"We enjoyed working with Marita. She gave us good creative ideas which have taken our
proposition forward by a significant extent"
Mark D. Mayhew - Chief Executive Debrett's Limited
We have been most fortunate in being introduced to Marita. We had a key new publication
and were really struggling to find a creative concept for the cover (so very important in
creating stand-out and immediacy). We approached Marita with a brief at short notice;
her probing approach and desire for context meant she was able to "get on" very quickly.
I would say she scores highly on the two critical requirements: the outputs themselves
AND the process to get there. She was always available, met key time based milestones,
"listened" to our perspectives (and pushed back when we were "wrong"!)..yet stuck
to her guns on the things she believed in.
We are very happy with the results. We hit our production deadline and at a sensible
cost. There is no question over using her again; it would be great.
Aziz Cami MD - The Partners Design Consultancy
"Working with Marita is always an enjoyable experience. She is a very professional and highly creative individual who always challenges the conventional approach and comes up with innovative solutions which are both appropriate and exciting."
Roger Vicarage - Consultant - e.g.sheppardmoscow
"When I first saw the quality of Marita's designs I was astounded by their elegance and their artistry. Each work of art seemed to capture the essence of the business it represented. At the same time I wondered whether she could create imagery that worked for the intangible services of a consultancy organisation where it is sometimes hard to articulate the benefit we bring to our clients. We particularly wanted an identity which would represent the relational way we work with our clients. I need not haveworried. One of the options she created has enabled us to explain more clearly what we offer, why that benefits our clients and how it differentiates us from our competitors. When we presented the option to a group of strong minded partners in the business it received a unanimous endorsement. Since then Marita has been the voice of the brand ensuring it remains constantly adhered to by us and understood by our clients."

There were a number of things that I valued about working with you
and here are the highlights:
the way you got me to really focus and be clear about what I did.
You took time to understand this, asked some insightful and thought provoking
questions around this which really got me thinking. I felt like I was being coached,
and I liked it.
The result of this is that I was able to really crystallise my offering.
What this means is that I feel much more confident and crisper in articulating
this to others. This alone has helped me to develop my business in many ways.
You listened well, shaped up ideas and presented me with options which again
I appreciated. I also found that you weren't precious with these and willing to listen
again and to flex things accordingly.
I am really pleased with the design of my logo and business card. The investment
paid off. I have something I am really pleased with and something that I think accurately
reflects me and what I do. I have had lots of positive comments from others about
the design.
Lastly and by no means least, I have valued your patience!
Lorna Hunte - Jackson Kreative Solutions
"I'm a clear thinking business women, who thought that I knew exactly what I wanted -
Marita created something striking, something that summed up what my company represented.
An NLP coach asked me who designed it and told me to pass on how excellent it was
- how powerful is that?"
Anne Rigg - Derived Knowledge - Strategic Planning Consultancy
"The mark of a good re-branding is loads of spontaneous positive response from the
existing and target customers. That's exactly what we got with Marita's re-branding
of Derived Knowledge in 2004 and we are still getting that response three years on.
Working with Marita is hassle free and added value - one briefing results in 2 or 3
brilliant ideas plus suggestions for how they can be used to make marketing initiatives
more effective. The only difficulty is deciding which of her great ideas to choose.
Marita came recommended to us and we in turn have recommended her to others".
Simon Pell - Chairman & Creative Director - Pell & Bales
"Since 1997, I have had the pleasure of working with Marita Lashko on a wide range of design projects. These include handling design work for many of our clients, developing a new corporate house style and designing highly successful marketing materials which have generated new business for my company.
We received an exceptional response to our marketing campaign. Lead generation from cold mail was an astonishing 15% whilst our advertising campaign provided us with over 40 high quality leads.
With regards to branding, we feel that awareness of our company, and our positioning as an intelligent, creative, independent agency has been greatly enhanced.
We also won 8 new clients as a result. I would recommend Marita for the originality freshness and clarity of her design, for her project management skills and for the exceptional quality of the work she has produced for us over the past years."
Ruth George - Ullander Schove
"Refreshingly clear and direct a passion for what she does and a passion the best for whoever she is working with. Lots of energy, originality and the odd surprising subtle twist. Don’t ask this woman to work with you if you already know the answer ‘cos she’ll have a better one"
