What are people saying about Morris Creative Group?
We have worked with Morris Creative Group for almost 3 years now. During that time, I can say that, in round numbers, our revenues have increased at least 200% across the board. Some of our markets indicate 300% increases. This is directly attributable to the television spots that Morris Creative Group has produced for us.
SEAN DRISCOLL, President, MadisonMediaWorks
Morris has created professional, marketing materials that we’ve been proud to distribute throughout the community. The challenge was enormous, and they met it perfectly.
JERRY ASKEW, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Mission & Communications, Mercy Health Partners
Branding, image building, enhanced perception — these are all things Morris Creative Group has accomplished for our company. Best of all, it has been at a level that has far outreached our expectations. Our business is a complicated one. Being a franchisor of four separate but related brands, we have needs that include both franchise sales advertising, based here in Knoxville, as well as the direct service sales in the local area of each of our franchises across the country. Print, Internet, Direct Mail, you name it, we need and use it. Most complicated of all, we are a progressive company — we think outside the box, and at any given time we may change the direction we are moving and the message we want to put out there. In doing so, we change our mind….a lot. Morris Creative Group and the work they produce for us is the glue that holds our endeavors together. From the very beginning, they have been able to see eye to eye with our marketing staff’s challenges and our style of business. Their creative ties our multiple activities together yet offers individualized attention that each of our brands need. Best of all, they care about our company and the results we are achieving. Both in working directly with their designers as well as their local ownership. If I’m not telling them how things are working, they are asking. If something needs fixing, they fix it better than it ever was before. In the end, we are as proud of their work as they are. My direct involvement and utilization of Morris Creative Group has been in place for years. I know there are many options in regards to other design firms in the Knoxville area. To tell you the truth though, I don’t know a thing about them, because I’ve never had the slightest inclination to seek out other possible solutions for our needs. Once you’ve got the best, why waste your time looking for something better?
DOUG WERKER, Vice President of Business Development, AtWork Franchise, Inc.
From concept to creation they delivered. I asked them to do the kind of work that would win them awards, and they did. In giving me their best they allowed me to give my readers and clients the best. That’s what I call win-win.
HALLERIN HILTON HILL, Radio Talk Show Host/Author/Speaker
The City of Knoxville worked with Morris Creative Group to provide signage, wayfinding, and history exhibits from concept to design to installation for the Volunteer Landing public park. Their creativity and enthusiasm for the project resulted in a unique and beautiful end result that can now be enjoyed by Knoxvillians for generations to come.
VICTOR ASHE, Ambassador to Poland, Former Mayor, City of Knoxville
I just wanted to formally thank you for the tremendous work you have done for us over the past few years. The creativity in both the layout and copy of our advertising and brochures is outstanding even under unrealistic lead-times. Part of this success has come from the time investment you guys have made in understanding our business. That commitment is what we have come to expect from some of our other initiatives. I have very much enjoyed working with you and the entire Morris Creative Group on our most recent promotional media. All of us at Plasti-Line, Inc. sincerely appreciate what you have done and what you continue to do to improve our image and broaden our exposure.
W.E. (BUDDY) MAYO, JR., Vice President/General Manager, ImagePoint, Inc. (formerly Plasti-Line)
As a small business owner, it is critically important to work with others who understand how scarce capital and time can be and therefore making every dollar/minute count. You have had a great sensitivity to the needs of our firm. Beyond that, the creative services you’ve provided and the consultation on PR and marketing issues have been crucial to our image and decision-making. We consider Morris Creative Group to be a part of our “team.” Thanks for your commitment to helping us succeed.
WAYNE BLASIUS, AICP, President, InSite Property Associates
We are very happy with the recruiting brochure Morris Creative designed and produced for us, which never fails to produce compliments from other companies. We hope to get another recruiting year out of it and then consider the next project. Yours will be the firm we call first.
ANDREW SHELTON, Director, McKee Foods Corporation (maker of Little Debbie™ snack cakes)
From our initial meetings about what I wanted in an agency to three years later and numerous projects behind us, you’ve always kept our communication goals in mind. The construction business doesn’t allow one a lot of time for marketing and PR. Your firm has recognized that and produced first class materials and advertisements that are in line with our corporate identity. MCG made the effort to get to know what we were all about as an organization and it is reflected in the professional work you do for us.
R. FOSTER SLACK, Vice President, Creative Structures, Inc. General Contractors
Denark has been very pleased with the commitment and creative expertise that Morris Creative Group has shown in delivering quality work. At Denark, we believe in a team approach to doing business, and we appreciate that kind of relationship with your agency.
ALLAN COX, Vice President / Business Development, Denark Construction, Inc.
I want to take a minute to share with you my appreciation for the wonderful job you did in helping us [with our] project. The quality of the work is outstanding. With you guys, we now take that for granted. The one thing that I noticed and appreciated most was your attitude. It was always positive and accommodating. You took ownership in what we were doing. Nothing was too difficult; nothing was too tedious; no deadline was too short. You did an outstanding job in helping us put together the presentation. ‘Herding cats’ would be an understatement! We placed a tremendous amount of responsibility on your team and they delivered every time. It was a real pleasure to work with them. I hope you will share our appreciation with them.
J. WAYNE ROQUEMORE, President, Lawler-Wood, LLC
Morris Creative Group helped us with many different businesses, including Regas Restaurant, Riverside Tavern by Regas, Harry’s by Regas, and Regas Brothers Café. Chuck Morris is a fantastic marketer/brand promoter and business strategist. If you can get him to work with you it will be a great day for your company. Chuck is not only a knowledgeable professional but is a supportive networker/customer as well. Is marketing worthwhile? YES! That’s why all the successful organizations do it. The days of earning new business one good service delivery experience followed by another unfortunately have been passed by. By the time you earn enough customers to really profit from the base of business developed, you will be too tired to serve them.
GRADY REGAS, (former restauranteur), Partner, Quality Development, Inc.
MCG has a creative style that encourages an organization to better define its brand thinking. They have a strong desire to look at long-term goals of an organization to guide in branding and in the strongest ways to promote that organization’s brand. They understand the value of public relations and its relationship to advertising. They bring an experienced owner/manager to the table and yet can keep a package cost-effective. A client need not be concerned with Morris sneaking in costs, nor does a client need to be concerned with surprise invoices. Additionally, Chuck Morris is approachable and accessible and a good listener.
MARY LEIDIG, Chief Marketing Officer, Girl Scouts of Tanasi Council (former Marketing and Public Relations Manager, St. Mary’s Health System)
I would encourage you to definitely consider Morris. By far, they have been the easiest outside agency we have ever worked with. MCG’s team’s personality is the perfect balance of professionalism and fun. They are incredible to work with and you will be totally satisfied with the [services] they provide you with.
