“Our magazine, Vitae, has become an important symbol of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The publication’s name, Latin for ‘lives’, encompasses the objective of the magazine as it describes the endeavors of the impressive and dedicated people who make up the UMass Medical School community — faculty, students, researchers and supporters. Just as important, the image of Vitae across the top of the publication is strong and vital. It is bold and directed. It is an important branding element that achieves our goal to describe an institution characterized by growth, vitality and innovation. Monderer Design has created a name and image that serves as an effective branding device. This is best revealed when a member of the UMass Medical School community refers to the publication not simply as that magazine, but as Vitae. Readers recognize Vitae, and those individuals covered in its pages want to be part of it because of that recognition. I would recommend Monderer Design to any company, organization or institution hoping to raise awareness of its products, programs and services.”

“As a 150-year-old cranberry company entering the real estate development market, the A.D. Makepeace Company represented an unusual design challenge: acknowledge the company’s history without seeming stodgy. Monderer Design created a web site for us which met the conflicting design challenges of newfangled functionality with old-fashioned vibe.”

“I have come to appreciate the fact that you really understand higher education customers. This has often been an uphill battle in working with other vendors. I really do appreciate that you understand the complexities of the messaging and design concerns when designing for higher education customers.

I have worked in corporate before, and higher ed is different, and you really get that. I think the way that you work with higher-ed clients is truly rare. If you ever need a reference for another higher-ed client, or any client for that matter, I would be happy to help. You have done outstanding work for us in the past, and I hope to work with you again in the future.”

“I have worked with Stewart and designers at his firm while at several companies. I fully endorse Monderer Design. In addition to great design, I have appreciated the dedication and commitment they have to getting the job done right. I have pulled this firm into rush situations, critical projects, and more and they always deliver.”

“Feedback from SolidWorks World has been exceptional. Everyone was very pleased with the collateral and design of the pieces. I have not heard 1 negative comment. Thanks so much for all your extraordinary hard work on this. I hope we will be working together on other projects.”

“As we sought to evolve the Lightbridge brand to mirror the growth of our business, we needed to create a new design architecture that reinforced our messaging in a compelling way. Through our interview process with several design firms, Monderer Design most impressed us with their corporate branding talent and experience. Monderer was able to synthesize the various underlying elements and audiences that needed to be represented in an extremely powerful and flexible way.”

“I was introduced to Monderer Design in 2005, and have been delighted with their strategic approach, creativity, expertise and attentiveness. Stewart Monderer and his team of talented designers worked collaboratively with us to bring a fresh vision to the College’s admission/viewbook brochures, bringing our marketing messages alive and making them readily accessible to the reader. In addition to design, they art directed photography, worked closely with our writers and internal creative talent, and made sure our brochures printed superbly…all within budget. Monderer Design eclipsed the conventional approach and created three beautiful brochures for Northeastern University’s College of Business Administration. The results of their work have been dramatic and long-lasting.

I would recommend Monderer Design to any educational institution or corporate entity that needs a thoughtful, honest, creative and dedicated design firm that will work closely with then to achieve design and branding excellence.”

“For what it’s worth, I think Stewart is one of the best in the business. We worked with him at my former firm (he designed and produced our identity kit) and I found him to be creative, responsive and professional. He’s a heck of a nice guy as well!”

“You guys are really impressive. We sent out an email to all employees with the PDF of the cards. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Thanks so much for making this happen with such short notice. I remain a big fan of Monderer Design and hope we can continue the partnership. BTW, we just got the final results back from our leadership postcard campaign and it was a major success. Thanks again for playing such a big part and being such a good partner.”

“Monderer Design has provided design solutions that have increased Connected’s opportunity for awareness and response. A direct marketing campaign they designed was key to exceeding our response goals by 14%. I have been impressed with their knowledge of corporate branding, their creativity, personal attention and attention to detail, all without losing sight of our audience.”

“I think your work is great — your designs still permeate Ember’s marketing materials and you have created a lasting image for Ember that I’m proud of. My experience of Monderer is a responsive, inspired company that provides good value, and I’d be happy to recommend them to any company.”

“In my capacity as Senior Manager, Creative Services, at Progress Software, I have been outsourcing projects to Monderer Design regularly since 2007. I manage my own internal team of designers, but because of heavy workflow I often find myself needing to farm out various projects to trusted external design firms. Monderer is on my short list. I have hired them to help with a variety of projects: HTML email campaigns, Tradeshow booths, Banner ads and Print. Collateral from acquired companies that needed to be rebranded with a Progress look and feel.

In all cases, I have been extremely impressed by their responsiveness, their understanding of our sometimes hard-to-navigate corporate branding guidelines, and their ability to think outside the box. I’m constantly delighted to see how their team can deliver more than I expected — in terms of both quantity (more options than I requested) or quality (pushing designs with inventive, elegant solutions that I might never have considered). What’s especially impressive is that most of our interactions have been via email or phone rather than in person; they ‘get it’ on the first interaction.”

“Regarding Monderer Design, I would recommend them without hesitation. They are creative, diligent, and responsive and understand the urgency to the work and always deliver a clean well-articulated product. I can tell you without a doubt that having them on the payroll literally gave me one last thing to worry about. I knew things would always be done right, on time and within budget. Stewart has assembled a first class team that is dedicated and always willing to go the extra mile and most importantly so knowledgeable that you don’t have to spend endless cycles explaining what you want and how to craft your vision.”
