What People Have Said About Colin Chase's Work in an Agency Setting


"We hired Colin Chase to help us with a marketing project. We had a basic idea, but not the means and certainly not the talent to make it a reality. Colin's creativity, hard work and the ability to listen as much as ask, produced a product which directly lead to an increase in sales. Sales prior to the marketing project were less than 200K per year. Today, our business enjoys more than 1.2 million annually for this specific product. I could not have been more pleased. Plus, even the marketing world at large applauded the project as the 3D animation won a Telly award in 2006."

"Dear Colin:

Thanks so much for the wonderful work you and your staff provided Ence Homes in the production of our interactive CD-ROM. The shipment arrived today and we were so thrilled with the final results, I just had to write you!

I appreciate the extra effort you put into this project in order for us to make our Home Show deadline. As you remember, we were running tight on time. The videographer had to make some last minute changes to the clips and had some trouble with his computer equipment. Needless to say, the deadline kept approaching! We finally overnighted the video to you on February 7th. Somehow you were able to provide us with the final CD's on February 20th!

So in those few days, you were able to make a miracle happen. I know that you spent a lot of long hours on the production so that you could, in turn, ship the product off for replication. Somehow you made it happen so we could have the CD's in time for the Home Show. And best yet, the CD's look and work great! Thank you! I'd gladly recommend you to anyone who needs this kind of professional, dedicated service. It's a rare find in today's business market."
