Have you heard…

We love to talk about ourselves, but we think that it’s best if you hear from our clients.

Jay Spach, SVP, Organizational Development, Thomson Reuters

Working with Versant is really a prime example of working with a partner ­— as opposed to a vendor. In more than 10 years working with Versant, I have found that the word "partner" for Versant really means proactively understanding our needs and goals and getting out in front of them. I can't count the times I have gone to Versant for some kind of service or support and found, through their pushing me, that I really needed something I hadn't considered. They really see my needs through my eyes and respond accordingly.

Whether I need help putting out a new service, communicating new capabilities or simply getting my head around a communications or marketing issue, getting things done in my department without their advice and support would be a lot harder and much less successful.

Michelle M. Friedman, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Davis & Kuelthau

Versant's expertise is irreplaceable, creativity unmatched and each member of its team is a true professional. Not very often in today's environment does one come across a vendor partner that truly understands and values its relationship with clients - Versant is the exception.

With the expertise Versant provided to Davis & Kuelthau in our rebranding, we received the coveted 2008 Legal Marketing Association’s Your Honor Award (Chicago Chapter), sponsored by the Wall Street Journal. The award acknowledged our firm as the best among law firms throughout the Midwest in the category of Identity Launch. Judges based the recognition on the excellence in our logo design, new Web site and integrated branding program. I believe such recognition speaks volumes about the value of working with Versant.

Michael T. Crowley, Jr., Chairman, President and CEO, Bank Mutual

Professional, friendly, courteous and intelligent - Versant is much like us in how we do business with our customers.

Kim Stebbings, VP of Marketing & Sales, Medingo

“I have worked with Versant at two companies. They have done a great job at both. Why? They listen ... and execute. They are efficient, cost-effective and responsive. It is rare when you find a service provider who really tries to implement your vision – down to the last detail. They took our branding guidelines and made it real, exceeding our expectations.” (former VP Marketing, Anodyne Therapy)

Ann Rieger, President, Davis & Kuelthau

Partnering with Versant to redesign a platform for our Web site was a solid decision by our firm. Not only was the launch of our new site a resounding success in the eyes of our clients and employees, it also received stellar reviews at a recent CEO roundtable at which Web sites were the topic of discussion. I left the roundtable meeting feeling both proud of our site and thankful for our collaboration with an organization with vision such as Versant.

Lisa Buckingham, SVP, Chief Human Resources Officer, Lincoln Financial Group, Formerly SVP, Global Talent, Thomson Reuters

Versant rocks. Their strategy, creativity and service are superb. They consistently provide value and results!

Kindra Loferski, Guest Relations Manager, MillerCoors

Versant has shown great diligence in providing the Miller Brewery Tour and Visitor Center versatile and diverse marketing opportunities during ever-changing times. Cost-effective planning options, fresh ideas and creative campaigns have kept our customers coming back for more. This is a partnership that has stood the test of time and continues to pay off in new ways year after year.

Michael Brophy, VP, Corporate Communications, Midwest Airlines

I have engaged Versant on critical communication projects across three industries in which I've worked. They are strategic in terms of supporting an overall communications objective and creative in executing it.

Dan Glickberg, Fourth Generation Owner, Fairway Market

Working with Versant has been a great experience both for me personally and for my company. Before starting Discover Fairway we had no experience in video production and relatively little experience with the Internet. It was an extremely difficult task to couple what our industry considers best practices with the uniqueness of the Fairway Market brand, but in launching Discover Fairway we believe we have created a Web site that delivers both of those aspects and will build enormous brand equity value for us. Although Fairway has fantastic brand awareness in the tristate area, with Discover Fairway we are leveraging our brand to reach out to a much broader audience.

I think one of the main reasons we were able to accomplish all of this was that we were working with some of the best people in the industry. Things have come along so quickly here that at our last video shoot, our third overall, not only were we able to shoot and edit 10 Discover Fairway webisodes, but we also cut six commercials, all in a three-day span. I do not think I could have finished that many video segments in that amount of time with anyone other than Versant.

Telvin Jeffries, EVP, Human Resources, Kohl's

Versant's Connecting to a Changing Workforce program is really having an impact in helping Kohl's support our core values within the organization. Our team finds Versant to be a true partner.

Jackie Janz, Marketing Director, Milwaukee County Transit System

We consider Versant a partner. They are involved with our company and assisting us to promote MCTS in the best possible ways. They provide us with creativity, thoroughness and long-lasting award-winning products.

Adrian Butler, Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Cengage Learning

Versant understands the "business of HR" and how to use creative communications and technology to engage the workforce. They are also a great partner who work really well with the team.

Doug Newhouse, Managing Partner, Sterling Investment Partners

When it comes to an acquisition or merger... the best time to bring Versant in is early in the process. Their expertise is in creating a communication plan that integrates the cultures of the acquired company and the acquiring company, dramatically increasing the likelihood of that business succeeding going forward. Before I became acquainted with Versant I had never understood that there was actually a practical approach to making that happen. We appreciate the high value Versant provides.

Barbara Rosenblum, CEO, Strategic Healthcare Programs

SHP had already been branded by the market. Versant extracted the market perceptions and turned them into an actual business tool for our organization. We always lived our brand, but we rarely used it to our advantage until Versant entered the picture. Now our brand enters every discussion we have at SHP, even those of a technical nature. Versant lighted the path that we had been traveling down in the dark for many years, and helped us magnify what makes us different.

Robert G. Wells, MD, Pediatric Radiologist, President, Pediatric Diagnostic Imaging

Versant has been an essential partner from inception of our business. Versant provides the gamut of services for effective branding and marketing and has consistently exceeded our expectations. We consider Versant to be a partner that is essential for the ongoing success of our business.

Herschel “Buzz” Peddicord, Founder, HomMed

Versant has helped us navigate through a highly competitive healthcare marketplace and communicate our brand and our value to our core audience. The result has been the creation of one of the largest home care networks in the country and an extremely profitable business model for Honeywell HomMed. The acquisition of HomMed has allowed Honeywell to make a strategic entrance into the home healthcare market.
