“The Heck Yeah! team was awesome! I had a really, really narrow window (over the holidays as well!) to create, build and deploy a brand new website for a company I was acquiring. Not only did they accept the challenge, they did so with vigor! They were more excited about the project than I was! The resulting site was very well done and right on point. It was exactly what we needed — not to mention 100% on time and on budget!”

“Working with Rich was wonderful. The 50th anniversary of our university was an extremely busy time for the marketing department, and the magazine was a signature piece to the celebration. Rich took our input and created a new design for this special issue of the magazine. Collaborating on the design was seamless! His handling of all the layout and production was invaluable to me. The entire process was a great experience.”

“Heck Yeah! has totally changed the way we communicate. Being a fairly small, local nonprofit, good design wasn’t always a priority. Before we hired Rich, the organization didn’t think we needed a professional designer at all. For years we’d been doing it ourselves. In addition to overall branding, Rich has helped us with campaign specific programs such as Giving Tuesday. Our first year participating in Giving Tuesday, without Rich’s help, we raised $20,000. The next year we hired Rich to help us to brand our campaign, and donations went from $20,000 to $60,000. This year, we started early and worked with Rich to design a more-comprehensive campaign—complete with banners, social media posts, website graphics and more. When the results came in, we raised over $197,000! Good design pays for itself every time! We love Heck Yeah!”Sheila Sillitto, Director of Communications & Marketing, NFCC

“Personally, the most important part of hiring Heck Yeah! is Rich’s spirit of collaboration. He and his team are experts in their fields who freely share their guidance with candor. Most importantly, they listen to the customer, seeking to understand first and then interpret that understanding into great results. They also helped educate our team by sharing their expertise, giving us the ability to do things better independently. This is uncommon. The result of our collaboration with Tempo was our going from concept to $18M in bookings in under 30 months. We continue to rely on Rich at Heck Yeah! as essential member of our team.”

“We approached Rich with a need for a logo and some sales collateral regarding a proprietary recycling vehicle we were having built. After presenting our objectives, Rich delivered concepts and ideas that helped us see the true value of our unique service offering — that of a comprehensive solution provider for large companies across several verticals. With a clever name and compelling presentation/sales materials, we got the attention and subsequent meetings with Fortune 500 companies before the truck was even delivered from the manufacturer! Rich and his team rock!”

“I needed to launch my new law firm within a short timeframe and needed a variety of marketing and advertising help. Rich immediately understood the challenges we faced and strategically crafted a plan for executing this brand launch that accurately reflects our established practice with distinct sub specialties. He delivered a logo, website and collateral materials that are polished and professional, and then was able to seamlessly expand the look and feel, crafting informational blog sites where my firm leverages its unique expertise. Traffic on all of our sites has steadily increased and the tools set in place are helping our firm thrive.”

We approached Rich with a need for enhanced communications. Given his familiarity with Livsey School, he suggested we explore a ‘brand refresh’ — an approach that respectfully retired the literal leopard logo from 1971— and move forward with a vibrant caricature of a proud, empowered, stylized mascot that would serve as the foundation of everything student/parent-facing. This high-level assessment proved extremely valuable as the simplified new direction saved the school money, as it was much cheaper to reproduce in black and white copies, while the popularity of Leo on spirit wear and other swag items consistently generate passive income for the school. Perhaps most importantly, the kids, and adults too, really LOVE Leo!!

“When I approached Rich, we were a start-up bank with only a name, logo, and style guide. He and his team took those core elements and seamlessly created a website that brought our brand to life. Post launch, he expanded the look and feel into new collateral materials that cohesively embody our uniqueness — approachability; reliance on technology; empathy for the customer. Every step of the way he helped us leverage those differentiators in a clean, professional, authentic manner. His design services have contributed to our overall marketing success since we opened our doors.”
