Chris presented a workshop on Defining and Speaking to your Ideal Client. Lots of great ideas and how to distill the clients you want down to the specifics. Chris shows that branding goes far beyond the logo.

We're making changes to our business name and brand, and hired Chris Simon at Hotspot Creative Solutions to guide us through the transition. Chris listened to our mission, vision, and values, and created 3 logos with descriptions of how each represented our brand. After choosing our logo, Chris guided us on what should be included on our business cards and letterhead, and sent us examples of each.
Once we made our final decision, Chris presented a package with everything we need for our branding. Chris' patience, creativity and descriptive designs made working with him a pleasure, and would be

Over the last few years Chris and his team have assisted me with many different brand kits, graphic design, web design, print, media, etc. On all fronts he has been able to conceptualize all the ideas and execute without issue. Highly recommend giving Chris a shout for any design work - even if it's just to bounce some ideas off of someone with a creative mindset.
