“Every firm wants to know what their clients think. Marketivity helps us take our clients’ pulse about the marketplace, our services, and our relationships. I particularly appreciate Michelle’s ability to translate data into usable information for our leadership and our firm members.“

“Marketivity has been a trusted advisor as we navigated the A/E/C waters with our firm since 1999. With a high-quality Customer Satisfaction Survey initially, we were able to reinforce our strengths and implement changes to remove challenges, all as seen by our clients. We have since worked successfully with Marketivity on other strategic planning assignments, all well-done, with care and thoughtful responses. We highly recommend Marketivity.”

“Michelle is always the first person I think of when I need senior-level insight, in-depth knowledge of markets or strategic marketing. She excels at seeing the opportunities and potential hurdles in a given situation; she is pragmatic and realistic yet inspirational. Michelle has a brilliant strategic mind.”

“Marketivity played an integral role in the development of Dunham’s Strategic Plan. Michelle and Katy developed a creative and engaging survey which led to compelling insights. We were able to use their research to help define industry trends and gain useful feedback on our firm’s performance. We enjoyed the process and they both were a pleasure to work with.”

“Katy and Michelle were a delight to work with on our client survey. They effectively facilitated the whole client engagement process, including designing the survey questions, interviewing our clients, recording the responses and synthesizing the results with go-forward recommendations. Their knowledge of the A/E industry allowed them to reach beyond superficial observations and explore substantive issues of critical importance to SMRT. We would definitely hire them again.”

“Since that first research assignment almost 15 years ago, Michelle and her firm have been my go-to resource as a consultant and teaming partner for market research, image assessments, strategic planning, major pursuit leadership and marketing training. I recommend Michelle and Marketivity without reservation. And I have never been disappointed.”

“We’ve used Marketivity for multiple assignments over the years and I highly recommend them. Michelle has provided in-house training on multiple topics as well as helped me develop a multi-session BD Program that I use often to train our new staff. Michelle’s and Marketivity’s services have provided great value to PSOMAS’s client development and project pursuit program.”

“Katy is one of the rare consultants who excels as both a strategist and implementation pro. Her experience advising firms of all size and types, combined with her years in-house on the front lines of marketing, business development, and client relations, translate to a deep understanding of client relationships and the business success positive relationships create. In all her professional roles, Katy demonstrates a fearless commitment to excellence, candor, and integrity. She is an inspiration to everyone she works with, and I am honored to count myself in this fortunate group!”

“I have found that Michelle and the entire Marketivity team are first-class communicators. Since their work focuses on studying the subjective and abstract, this is perhaps the key to their success. I have been so impressed with Marketivity’s commitment to and quality of communication that I have used them as an example for my own client leaders to learn from.”

“We know that honest and objective client feedback is critical to our success. We also know that it is also very difficult to come by. Marketivity’s experience and focus in the A/E/C industry gives them the ability to get the heart of our clients’ concerns. By working with Marketivity, we have insight into our clients opinions and concerns that allow us to improve and tailor our services to be the best possible partner.”

“I am extremely pleased that we invested in hiring professionals to conduct our market research and client survey. I believe we got our money’s worth. Marketivity was very thorough, efficient and, as an independent company, we believe they returned better results than we would have gotten in-house.”
