Customer testimonials

Richard Brooks, Client Executive for Dell Technologies

“I have had great success using this illustration with Executive leadership at both CVSH and Dell Technologies to evangelize our strategy. This simplified vision map that has been so thoughtfully designed, has received high praise from the customer at all levels. We use the illustration as the lead slide with all of the Dell Technologies strategically aligned business units: Account Planning, customer facing presentations and Internal leadership meeting.”

Mike Spillers, Global Strategic Account Marketing Manager

“The remarkable skills of the VisuaI Ink team of illustrators allows us to vividly show the breadth of Dell Technologies’ offerings across a broad set of business units within each highly-complex account. From ‘We didn’t realize Dell does that for us!’ to giving the entire IT organization an instantly digestible roadmap of where our products and services maximize value, the benefits of having this often real-time feature at EBC’s and executive meetings is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’, but indeed a mandatory element for accounts who want the highest visibility into their customers environment.

Pete Trizzino, SVP, Dell Technologies Select

“Visual Ink has been an incredible partner for us and have helped shape the vision of many of our customer transformations
.”

Steve King, WW VP, Technology Services Sales of Hexagon

“The creative experts at VI helped us visually capture and articulate the  ‘what’ and ‘technology how’ behind our customer support experience messaging which now enables our entire organization to better position and sell this differentiated value to our customers.”

Rebecca Lawson, VP Marketing for OSIsoft

“Visual Ink delivers incredible value. They are what a creative agency should be - smart, fun, precise, and compelling with their solutions.”

David Park, Start Up Technologist

“Simply the most talented firm out there doing this kind of work. Then again I'm biased, happy client who appreciates the incredible transformational (long-lasting) value your work delivers. Insane ROI and really keeps on going/giving even more than the Energizer Bunny.”
