“The Alliance engaged CS-Effect to assess infrastructure and approach in preparation for launching an unprecedented communications strategy. We liked their assessment so much we asked them to help us build the strategy! The team’s excellent listening skills, careful use of resources, mastery of political quagmires, and unfailing optimism have taken the Alliance forward by leaps and bounds in the course of a single year. From the concrete--a newly renovated and modernized website--to the ephemeral--a brand identity and message--their work consistently reflects their dedication to quality and the best interests of the client. The Alliance looks forward to continuing to engage its members, share its resources, and build its brand with the help of CS-Effect.”

"[CS-Effect] has been a tremendous help to us over the past several years in The Molecularium Project as we worked together to get the word out to the public, especially teachers and home schoolers, about the great value of science-based entertainment to enable young people to learn about the world around them. It was a valuable and supportive partnership."

The PLIT is a strong, robust member-benefit program, and they helped deliver our new brand promise of ‘protecting you through it all’ to veterinarians and veterinary students across the nation.”
