The folks at Blue Marble are thoughtful and intelligent, as well as creative. Many times, when working with a creative team, they focus on their lofty designs, not the goals of the client. Blue Marble, rather, creates designs after careful considerations of our needs and goals. In addition, when I send revisions, they actually think them through, not just taking my directions verbatim. This is incredibly valuable to me and it helps to create a team effort that I have not encountered with other graphics companies.

Is the public face of your values-based business reflecting your inner vision?

As an organization devoted to social and environmental issues, you want to ensure that how you communicate to the world reflects your values, purpose, and vision.

If you are in an industry such as natural resource management, alternative health, non-traditional education or sustainable tourism, you need to communicate a complex message in a way that is immediately understood and appreciated.

When it comes to communicating effectively, we've learned that businesses and organizations like yours have particular challenges in getting the word out.

• Their work is centered on complex and unfamiliar issues and their services are not always easy to understand. It's a longer (and often frustrating) process of communication, education and buy-in.
• They need to appeal to diverse audiences that may include many types of constituents— members, policymakers, funders, and end-consumers.
• Their commitment to do good work almost always exceeds their ability to communicate about this work with professionalism, authenticity, and impact. They are, understandably, often just too busy and involved in their work to step back and communicate its true value.

If this sounds familiar then we can help you...

• Find clarity with your message and visual identity. With clarity comes greater confidence, pride and forward momentum. It's all about getting unstuck, defining purpose and audience and then getting the right communication tools in hand to do the job.
• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of marketing and communications efforts with materials that reflect your mission and value while stimulating the desired responses from your ideal customers and clients.
• Dramatically impact the success of your business. The key is improved strategic positioning in the social and environmentally-conscious marketplace with well-crafted messaging and visuals to support it.
