"We have worked with Cathy with Hummingbird Creative Group for several years now, and have been so pleased with their services. From designing our new logo and website, to assisting us with
search engine optimization and social media exposure, to being a liaison and advocate for us with local media outlets to get tv and radio ads designed and aired, Hummingbird has worked hard
to increase our exposure and name recognition in the community. We have seen traffic on our website increase, and even during this uncertain time with COVID-19 restrictions in place,
our business has maintained, and we credit this in part to Hummingbird's tireless efforts to keep our name visible."

"Wanted to shoot you a quick note to say how thankful we are for your team's hard work on our Marbles IMAX commercial. We just found out that 19% of YouTube viewers who see the ad watch the
entire thing and don't opt to skip the last 15 seconds. That amounts to more than 5,000 views in only 3 weeks! To add to that, according to some statistics, on average only 3% of commercial videos
are viewed in their entirety. This puts 19% into the "fantastic" category. These numbers are in a difficult to grab attention demo – geo-targeted mostly to 18-39 year old males. Thank you for your efforts."

professional, high-end feel. Your work was extraordinary and
shows how you put clients and quality first. Thank you!"

"The team at Hummingbird is meticulous, responsive and
wonderfully creative. The quality of our collateral and the
impact of our advertising improved significantly when

"Hummingbird's rebranding efforts have helped to grow our core customer base and average purchase size while preparing us for a changing marketplace as evidenced by larger
account wins. We have been able to grow while most of our competitors have not. Hummingbird's efforts helped us to develop coffee brands to address specific channel needs while
maintaining the integrity of our core brand. Rebranding of our sales collateral, marketing and websites by Hummingbird also allowed us to land several multi-units (50 plus locations)
within 18 months. Contributing factors in this were comments from the customers that our website, collateral and public relations strategy gave them confidence in us as a company
having a well thought out articulated business strategy and able to serve their needs of their businesses."

has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. Operating our
company without Hummingbird's creative ideas and brand management
would be like trying to drive a care without tires...it can be done,
but you're not going anywhere fast!"

"Hummingbird continues to exceed my expectations with
their quality of work and customer service! The work they have
done for us has helped to bring our company and business
model to a whole new level, and I would highly

5 Stars isn't enough! The creative team at Hummingbird took our ideas and process for nutrition and weight loss, which we were delivering in a less than fancy word doc, and transformed it into a
beautifully branded website with fantastic copy and a great message. The entire process with Wendy was easy from the initial meeting. What we love about Hummingbird is their
ability to pull out what you do and pull it into a visual package which sells! Our site and collateral materials are fresh and beautiful! Worth every penny! Thank you!

strategic thinking and passion for what she does. She is a true champion for he clients – how many marketing agencies can say that they have worked with the
same clients for 20+ years? In a world where marketing is frequently viewed as a commodity and agency partners are deemed interchangeable,
the longevity of her client relationships is a testament to the incredible service that she provides."
