TESTIMONIALS
“The work of Substance is simply first-rate. After getting to know our organization and collective cause, they produced a visually-engaging campaign for our AIDS Run & Walk Chicago event which has helped set it apart from other 5K charity fundraisers. They have an uncanny ability to bring nascent ideas to life and to think strategically about the pros and cons of any given creative direction.”
–– Johnathon Briggs,
AIDS Foundation of Chicago
“Substance grasped our design needs immediately and gave us a fresh, innovative way to present our message. They are always responsive and flexible – no matter what changes come during the work process. Their creativity and originality have been impressive, and we’re looking forward to working with them for years to come. ”
–– Maggie Berndt, Illinois Humanities Council
“Substance was diligent in understanding our business and our needs, innovative in translating that understanding into design, copy and technical solutions, and patient with a schedule that was often pre-empted by our other business activities. Their philosophy from the start was always “getting it right”, not just “getting it done”. They helped us do both”
–– Jill Tarby, Project Management Advisors
