What Clients Are Saying

A QUICK NOTE FROM CHIP: I love my clients. I can’t think of any other way to sum up how I feel about the privilege of working with the coolest people on the planet on a regular basis. I am truly humbled and honored to display some of the kind words they have shared with me:

 

“Chip was hired to modernize our website using our content and our basic framework. We are a small company without a designer, a marketing person, or a web IT person so we were looking for someone that could advise and guide us in these areas throughout the process of web site creation. We also needed guidance utilizing videos as well as creating web pages that are relevant to a prospect doing a Google search. Chip was easy to work with throughout the process. He took the time to listen to our goals and asked appropriate questions. He used his creativity and marketing skills to create a great website that shows the wide range of industrial equipment we can produce in an easy to navigate and easy to read layout. He made sure that our branding is purposely embedded consistently throughout the pages and on our videos and printable material. We needed a modern, applicable company and product website and Chip created a solution for us that far exceeded our expectations. The work was done promptly (including our ongoing changes). I would recommend Chip to anyone and plan to use him for all our future needs in marketing and design.”
Chris Saunders, Director of IT, Millard Manufacturing

 

“The next time I write a book about Customer Service, Chip Thompson will be in it. Thank you for not only building the best web site I have ever had but also making the process painless and enjoyable! Not only am I thrilled with your ability to create my vision, but also your passion and enthusiasm to be an expert in a crowded industry. I will always brag to my peers about your honesty and the way you under promise and over deliver (that’s text book my friend). I am forever grateful and will refer you whenever possible.”
Respectfully, Van Deeb, Author, Speaker and Business Consultant

 

“Chip is a true talent. It is rare that you find a designer/programmer/PR advisor/art director all in one vendor. But Chip is all those things and more. He has been able to re-brand our agency with sophistication and style, while keeping our historic values in the forefront. Chip is easy to work with, always on time, extremely accessible and continues to exceed our expectations. He is patient and always willing to work with us to develop our skills in marketing and branding which is crucial for sustainability. We value our relationship with Chip tremendously and would highly recommend him to anyone.”

Suzi Mariano, Public Information Coordinator, Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association

 

“We had been contemplating creating a website for our company for awhile. When it came down to deciding who we would work with on this, Chip came highly recommended. We loved his enthusiasm and his innovative ideas for our website. We are so glad to have worked with him!! Our website turned out better than we could have imagined. Chip was able to take our ideas and create an outstanding website that is professional and functional. Chip is very hardworking and so creative. He made us feel comfortable from our first meeting with him. We appreciate everything he did for our office. Thank you so much!!”

Kim Howell, Endodontic Specialties

 

“Chip, our new website rocks! You created an idea, ran with it and delivered an outstanding product. You were great to work with, so helpful with every question, affordable and you listened and understood our needs from the beginning. I have wanted to redesign our company website for three years but had no idea what this all entailed. Your knowledge and insight made the process a very smooth transition. In addition to this amazing website, you helped us through everything in-between like photography, teaching me the editing software and creating forms that seemed impossible. Your positive, can-do attitude is refreshing and energizing. Your creativity is out of this world. The passion you possess for the task at hand is a superior strength and you clearly went above and beyond with our new website. Thanks a million! Look forward to working with you again!”

Abbey Schindler, Director of Marketing, DRM, Inc. dba Arby’s

 

“I have worked with Chip for a couple years on various types of projects from collateral pieces, to media ads, to websites, to video production and so on. Not only is his design work refreshing — clean, crisp, fresh and creative, he is a great problem solver and thinks outside the box in order to achieve a client’s marketing goal. He will always suggest and do what’s best for the client, even if it means less to his own bottom dollar. Chip provides that integrity while still providing the highest quality work.

That’s my 2 cents! ;)

Jessie Forrest, GIKK Orthopedic Specialists

 

“Chip is a terrific designer. He is creative. He works quickly. He delivers on time and on budget. And most importantly, he understands the communications process. Recently, however, he stepped up to solve a different kind of problem for one of my clients. I was trying to help my client solve a hosting issue and after hearing from a half dozen firms that this was “a big deal,” Chip stepped in. Within days he had the situation resolved and very affordably. This is what quality customer service is all about, or should be.”

Shawnie Higgins, Paladin Marketing

 

“A few months ago, I realized that I needed help branding my small business so that I could stand out from my competition. I considered several design and marketing companies, but nobody seemed to have Chip’s style or level of creativity, so I chose him for the project. At first, I was concerned that creating a website long-distance would be difficult, but after a few phone conferences and emails with him, my fears were gone. I warned him from the beginning that I could be very picky and demanding, but he assured me that he would work with me until I was happy with the result. He sent me the first visual concept for my site within a few days, and to my total surprise he nailed it on the first try! Throughout the entire process, Chip was efficient, patient, funny, down-to-earth, and persistent in finding solutions to fit my needs. He also came up with innovative ideas to further promote my brand that I never would have thought of! The final result is a website that I am incredibly proud to call my own. When it comes to something as important as branding your business, don’t entrust the task to someone who is just “doing a job”… give it to someone like Chip, who is passionate and knowledgeable about every aspect of marketing. With him, you’ll have a graphic designer, web designer, marketing guru, social media genius, and more… all wrapped into one!”

“When we first meet Chip we had a great “niche” product and that was about it. Chip was instrumental in developing our new company name and logo character. His creative and innovative ideas often make my head spin but in a good way!:) Chip is great to work with and he always has your best interest at heart. Thanks for all you do for us!!”

“I have worked with many agencies over my years in big brand marketing and Chip Thompson stands out as a consummate professional. Chip Thompson came to us through a recommendation from a mutual business associate. Chip not only took the time to meet with me before the RFP process, but to truly understand our not for profit business. He is very innovative, a pleasure to work with and always listens to and works with the client. He provides recommendations and solutions that promote the Stephen Center and all of our programs under our brand umbrella. I would recommend Chip to anyone looking for help with web production, graphic design and marketing support. He can do it all. Thanks Chip!”

Cindy Oelke, Stephen Center

 

“We were searching for a web designer, and ended up with so much more. Chip Thompson not only gave us the cutting edge look we were seeking in a website, but also played an integral role in the development of our new brand. Assisting with web and print design, photography and even scripting, Chip Thompson and his team consistently produce top-tier quality work – and do it quickly, while staying in budget. We are thrilled to have Chip and his team working for us!”

Matt Lessman, SnapStone (CoMc)

 

“Chip has done a phenomenal job rebranding Bland. The materials, website and ideas he has provided us have far exceeded our expectations and have helped shape our image tremendously. We are proud to call Chip Thompson one of our business partners and are proud of his award-winning marketing pieces he has done for Bland & Associates! We receive compliments all the time on our marketing pieces, business cards and website. That speaks volumes on his work. Thanks Chip!”

Jeremy Vokt, CPA, Shareholder, Bland & Associates, P.C.

“Patty and I want to thank you for all your help and guidance in making Harvey Custom Signs, LLC become a reality. Harvey Custom Signs was our idea but would be nothing without your vision, talent and expertise. You were able to take our ideas, which most of the time were scattered at best, and designed a beautiful, professional and functional website. From our very first meeting, we both felt very comfortable and you always made sure to complete whatever was needed on time and beyond our expectations. Whenever anyone has needs for logo or website design the only name I give is Chip Thompson Design. Thanks again.”

Bob Harvey, Owner, Harvey Custom Signs, LLC

 

“Chip Thompson is one of the most hardworking individuals I know. PSP has been working with Chip for about 6 months and he always delivers. His creativity is awesome and really hits it out the park with his innovative ideas. Chip has become a great partner for PSP and we are lucky to have him on our team. You will not go wrong getting Chip involved in any facet of his expertise that he offers. Thanks Chip, for everything, you rock!”

Steve Willis, Vice President, PSP Solutions, LLC

 

“Chip, I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I appreciated your work on developing my company website. For many years I wanted to establish a presence on the web, but was hesitant to do so. I hesitated because I always wanted to make sure that when people looked us up on the internet, our site would reflect my company’s uniqueness and professional standards regarding design principles.

Your creative insight, technical knowledge and assistance with developing our website was instrumental in achieving this goal for Straightline Design, Inc.”

Mick McGuire, Owner, Straightline Design, Inc.

 

“After contemplating a new web-site to expose our child care center to potential clients for many months, we were blessed to find Chip. Rosewood Academy Child Care and Preschool needed a website/exposure to reach out and hug parents to expose them to our awesome philosophy, center, curriculum, staff, etc. and Chip did JUST that. Chip is creative and timely in his work. What we wanted in our advertising came first and foremost in the process. After our initial meeting with Chip, our web-site was up and running in two-week time frame which speaks volumes for someone who is called to create our ideas in print/picture.”

Carl and Kelli Hansen, Owners, Rosewood Academy Child Care and Preschool

 

“I have worked with Chip on many different projects over the years. He obviously has great creative talent but what I think separates Chip Thompson from many of his peers is that he listens. He is truly interested in giving his clients what THEY want. His creative ego does not get bruised in the collaborative process. He is responsive and gets projects finished.”

Greg Boulay, Owner, Pella Windows and Doors of Omaha and Lincoln

 

“Chip Thompson is by far the most creative marketing person I have ever worked with in the 25 years I have been in charge of marketing for the businesses I have owned and still currently own. I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with him on the many projects he has completed for me. Not only is he talented beyond belief but he is also very timely with the projects. He has created three fantastic web sites for me one of which was very difficult as we were tied to a platform that was hard to work with, however Chip did not complain about the issues he just worked through them. Chip has also created many print pieces for me that are fantastic. I would highly recommend Chip to anyone that wants quality graphic marketing done for them. He is a great idea man when it comes to marketing the business. He is not only talented with graphic design and web site building but he also brings other marketing ideas to the table that are relevant as well.”

Scott Stark, Owner, Five Salon, Bravadas, Beauty First

 

“Chip is phenomenal! I will never use any other design company for any of the businesses I own. Chip is one of the most talented and creative guys I’ve ever met, and to boot he’s got a great sense of humor. If you own a business or are the decision maker in marketing you’re making a big mistake by not using Chip. Top notch results and extremely reasonable. If you don’t get the results I tout here, feel free to stop by my office and throw a rock through my window, but please make sure I’m not seated at my desk.”

Shea Degan, President, Signal 88 Security

 

“Chip Thompson is a pleasure to work with. He is very quick to respond and has a sense of urgency to meet and exceed timelines. He was skilled at creating our identity and brand and ensured consistency throughout our print and online marketing efforts.”

Laurie Holcomb, Principal, Blackstar Financial

 

“From the beginning it was very comfortable and easy to communicate with Chip to redesign our website. When we met to discuss the basic ideas we had for our website design, he not only listened but wanted to make sure he clearly understood our goals. He also offered additional ideas that would help enhance our website, but always mentioned that he would make whatever changes we wanted because it was our website. From the basic ideas we offered, Chip designed a new website that presented our company in the polished and professional look that we wanted but could not imagine. Since our website went live, we have heard positive responses from customers that chose our company over our competitors because our website was the most professional. We were so impressed with the new website that we have had Chip design postcards and advertisements for us as well. We could not be happier with our redesigned website and look forward to working with Chip in the future for any of our design and advertisement needs.”

Jaclyn Nawrocki, Heartland Wood Floors

 

“In my career, I have worked with some of the largest, nationally-recognized agencies however working with Chip Thompson has been refreshing. His creativity is world-class and his approach is truly unique in the industry. Chip works as a creative extension of my team and offers the flexibility I could not get from a typical agency. From brand development to creative demand generation campaigns, Chip’s creative contributions help take our marketing to a new level. I trust in Chip’s commitment to value and I’m confident in his creative talents.”

Gina Morkel, Senior Vice President of Marketing, MSI Systems Integrators

 

“I have been working with Chip Thompson for about five years now and I must say, he is as easy to work with as he is a great designer and communicator! You will enjoy the creative experience with Chip and you will never feel intimidated or out-of-the-loop as some creative spirits can make you feel. All I can say is if you have a creative project to produce and you want the best…go for it with Chip! Just look at his website. Enough said.”

Carol Scott Davis, Owner, Carol Davis Sportswear, Inc. :: www.cdsportswear.com

Howard and Sharon Krasne, Owners, Abe Krasne Home Furnishings

Phil Stalnaker, Marketing Director

 

“When deciding to launch a new website and redesign our print & advertising materials at the same time, Chip Thompson was the best candidate for the project. Having previous personal experience of working with a variety of web designers, Chip was a pleasant surprise as he was very accommodating in ensuring our new website was built according to our vision. He was flexible and also extremely timely in meeting deadlines. Our site launched effortlessly and we have since enjoyed the look and ease of our new website. Chip also worked hard to ensure that all of our various print brochures promoted the same mission of Mercy High School. Chip Thompson is a very talented and personable designer, and we at Mercy High School look forward to working with him in the future.”

Chip takes ownership of all the projects he does for us, and takes great pride in his work. Chip’s marketing is effective, helping us make a greater presence in Omaha.”
