Thank you, dear Wizard. Ironic that now I am enthusiastic about the “campaign” after I balked so intensely at the start – even the word campaign made me wince. Now I am thinking that campaign is very close to champagne and therefore a terrific thing.

The SPRINTURF Sales division needed a a tool to help catch the attention of customers and Landscape Architects in our industry. Something that would take sales to the next level. Xeno Design put together a great SPRINTURF Newsletter providing valuable company information and industry news. The design and professional writing is just what we are looking for.

To reach our sales forecast in the coming year, Xeno Design will be a big part of making this happen. They are easy to work with and very professional. Thank you Xeno Design!

We’ve always felt strongly committed to the quality of our advertising at Leblanc. These eleven Addies – including and unprecedented six First Place Awards – are extremely gratifying. More important, though, they assure our nationwide network of dealers that Leblanc supports their sales efforts with the finest and most progressive promotional materials available.

Sattel Communications was changing its name to Coyote Technologies, and we needed to redesign our image quickly. Their efficiency and attention to detail allowed us to accomplish a tremendous task in a very short period of time. Xeno listened to our input, did their research and established a positioning document and corporate profile with skill and clarity. They were able to humanize our technical information. With this as the foundation, Xeno designed a contemporary visual solution for Coyote Technologies.
