Graphic Details is one of the best design firms I have worked with in my 25 years of marketing. The first project we did with them, 5 years ago, was a web redesign. We were so delighted with the team that we have used them for every project since. The depth and breadth of their talent is surprising for a firm their size. That added to their responsiveness and competitive pricing makes them a real find.

Graphic Details is a talented, digitally-savvy, detail-oriented firm with deep experience in secondary school and higher education marketing. Principal, Brenda Riddell and her team bring creative, design and branding know-how as well as strong technical knowledge to clients and agency partners. My media planning company has enjoyed working with Graphic Details on several school marketing projects and we look forward to continuing our collaboration. Not only do they offer a stellar marketing tool kit, they're great communicators and project managers helping projects stay on time and on budget. I highly recommend Graphic Details!
