Client List

By Category

I’d be astonished if even one of these business names means anything to you, as they’re almost all local or regional businesses. A quick skim of their category descriptions, though, might be informative. (Please note that since my client work spans 25 years, some of the clients below are no longer in business, have renamed their businesses, have been bought, merged, retired, etc.)

I’ve included this information to back up my statement on the home page; I have indeed worked for a wide variety of businesses, as you'll see. (Some have links to that client’s assessment of my abilities.)

Client Testimonials

Advance Titron International Ltd.

"Teresa was eager to learn about our industry. Using that new information, she carefully choose words pertinent to it. For one of our earliest projects, she conducted her own customer research (since we had none to give her) and used that information to guide her design of our sales brochure.

Working with Teresa is a collaborative effort, with plenty of give and take. She listens to everything we say and questions it all which, in turn, helps us look at things from a customer's point of view.

She’s creative, fast, accurate. She does what she says she will do, and she does it on time."

— Ted Sillstrop, Sales & Marketing Mgr. for North America

(Back to Manufacturing & Wholesale Client List)

Committee to Elect Leona Stoecker

"Teresa created effective and creative campaign materials for my three mayoral campaigns. Each time I ran for this office, she used her amazing ability to translate my thoughts into just the right words. I would highly recommend Teresa to anyone who wants a professional product and very reliable service."

— Leona Stoecker, Mayor of Longmont (1993-2001)

(Back to Non-Profit & Professional Organizations Client List)

Dzyntek

"Teresa asked a great deal of questions about our industry and really got to know what we did and who our clients were. She gave us great ideas on marketing pieces and consistently added unique ideas to our newsletters that grabbed our readers' attention. She was very prompt in meeting deadlines and had an eye for detail. She was so easy to work with; we just sent her our rough ideas, and she created a professional newsletter that we were excited to send to our clients."

— Amy Szczepczynski, Director of Sales (1993 to 2002)

Exit Realty Front Range

"I found Teresa to be very easy to work with, as she was readily available and willing to take the time necessary to understand my situation. She listens carefully, then gives her creative ideas."

— Rick Hoge, Broker Associate

(Back to Real Estate & Land Development Client List)

1st Realty

"During the early life of 1st Realty in the 1990s, I wanted to develop a promotional piece that would present the company in a favorable light. Teresa was recommended as a person that could cut through the details and create a professional looking document. She quickly grasped the desired theme – with minimal discussion – and created a product we were very pleased to share with the public. I would recommend her highly when professional writing skills are required. I was equally impressed with her sincerity and concern – the kind of traits we all want in our business associates."

— Oral Beckmann, Co-owner (1990-1997)

Jacobites Pipe and Drum Band (of Sarasota)

"Teresa, your talents helped us produce our best concert ever this year! As you know, this was our most ambitious project to date – renting the best hall in Sarasota and having the pipe band perform with an orchestra and a chorus. We're grateful for your guidance in the initial planning stages. We received numerous compliments regarding the quality of your work from the service providers we hired, as well as the audience. Our efforts to promote the concert and provide a professional finish to our advertising materials wouldn't have been the same without your skills, time, and energy. We look forward to working with you during our 2007-2008 season."

— Larry Jacobs, Pipe Sgt. & Band Coordinator

Just for Dispatchers

"Teresa's command of language skills – along with her solid business knowledge – has greatly enhanced my company's marketing and sales efforts. She takes time to get to know my business and the special writing skills it requires. My projects are always completed on time and rarely need corrections."

— Dennis L. Bruns, President

(Back to Education Client List)

Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce

"The Chamber has utilized Teresa's services in a variety of ways. Sometimes we've used her in a traditional client-customer relationship. At other times, she's worked with groups and committees that were pursuing a community goal. In these situations, I've seen Teresa use her cooperative skills and ability to comprehend the goals of an event or program to bring those goals to life graphically and through great copywriting. I highly recommend Teresa for projects that require creativity, attention to detail, and deadline-oriented results."

— Brian O'Hanlon, President (1990-1998)

(Back to Non-Profit & Professional Organizations Client List)

Micro Mechanix, Inc.

"As I remember, I came to Teresa with a handful of pencil sketches, vague ideas, a thousand questions, and dozens of half-cooked objectives. However, in a very short period of time, she shaped these crude beginnings into a polished image which we were proud and eager to distribute to our customers. Without her assistance, Micro Mechanix would surely have never gotten off to the start it did. As a result, our first year surpassed our goals by over 100 percent, a figure I credit greatly to Teresa's support."

— Don Strait, Vice President

(Back to High Tech Client List)

St. Vrain Valley Education Association

"Teresa proved to be a wonderful resource, as she brought our logo and materials into the 21st century. She's creative, forward-thinking, and a pleasure to work with. She was able to take our ideas and synthesize them into a design that will be remembered."

— Jerri Modrall Doering, SVVEA President

(Back to Education Client List)

St. Vrain Valley School District RE-1J

"Teresa uses a distinct interview technique with customers at the onset of every project. This enables her to delve into the job with a comprehensive understanding of what's needed for the outcome. Her writing and editing expertise compliment her graphic design talents. I've collaborated with Teresa on several publication projects. Each has resulted in timeless designs that are still stylish and on-message after many years."

— Nancy Herbert, Community Relations Mgr.

Unlimited Solutions

"I just wanted to tell you how impressed we are with your services. Your quick grasp and understanding of the core of our business is remarkable. Your ability to then put these ideas into succinct, understandable concepts impressed even us! It's a pleasure doing business with you."

— Cheryl Leverett, Vice President

Volk & Bell Benefits, LLC

"Teresa was very helpful when we were drafting a new brochure for our agency. She did a great job of drafting and editing language that would communicate our culture and the scope of services to our prospective clients."
