Only liasoned directly with Chris, who had at least one other developer working alongside them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Very happy with the outcome. Project was done on time and under budget. They took on several tasks outside the project scope to ensure that the website was the highest quality.

Clear lines of communication and Chris set up expectations and timelines well in advance.

I am the head of Investor Relations for a Real Estate private equity group in Atlanta that invests in Skilled Nursing Facilities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Thompson & Prince?

Our investor presentation that we send to prospective investors was not polished enough for the sophisticated audience we are targeting. Our materials were in need of a professional overhaul which T&P delivered.

What were your goals for this project?

Create a presentation to match the corporate image we want to project to our potential investors.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Research and relationship with Chris Gorges.

Describe the project in detail.

We had content created for a ~20 pg PPT deck but needed a professional design. T&P helped by understanding our vision and style and translating that into a format that we can use for this project and potentially as a template for other projects going forward.

What was the team composition?

I interfaced with one person, which made it very easy to share our ideas and feedback and get that translated to our designer without a lot of layers between.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Project was translated from vision to completion and executed very quickly... even with delays on the client side in providing timely feedback. We anticipate this presentation will help get us in with new audiences and translate to new equity sources for the company.

Seamless

Chris is great at everything, but especially at polishing up both design and specific wording that really makes the end product crisp.
