Rich Johnston of Congru was a tremendous help in developing and solidifying the branding for a new MBA program recently developed by Framingham State College. His creative work brought visual appeal, consistency, and innovative approaches to our marketing efforts. He helped us stand out in a very crowded market by establishing a compelling identify. As a result, we made great strides in connecting with prospects. From a unique program brochure, to print advertisements and a powerful billboard, Rich was able to turn around time-sensitive projects seemingly overnight. I was most impressed by his ability to listen, gather input, share ideas, and develop a winning design in no time! His approach is very collaborative, including the client at all stages of the project, and he makes himself available at all hours of the day. I would strongly recommend Rich Johnston to anyone seeking to promote their offerings, services, or brand.”

Being a one-person public relations and development shop and charged with coming up with a "look" to represent our brand new library was the most difficult challenge I have ever faced. I needed to create new brochures, a new Web site, giveaways and much more in anticipation of our grand opening. After a few visits to the library (which was still being built!), Rich came up with a design that incorporated the tradition of the old library with the modern look and color of the new building. Recognizing my need to have a logo/image that was flexible enough to use in a variety of ways, Rich created an image that I have been able to seamlessly incorporate in many ways - including bookmarks, a Web site, brochures, library cards, bags, newsletters, ads, pens and letterhead. The response to our new look has been overwhelmingly positive.

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the whole process took from start to finish. Rich and I discussed the farms goals and what we wanted the product to achieve. I shared some examples of our past packaging and those of the produce industry. Rich provided me with several ideas and when I had picked one he refined it while working with the farm and packaging company on color, sizes, and last minute production changes. All in all it went very quickly and was nearly painless. The products have met with great acceptance.

I had the pleasure of working with Rich during the design of the Downtown Improvement Districts new logo, letterhead/business cards and web site. Rich tackled the job with great enthusiasm, creativity and professionalism. Rich was organized, efficient, and willing to do whatever was needed to get the job completed.
