After we’ve informed our creative groups with pre-vetted insights and developed something truly unique. After the process is over and production is complete…there is always that period of pause where hope floats quietly and we all listen for the sound of results, assuredly speaking for themselves.

The Motion team has been an integral part of our brand refresh. We needed to communicate the level of service, innovation, and results that MOR delivers, and Motion eagerly accepted the challenge. They pushed the visual identity in an exciting new direction and evolved our brand voice to be more confident and reassuring. It’s really helped set us apart from the competition in a crowded market.

Their entire team immersed themselves in our business from the get-go, helping us clearly define and articulate the unique value we offer our customers. Their process was fantastic, and their collaborative style ensured all parties were always aligned. Motion is the kind of partner every CEO or marketing VP wants in their corner. I feel their efforts helped accelerate our success and I’d certainly recommend them to others.
