Advertising and Marketing

Scott Striglos, President
Striglos Companies, Inc.


Historically, our company has been hesitant to engage an outside marketing firm since previous experience with such companies had led to unfulfilled expectations. However, when one of our largest customers dropped a requirement on us that needed to be developed and was beyond our capacity to fulfill in a timely fashion, we enlisted the help of DCC Marketing Group.

In a nutshell, their performance far exceeded our expectations. We basically dumped a wheelbarrow of unfinished projects on DCC and they were able to prioritize them and articulate our company’s branding strategy and core values by transferring these fragmented projects into outstanding rhetoric and graphics to completion, with very little fine-tuning necessary from us. Their marketing suggestions have been on target, and their response time makes us feel like we’re their only customers; all of this has been delivered at what we consider a genuine value.

DCC Marketing Group has received our business the old-fashioned way, by working hard and giving us outstanding value for their efforts. They are able to take a rough concept and follow it through to fruition. I always look forward to their fresh thoughts.

DCC Marketing Group has been serving our marketing needs since January 2001. They have provided a complete marketing plan including marketing campaign, creative design, placement and media interactions as well as results analysis.

The personnel from DCC have been very responsive. They have been a pleasure to deal with. Their design concepts really caught the unique message that Isringhausen Imports needed to communicate.

DCC has been a real asset to our company. They possess a comprehensive knowledge of the marketing industry.

Sincerely,
Geoff Isringhausen

To Whom It May Concern:

We have used DCC Marketing to assist us with a wide range of projects for more than two years and have found their work to be excellent. We can comfortably recommend DCC Marketing to other organizations.

Most of the work over the time we have used DCC Marketing has been to supplement our internal resources and provide skills and knowledge for which we cannot reasonably and efficiently staff internally. We recently, however, have engaged DCC Marketing to help us with a large, short timeline project. Their response has been tremendous – exceeding all our expectations – and the work product clearly outstanding. This project required the utilization and testing of most of DCC Marketing’s skills and they all proved to be excellent – design, market analysis, copywriting, video production, etc. The DCC team is bright, learns quickly in a subject area totally new to them, and is willing to do what it takes to get a job done – and they do it all with good humor.

The leadership team at DCC Marketing is strong and works well together. Kara Demirjian and Katherine Smith bring complementary skills to the work. Each can fill in for the other when necessary and the client doesn’t lose a thing in the process. They are very active in a wide variety of community matters and Kara has been heavily involved with economic development in the Decatur area for many years.

Please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss our use of DCC Marketing.

Sincerely,
J. Patrick Mohan
