“What can I say, BrandHardware is very much a part of the ION family. They’ve helped us define who we are, what we do, our mission, vision and values. They helped us create our corporate web presence, our marketing and our new solutions set. They’ve intertwined our new brand and business strategy into a unique value proposition that makes sense to our customers and have put on events (i.e. Going Green, Web-to-print webinar) to demonstrate how it all works together.”
In a time where it is an operational imperative for any organization to watch every penny, BrandHardware is an expenditure we will not live without. Through them we have seen remarkable improvements in customer loyalty and satisfaction, revenue, sales, brand awareness and staff retention. I would strongly encourage all our customers to engage BrandHardware. They will help realign your business process and provide you with new ideas to succeed for years to come.”
— Craig McEwen, Managing Partner — ION Print Solutions
“I’ve had the privilege to watch BrandHardware on the peripheral. I’ve seen what they can do from a strategic, creative and technical side as it pertains to marketing, brand and business strategy and am impressed. I have retained BrandHardware’s services to help propel our business forward. With the help they have already provided us, we’ve already seen improvements in new customer acquisitions and deeper penetration into some of our existing accounts.
BrandHardware is easy to work with and provides fresh, modern thinking to a “traditional” industry. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring. BrandHardware allows us to focus on what we do best, they help us to do it better and they take care of the rest. I would recommend BrandHardware without reservation.”
— Ross McEwen, President — Springboard Communication Inc.
“BrandHardware is the best at what they do plain and simple. I’ve worked with a lot of creative organizations and designers over the years, in many different high-tech organizations and none of them are as capable, creative or cost-effective as BrandHardware.
They understand that a brand for a company stems from business strategy and self-discovery. Discover who you are, what you want to accomplish and make sure your customers are receiving the same message. BrandHardware has the uncanny ability to analyze and visualize all this in their minds and just create something that is on-target, on-strategy and on-budget. That is what appeals to me and my executive colleagues.
Their approach streamlines the creative process, yet does not sacrifice any of the visual impact. They enhance the strategy I create with their own and turn it into something amazing. They understand technology and the tools that exist today to make business’ communicate and collaborate more effectively.
True to their own brand, they provide the tools to power my customers so that they can be “the best they can be.”
— Angela Hlavka, President & Chief Executive Officer — iluminari Inc.
“BrandHardware was easy to work with and took the time to understand what we were trying to achieve. They brought in a number of fresh ideas and executed them well. The final results not only showed the technical benefits of our products, but also helped our customer understand their intrinsic value.
The Virtual Tour provided our clients a real hands-on flavor of what AGS has to offer. It demonstrated our superior approach to the Pipe Support market from current providers without incurring the expense, inconvenience, or time prohibitive nature of a “physical” tour.
The final outcome of our new Pipe Support brochure and Video Virtual Tour is that both are of outstanding quality and professionalism. We have received several very positive responses to both of these tools.
The whole Brandhardware organization work well with our people and helped us demonstrate our manufacturing and design capabilities.
We can say categorically that these tools have definitely provide AGS with the lead on upcoming opportunities.
— David Hart, Vice President & Gary Tardif, Projects Director — AGS Group Inc.
"In January 2008 I had the privilege of working with BrandHardware. On behalf of their client, ION Print Solutions, I was asked to educate ION’s clients about the global environmental realities that exist today. During the event and the days leading up to it, I worked closely with BrandHardware and was able to determine several things.
First, BrandHardware is composed of a talented team of designers and business-savvy brand and marketing strategists that are concerned about their global environmental and corporate social responsibility. Second, they couple a modern, business approach with clever, creative methods to define their customers. From what I’ve seen, each is unique, each is different, but all of them are very “BrandHardware”.
In the case of ION, BrandHardware helped define the core strategy, purpose, vision and market differentiation, but not through sacrifice of the world around us. By helping ION embrace what it takes to be “environmentally sustainable," they have gained tangible results, such as increased market share and customer loyalty.
They have successfully shown that doing good can be good for business. I hope their example of concern for--and action on behalf of--the world around us, will extend across North America and beyond.

“As a young company, Pharmacross Healthcare Inc. has found the services of Bruce Lacerte and BrandHardware to be invaluable. Bruce was able to guide us through all stages of brand development; from logo and image creation to all documents and website development. BrandHardware has not only exceeded our expectations but that of our customers and partners as well. Bruce's extensive knowledge and experience was quite evident as he worked with us and brought to our attention many details we hadn't even considered. We are very grateful for his guidance and patience through this process and will definitely continue to work with Bruce in the future.”
