Awards are great.
Happy clients are better.
Recognized nationally for award-winning branding & identity, business card design, packaging applications, web design, and corporate communications, and environment design. But honestly - a client that is happy, and excited for the next project is the best reward.
The work Amanda presented allowed us to differentiate a new menu and service model for our Innovation Café @130King Street. We continue to leverage this work as a baseline to develop additional restaurant concepts and illustrate the capabilities of our brand to focus on very specific guest needs. Amanda approached this challenge from angles that were well beyond our own lens and provided solutions that both answered our business and brand objectives. Amanda followed this project from start to finish and explored various routes in order to show us how to arrive at what became our final solution. We are very satisfied with both the digital platforms and printed assets being used today. The coffee education video is one of our new favourite assets. The printed menus are also very well received by our guests. Thank you Amanda. Your professionalism and partnership is a valuable part of the Tim Hortons family.
