"In 2008, upon acquiring the company, it was clear to me that our “go to market” strategy was not consistent with our operating philosophy and that we were not communication a consistent message to the marketplace. Cre8ive-Team worked with our company to develop a brand that communicated our core values, developed a marketing program that clearly communicated a differentiated message to our customers, and helped us implement the program across a variety of media outlets. Beyond that, Cre8ive-Team consistently brings fresh ideas and unique opportunities to our company. Results speak: in the first quarter of 2009, EPI’s revenue was up more than 50% year over year, I attribute a large part of that success to the work of Ken Rygh and Cre8ive-Team.."

"From vision to final product, Ken Rygh of Creative Art & Design truly guides the way. His concepts are creative, he is attentive to fine details, he delivers on time, and he makes any project fun! My favorite endeavor with Ken was our See the New Face of Martin Library campaign. Talk about results!! The collaborative impact of his art on posters, billboards, television, newspapers, brochures, and banners - including three 18 feet high banners hanging in the library atrium - created a tremendous buzz around York County. People definitely knew about this library opening!"

"As a client, strategic business partner and friend for over twelve years I can speak directly to the character and abilities of Karen, both personally and professionally. As someone who encouraged Karen to create her own company, Bright Ideas, it was very obvious to me, that the marketplace would always respond to her special blend of Trusted Advisor abilities (Great questioning and listening, organizational, creative and leadership skills) delivered with the highest degree of integrity.

With Karen, any organization can be assured that the Bright Ideas she delivers, will match the issues challenges and opportunities they face."
