"Quite frankly, as we initiated our efforts, we went the traditional route of big "name" consultants. After experiencing delayed response (while on a retainer!) and an inadequate appreciation of our particular needs, we discovered Capitol Marketing Group. .. CMG did its homework, quickly grasped what we wanted, and created an outstanding package of ideas. In addition to the creativity and responsiveness of CMG, I find this team unusually sensitive to the nuances of a small community. Awareness of community perspectives, sensitivity to the need to build consensus, and care in dealing with a wide range of stakeholders have been hallmarks of CMG's approach ­ and critical to our success." John Mason, Mayor City of Fairfax, Virginia   "Thank you for your outstanding work. This was an extremely difficult project due to the volume of information and a tight deadline. However, CMG handled things with perfection. You met all deadlines, and the quality of your work was top-notch. Now that I know how well you work under pressure, I will assume that you can work miracles all of the time." Stephen Nikitas, Corporate Communications Specialist Data General Corporation   "Thank you and your team for the excellent job in designing the new trade show graphics and booths for American Express Travelers Cheque Group. ... Rosemary Blum did an excellent job, her professionalism and dedication to the project made working with her a pleasure." Kerrie Peterson, National Account Manager American Express   "My sales force is so thrilled to have a professional catalog... Your design ideas for the booth should really set us apart... As far as the ads go, the first week we received over 100 phone calls and my receptionist actually complained about the increased amount of phone calls, but you can be sure that my sales team did NOT!" Tim Derrickson, Senior Director AccuScan   "We were so pleased with the image ad... It's great to know we can simply call you with our new request and you'll take care of it. The other ads and direct mail pieces you've created for us have been equally impressive. The clever headlines and copy your staff produces have raised our ads to new levels. Getting the message across while maintaining a creative concept is what you do best. It was your portfolio and reasonable rates that originally drew us to your firm. But it's the excellent work you've done for us that will keep us coming back. Keep up the good work." Elizabeth Street, Communications Specialist Media General Cable   "I am excited to be working with CMG on a broad-based education program for the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Improvement Study. The $14 Million Bridge Improvement Study requires a multi-jurisdictional perspective and a community-based consensus in order to reach a successful outcome. Their contributions have been critical in the progress we have made. As a small firm they excel in being flexible and responsive to short-term project demands. Their team approach facilitates an effective translation of abstract notions and concepts into creative, elegant themes and publicity materials. Their judgment and experience contribute to a cost-effective use of our public affairs budget. They strike an acceptable balance between creativity, cost management, and taxpayers' sensitivity to public expenditures."
