectively market to our target audience. Plus, the content management system Monderer implemented allowed us to implement new campaigns, host our own blog and update the site without IT intervention. Monderer’s work was always delivered on time and within budget. I highly recommend Monderer Design and look forward to working with them in the future.

I’ve worked with many agencies and design companies during my career. Nothing beats Monderer. Monderer Design was a great company to work with. Stewart and Jessica were extremely knowledgeable and talented. Should we need to do any graphics work in the future, we know we could rely on their talents to get our message across in a clear, concise way.
