"Not only are we pleased with our newly reinvigorated logo and new Web site, we are also grateful that your team led us through a deliberate and thorough process to help us achieve our goals. The methodology that steered us to our new site truly helped us focus on who we are, what we do and most importantly, who we serve. Words alone cannot express the gratitude we have for the Caler&Company team. When we think about what we had prior to our involvement with Caler&Company (in work, support and personal service) I can unequivocally say the contrast has been enormous.

"My thanks to Caler&Company! What a sharp group. You're like swans—graceful as hell on the surface, but underneath, I see everyone paddling like crazy to get us moving in the right direction. After reviewing several firms, our Board of Directors unanimously selected Caler&Company and it's easy to see why. Other agencies spent all their time talking about them...how great they were, all their awards, how smart their staff is. They came off as stuffed shirts. Caler&Company spent all their time talking about us and getting to know us. I didn't hear one word about Caler&Company. You did your homework and all your comments, suggestions, recommendations and research was about moving us forward. You're sales and marketing meeting with our sales staff of 20 was the best we have ever had in our 25-year history. We heard only favorable comments regarding the meeting. Every interaction with your firm has been exceptional." President

"I just want you to know that the presentation box and binder regarding the establishment of the MBRF Edison Innovation Center with the Prince of Dubai's Foundation and our Edison Foundations throughout the Arab world was a reflection of your creativity, ability to digest facts and foundation missions clearly, understand the relationship between foundations in dealing with the Government and Private Sector, and above all, your exceptional competence. We have dealt with many consulting companies over the years to help develop the brand and image of Thomas Edison and can clearly state Caler&Company is the best. You only achieve that status once you understand what the philanthropic sector does, and should do, to enhance the communities in which we live. Keep up the good work!" Chairman
Charles Edison Fund and Edison Innovation Foundation


"Caler&Company provided phenomenal marketing support for our non-profit University of Akron conference, 'Fueling the Endurance Athlete.'

The Caler&Company team were an absolute pleasure to work with [by] walking us through everything." Conference Chair
The University of Akron Nutrition/Dietetics Board


"The clarity and continuity of the materials in this package were instrumental in welding the partnership between the Edison Innovation Foundation and the delegation from Dubai. Caler&Company's understanding of the educational framework was critical in developing a package that was so sensitive to the cultural needs of the Middle East. We were so very appreciative of your ability to research information that was needed to build this package and to highlight areas that gained the faith of all parties concerned. Again we thank you for your contribution. You are adding to the value of educational programs for the world's youth." Executive Director
National Museum of Education


“I wanted to personally thank you and your team for the excellent support and direction that you’ve provided us regarding our HOPE VI collaboration for the newly emerging Edgewood Village. This $50 million urban revitalization assignment will undoubtedly transform this Akron neighborhood, which has suffered blight and neglect for years. Your leadership and the support of your entire team helped steer us to understand the complexities of marketing communications and the impact that an uplifting brand has on the future success and vitality of a neighborhood. I have proudly served AMHA for 20 years and I have had my eyes opened to the value that a professional brand management organization like Caler&Company can bring to an important assignment such as Edgewood Village. Thank you for hanging in there during the arduous RFP process and working directly with key staff to create our position, ‘An Akron Neighborhood Celebrating Community,’ while adding clarity and meaning to this newly branded message.” HOPE VI Director

"Steve, you and your team listened very carefully to the goals, inspiration, vision and story we had to tell regarding the creation of Park Lane Villa's Web site. The end result is spectacular; 60 percent of our leases are derived from the initial visit to the Web site; in fact comments are always made about it being one of the best sites people have seen and how much they have enjoyed viewing all of the pages. We have had numerous residents lease a unit 'site unseen' because of the thoroughness of our new Web site, the wonderfully detailed unit layouts and the ease in which one can navigate [the pages]. Park Lane Villa was our second successful project with Caler&Company and we look forward to more in the future." Managing Partner

“We hired Steve and his company to help us create a brand for a development project.

He quickly grasped how all the components fit together and delivered a comprehensive, dynamic strategy for our project. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve and will use him again whenever the need arises.” Director, Sales & Marketing

"The strategic marketing plan has been invaluable and has provided an excellent blueprint for future marketing, development, communication and promotional activities. It gave us the focus we needed to pursue these critical activities with an organized approach. Most importantly, your team's creative efforts helped the agency to relaunch their Web site and utilize this excellent communication tool in a more effective, productive and meaningful way. Without question, your expertise and dedication have raised the level of marketing and development at the agency and have created a clear, professional and comprehensive marketing and communications plan.

Your contributions have been immeasurable." Board of Trustees

"When we used your 'Jump Start' format for planning our marketing and communications needs I had no idea that our efforts would result in a comprehensive approach to communicating the mission of our YMCA. Your group facilitation skills are excellent and the process showed that you were interested in everyone's ideas, not just your own. Your staff has been a pleasure to work with and has really drilled down deep into our YMCA and really becomes part of the family." President/CEO
YMCA


“As you know, my entire family has been active YMCA advocates for years. As Chairman of the Board of Trustees, I am happy to tell you that your team listened intently to the frustrations we were having with the old Akron Area YMCA Web site. Our old site was certainly outdated, but it was also absent of programs, hyperlinks, a robust calendar of events and the ability for members and donors to contribute online. Your team has brought our site back into currency and has also trained 28 key staff who now have user names and passwords enabling them to upload fresh content and photos 24/7. We have also noticed a considerable increase in Web traffic, ongoing e–communications to members and an excellent tie-in to Stelter, perhaps making Akron Area YMCA the only YMCA in the country to have live RSS feeds for its planned giving. Please extend our gratitude to your Web development team.” Board of Trustees
Akron Area YMCA


"The key elements developed by your design team get the credit for this renewed energy. Your group's consultations have helped steer us in this endeavor.

Thank you for your help in getting us rolling, and for your continued help as we grow." COMPAS


"I can honestly say that a great deal of our success and growth can be directly attributed to Caler&Company's efforts in designing the finest promotional literature in the travel industry. Time and time again we have received accolades from our clients and colleagues in the travel industry, on the professionalism of all of our materials. In fact, a leading travel industry consultant recently commented that in all of his consulting of travel agencies' marketing and promotional tools he has never seen anything as superior as our material. This is indeed a tribute to Caler&Company." President
DaVinci Custom Travel & Tours


"Unbelievable! That is the best word I can find to effectively describe not only the quality of the full color brochure that Caler&Company designed for Famous Supply, but how we and more importantly, our customers, feel about this great marketing tool.

They, in essence, became an extension of our company. Caler&Company's ability to think a project through to every last detail has been particularly impressive.

It is truly one-stop shopping." Communications Director
