Robert Holmes
Managing Partner, THG LLCAs a developer, we used envisioning sessions to craft our story and launch marketing and pre-sales efforts. These sessions spanned several days and were rather expensive. Then I discovered Chuck Pettis and went through several of his Branding Workshops. I cannot say enough about the process and results. Chuck's hands-on approach in the workshop and the fact that after one day you have a Brand Map, alignment with participants, key messages, and target markets nailed is not only impressive but effective. Chuck's a winner and his brand work is second to none.

Chuck gave us unprecedented clarity and direction for our organization.
