Bowman Design + Direction

I worked directly with Bill Bowman on a collaborative basis for several mid-long term projects in my role as Marketing Manager at Leap Year Publishing. Together we launched the marketing strategy and positioning for a new product division at Leap Year including building the brand architecture, as well as the development of 2 e-commerce web sites. Bowman Design + Direction provided full service consultation on every aspect of our projects, and I consistently found Bill himself to be a pleasure to work with. Bill's strengths include strategy setting, market research, and web design. While I've not had the opportunity to work with Bill in my current role, I'm confident our paths will cross again in the future, and I look forward to the day. I'm proud to give the highest recommendation of Bowman Design + Direction.

I feel extremely fortunate that I selected Bowman Design to manage my on-line presence many years ago. Since the dawn of the Internet Age Bill has guided me through the branding process with concern and care. I know my business has flourished because of his foresight and expertise as I constantly receive complements on my website regarding its design and ease of navigation. I trust his judgment without reservation as he has shown again and again to always have my best interest at heart. He is a rare combination of compassion, ingenuity and integrity. Plus, he's just a damn nice guy! I highly recommend. I'm happy to answer any questions regarding my experience working with Bill. I can be reached at mbaxter@voicelesson.com

As the co-founder of a marketing agency and then of a film company, I have worked with Bill Bowman of Bowman Design + Direction for 18 years. Bill worked with me initially on Schwartz Communications as my graphics designer in print and digital media, helping to create a unique brand for Schwartz Communications--which went from start-up to leading public relations agency for emerging growth companies. We grew to more than 250 employees in four offices and three countries. Our firm was eventually sold to Publicis. Bill helped us create a very high standard of visual brand identity in both print and the digital world. Since 2004, Bill has helped our film company, Chockstone Pictures, punch through the clutter of the movie business, helping to create a distinctive logo, corporate image, look and feel and Web presence. I would recommend Bill and Bowman Design unequivocally. --Steve Schwartz, President, Chockstone Pictures

BDD helped launch my small business from its campy roots to a whole different level of visibility. With the meticulousness of a surgeon, Bill Bowman analyzed our marketing goals with vision that was above and beyond anything I could ever have imagined. He created beautiful photography, an outstanding webite, and a logo that truly captured the essence of who we were trying to be and who we were trying to attract, all with great success. He taught our business how important branding really is in order to run successfully. His work was also very helpful for us in transforming the physical stature of our business, as Bill offerred design guidance that helped connect our virtual presence (ie. website and scoial media platforms) with our physical existence in the studio.

Thank you to Bill for getting involved in a great concept for our town's small local businesses of paying it forward. He came to my business to capture images of our products and our team. Little did I know, he would then spend hours on the project - taking countless photos, trying to get the right shot, sweeping the floor (!), coming in at the crack of dawn to get a sunrise photo of our facade. The list goes on and on. He went beyond the call of duty and essentially captured the soul and spirit of our business. Truly I could not have done it myself. He is a true professional and a gentleman!
