What our partners say about us

When organizations are doing meaningful work, clarity matters.

Our clients bring us scattered stories, complex programs, outdated materials and big ideas that need structure. We help them find the thread, shape the message and build communications that work in the real world.

Here’s what that process has felt like to the people who have worked with us.

The website and core language Write Design Group created for Independent Living Partnership’s TRIP Program have been a game changer.

The new site connects with both audiences we need to reach: people looking for access to services and the partners who help fund the work. When I shared the site with our partners, cities and senior centers, the response was immediate. They applauded the user-friendly improvements and said the site captured the TRIP Program professionally, with a clear focus on the user experience.

Our senior center partners love that the site is about helping people stay mobile and making information easy to find. Our funding partners appreciate the acknowledgement of their support. And everyone likes it because it sounds like us, just better.

Write Design Group took paragraphs of information about who we are and what we do and made it caring, clear and simple. Their communications work has given ILP a major boost as we move toward the next level of nonprofit success and service to our communities.

Jim and Kelly at Write Design Group helped transform the Sweet Maple Realty website and bring the Sense of Place framework to life online. They took the philosophy behind how I work with clients and helped turn it into a website that actually reflects how I run my business.

Partnering with WDG was an invaluable experience for IAP Foundation. As someone with extensive marketing experience, I was looking for a partner who could not only understand our mission, but also the challenges we faced in communicating our innovative commitment to tangible projects, full transparency, and donor engagement.

The WDG team was collaborative, efficient, and creative. Their thoughtful approach and strategic insight helped us to build a brand that feels authentic and human, while also being professional and compelling.

They were not only able to align our brand identity perfectly with our mission and vision, but also created a brand identity that truly resonates with our audience. We could not be more pleased with their work or the amazing brand guidelines they created for us.

I've worked with Kelly and her team for many years, and I can say enthusiastically they are absolutely the best! Their approach is beyond just making a deliverable or executing on a challenge; they do that exceedingly well. They have a knack for taking a step back, identifying what the overall goals are, helping you mind map what options might be, and executing. Their work is absolutely top notch! I never have to worry about what I'll get back when I engage with them.

Kelly is one of the most creative (and humorous) people I've had the joy to work with. Seriously, it's just fun to work with her! Any challenge you have, she can help you come up with options, messaging that gets at the heart of what you need, and deliverables that genuinely inspire.

Write Design Group knows how to identify your audience needs and exceed their expectations. You won't find a better partner to work with or a better value! I can't recommend their team and their work enough — trust me, you'll agree!

In one form or another, I have worked with the folks at Write Design Group for over 20 years. They have been trusted partners in the creation of engaging, dynamic, and accessible content. They bring both creativity and insights.

I have found that they listen to better understand my goals, my intended audience, and the desired impact from the deliverables. I highly recommend them for your marketing and writing needs.
