We work hard for our clients. Gratifyingly, many of them have put pen to paper and
let us know how much they appreciated our work.

ABM Parking Services / NYNJ Port Authority

“The Port Authority of NY/NJ parks millions of cars a year at its metropolitan airports and marketing these facilities to the public is no small task.

There’s nothing like having an experienced creative communications department at your finger tips to translate ideas and strategic needs into professionally executed campaigns that are noticed and remembered.

SPA gives me a dedicated team for almost any situation. They make juggling numerous projects and dozens of deadlines look effortless – and the end results are always stellar.”

RCFD Logo Art

“With a force of over 3,000 men and women, recruitment is key to maintaining a strong service. Steve Powell has been a valued member of our Recruitment Committee since 2002 and has shown an incredible responsiveness to our needs in every facet of our operations.

In fact, as a direct result of the Canned Fire R&R Program he created, our recruitment numbers for firefighters in Rockland County almost doubled (192%) and resulted in an unprecedented waiting list for training.”

Futrfab, Inc.

“Having Steve and his people support our company brings the equivalent of a top tier creative marketing executive and staff. We have benefited greatly from his unparalleled creative sense, exceptional focus on quality and broad and extensive background.

Our company is rooted in the highly complex Integrated Circuit industry. By conceiving, producing and implementing a strategic, branded marketing program, Steve was able to capture the key messages from the complex subject matter and creatively position our print, electronic media and sales presentations to best communicate our vision and offerings.

This relationship has stood the test of time.”

“Steve worked with us extensively to develop our new brand and positioning statements, consulting with our entire sales force in a truly interactive process that made everybody feel ownership. When it came to our marketing messages, they found just the right mix of statements to communicate exactly what we knew we wanted to say, but in a surprisingly new way. The new tag line, “Innovation Through Applied Common Sense” is just brilliant – and the logo, graphics and materials are modern, upbeat and memorable, while still maintaining a strong professional presence.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the results.”

Scotts Lawn Service

“Just thought I’d give you an update…thanks to you, this year’s revenue has already matched last year. Roughly 20% of our customers quit every off season (industry standard is 30%). So, that means we’ve already made up that lost revenue and we still have another 6 months in the season to grow.

The postcards and online newsletter are working, they are a hit, and we have only rolled out the first 2 in the series!”

Bryan Ensall, Franchise Owner
Scotts Lawn Service

“In our first joint efforts, Steve’s campaign work increased our weekly video “take rates” by nearly 130%! Like most independent telephone companies, we have numerous marketing tasks and goals. he helped us crystallize and focus those goals and recommended a course of action that came at our needs from several angles.

I recommend Steve to any company looking to take its marketing efforts to the “next level”. He combines a unique design eye with well thought out concepts and branding initiatives. His creativity and attention to detail offers me a complete package. That’s what I want in my marketing resource. Bottom line, Steve’s marketing materials worked for WVT!”
