Branding is a tricky part of a business and being a creative person with multiple projects and…read morenames and goals makes it trickier. Adele at Brandora has been a great help with this equation and has provided expert guidance and coaching and advice. It is refreshing to work with someone who's guidance I trust and who can help me get a handle on my personal and business brand. I recommend her!

I am a bit conflicted in writing this review because on the one hand Brandora is superb and does…read moreexcellent work for us, but on the other hand I want to selfishly keep them all to myself. But that's not right, so... To start with they are professional and have an excellent design team. We had them get us started with our social media, which turned into website design, which turned into photo shoots of our product, which turned into developing a catalog and brochure, which turned into a media package for Steve Harvey, which turned into a design wrap for our van, which turned into a design wrap for our tradeshow booth, and which has turned into them helping with our RFP to submit a multi-million dollar bid to the airport. So Brandora has helped us develop our business in so many ways. Their customer service is the best and Adele is very responsive. We love the excellent quality of their work which is why we return to them again and again. So even though I want to be selfish I have to say I love them and know when you have them work on a project you'll love them too. Thanks Brandora!

It was also a rush job, which made me even more anxious to find the right place. From the start, David was amazing. I provided an insignia and a special inscription, and he immediately understood my vision. His communication was clear, his professionalism outstanding, and his attention to detail remarkable. The final plaque was crafted exactly as I had imagined, beautiful, precise, and deeply personal. It was everything I hoped for and more, and it made my best friend's retirement celebration unforgettable. I am so grateful for David's skill and care. I highly recommend Alameda Advertising and Recognition, Inc. for anyone looking for quality work, creativity, and outstanding customer service.

Canary has been my go-to swag partner for years -- and for one simple reason: Gracie and Kat make…read morethe impossible happen. They've saved me at zero lead time more times than I can count and executed what can only be described as true miracles. At one event our booth pulled in 600 lead scans on day one -- versus just 20 the year before. Then, when I suddenly needed local, sustainable beanies in our brand colors, Gracie and Kat found a supplier within two hours and overnighted the additional quantities so we were ready for the morning rush. We finished the show with over 1,500 lead scans. The swag wasn't an afterthought -- it was a major part of our brand-awareness success, and we never had to turn anyone away. I use Canary for everything: customer gifts, event swag, and themed items. Sustainability is non-negotiable for me -- this industry can be wasteful, and Canary shares my values. Their recommendations are always subtle, useful, and designed to be used every day rather than tossed aside. Every deck they've sent nails that balance of creativity and practicality. And on the rare occasion (one time in ten years) when something missed the mark, they handled it with utmost professionalism in a way I'll never forget. My process is simple: I email them quantities, budget, and the event theme, and they bring the ideas to life. I consider Canary an extension of my team -- I genuinely don't know what I'd do without them as a partner.

Courtney is easy to talk to, easy to schedule with, easy to work with all around... but more than easy - he's super efficient and pleasant to talk to, as well as fantastic at what he does. He's also willing to try new things - particularly environmental impact improvements. I brought him a bucket of recently invented algae-ink with the literature and he was game to give it a go. He figured out to work with the unusual medium and what would make it work best - a quick study wielding humble expertise. He's made a huge difference in my outlook as a new business person.

We recently placed a clothing printing order and am left feeling very dissatisfied. First off the whole ordering process took forever and Tim was extremely unprofessional to work with. Even telling my office staff "that he cringed every time he saw an email from her". I complained to the manager Ken who talked to Tim later and told me he was joking. No he wasn't, but ok. He was super opinionated about the brand of clothing we wanted and seemed irritated about the brand we ended up ordering. Then we finally received our clothing. The embroidery was fine. However the screen printing was very poor quality. I have attached pictures as well. Sloppy job. When I brought this to their attention they took a while to "review" the clothing I had issues with and then ultimately came back saying that they won't do anything about it. Needless to say we won't be using their company again.
