“I really enjoyed working with Hallie and the COMMIT team. It was amazing how they cracked my case and guided me through the process. They created such a great brand and I am really happy with the results!”

Founding Director, The Aspen Institute
Youth Employment & Social Change

“COMMIT worked with us to develop a name and brand for a new global youth employment initiative. It was very important to us that we include the perspective—and ultimately the buy-in—of a diverse group of initiative partners and develop a solution that works across multiple countries, languages, and cultures.

Hallie and Evan were flexible and patient in managing a complex design process while guiding us to a final decision. They are great listeners and crafted a vibrant visual identity that is globally consistent while providing flexibility to meet the needs of our community partners located around the world. It was a true pleasure to work with the COMMIT team."

Corporate Governance Leader, NACD Certified Director

“I worked with COMMIT to begin building my Board of Director profile and plan to position myself for future board work. It was an amazing experience in all regards. What I found most impressive was how fast they operated. We got done in one day and one prep conference call what was a couple of weeks of work. COMMIT team members are amazing listeners and helpful guides through the personal branding process, and also just lovely people. This was a most fun, inspirational, and tactical journey to position me for the future. I recommend them highly.”

“Partnering with Commit felt like an immediate expansion of my team, not only in numbers but in vision, perspective and creative energy. Commit struck a balance between carefully listening to our needs and goals and boldly challenging us to interrogate them. The result was a distinctive product that we’re immensely proud of.”

“COMMIT is a one stop shop for branding, design, content creation, and copywriting. Their approach of focusing on projects during short but intensive ‘sprints’ allowed us to complete what could have been a months-long website in a matter of weeks, with outstanding results.

We were so happy with their work and process that we’ve continued to partner on new projects including email templates, lead generation campaigns, and marketing collateral. They were a pleasure to work with, professional, and incredibly knowledgable. As a lean non-profit with limited resources, COMMIT offered a perfect solution for bringing additional; expertise and capacity to our team.”

“Commit is worth your investment! Every ounce of effort put into working with their team has come back to our business ten times around. Sure you could try doing some the work they do yourself, but why? They are better at it than you are and the ROI has been proof enough for me!”

“The COMMIT team is among the very best – top 3% - among those I have known and/or hired in a long career and exposure to hundreds of firms. They combine intellectual breadth and first-rate conceptual agility with hard work, thorough follow-up, and remarkable focus on detail. They bring drive and passion to the tasks at hand.

They can work on the path-breaking, innovative side of the task; and they are equally at home on the nuts-and-bolts side, hammering the practical elements into place. To put it simply: they bring both imagination and discipline to the undertaking at hand. Most organizations can bring one or the other; very few organizations or teams bring both.

The COMMIT team is strict in their honesty and frankness, and unlike many firms they do not in any way manipulate the schedule or the phases of work to drive up the cost. It is a huge advantage to have working on your agenda a team that is as gifted, as driven, and as trustworthy as they are.”

“There’s that very crucial moment of having an idea where it either gets to enter into the world or retract back into the imagination. Sometimes ideas are that fragile, and it took partnering with COMMIT, or as I like to call them—the website doulas—to breathe life into everything that I was envisioning. I give thanks for Evan and Maya for aligning with my vision, for asking me the perfect questions, for having me dig deeper, for being willing to be moved by the future that I held in my heart, and then for bringing that all forth online.

I was in the beginning stages of my work and COMMIT helped me to move seamlessly through spaces that I could not have traversed on my own. They create beautiful work! Working with them was inspiring, was the experience of ease and flow, and was a complete joy. I continue to be blown away by their work and the level to which they translated my passion to an online presence.”

“There was life before Commit and life after. Commit is a true partner in our crazy, swimming upstream, changing-the-world endeavor.

For each job there has been something we absolutely need, i.e., a “minimum viable outcome” from the work, as well as a more aspirational piece, i.e. “it would be great if…” Every time we work with Commit we come out with both. They deeply understand your strategy and how to improve it, and bring seriously valuable industry skills and a sixth sense for what something needs to visually look like. Their mock ups nail it so fast that you’re like, “Oh my god. That’s it!” And the world is forever different, having changed from before to after.”

Board Director
Retired Partner, EY

“COMMIT worked with me as I retired as a strategy consulting partner at Ernst & Young. My goal was to serve as a director on a for-profit board. COMMIT worked with me in a one-day session where we clarified my strategy to target boards and approach them. In particular, we clarified my interest in companies that are in transition, and articulated my specific skills relevant to being a board member. COMMIT also was fantastic in developing the tactical elements I needed, including photography, a LinkedIn update, a concise "elevator pitch" for prospective boards, and a specific action plan. The results are positive: I've started accessing and interviewing for board slots, and am already in active discussions with two boards. Thanks, COMMIT!”

Founder, Vonetta Young Advisors
Investment Readiness & Fund Formation

“I was excited about what I could offer my clients in my budding advisory business, but was frustrated that I was still struggling with how to articulate my value. The COMMIT team was a godsend! They created a brand that authentically expresses my values, and most importantly, they helped shape my offerings and messaging in a way that made me feel instantly more confident; so much so, my client pointed it out in our next meeting. I am so thrilled that I made this investment! I am eternally grateful to COMMIT for actualizing my vision and empowering me to be the trailblazer I'm meant to be.”

“COMMIT goes above and beyond when creating a brand. Hallie and Evan helped me figure out exactly what I was offering, how to best position myself to my audience, and then did the heavy lifting of bringing my brand assets together. They were supportive, patient, and visionary— everything I needed to launch my consultancy. I would recommend them to any new solopreneur or startup navigating their launch into the world.”

Founder, Súper
Peruvian Food Startup

“My experience working with the COMMIT team was productive and eye opening. They fully understood the idea from the very beginning and transformed my vision into an amazing brand. The design process was well structured, and their experience and global insights were a big plus to create a champion strategy for me (they even knew my country, Peru!)

I am very happy with the results, especially now that the strategy is generating results. I am confident that I have solid ground to keep moving forward. Thank you Commit!”

Founder, In the Beginning
StartUp Content Creation

“The COMMIT team helped me to clarify my business messaging, offerings, and create a killer website that both garners attention and conveys a high level of professionalism. Their team was instrumental in giving my business a much-needed push and I have absolutely seen an increase in my work as a result of their website design and copywriting services.

Perhaps the best part of working with Hallie and her team was their enthusiasm and total focus on helping me take the steps needed to succeed. Thanks, COMMIT!”

“We would recommend this team to any company that needs a strong strategic partner to help them deliver a creative and highly tailored product for their respective business.”

Founder and Director, Reach Within
Nonprofit, Childhood Development

“When I signed up with COMMIT to create a new brand for my nonprofit, Reach Within, I thought we would focus primarily on the look and feel of our website and graphics. I was wrong! Also, I was hesitant to spend money on something that I thought our own staff could figure out but again I was so wrong! I engaged with COMMIT’s team of Hallie, Evan, and Maya and embarked on an intensive and immersive journey into the history of our work, the intention of our work, our successes and failures, our vision for the future, our dreams, our frustrations, our community, our driving forces… in short, every element of the organization. I was amazed at how quickly the team was able to capture everything I relayed to them- in words and in graphics. Everything was consolidated and presented in a beautiful and seamless manner and every cent spent on their talent has paid dividends for Reach Within. COMMIT is a little band of geniuses!”

“COMMIT is expert at visioning, branding, communications, and building the story and confidence to ask for—and get—what you need.”

Founder, Better Schools
Education Advising

“I’ve worked with many groups on projects in my four decades of education. However, I have never seen such intense focus in my life. The Commit Team laid out deliverables that would be accomplished in two meetings and one week. They exceeded every promise they made by following three tenets. They never talk without acting, they do the objective in front of them right now, and they embrace imperfection. What they seek to provide is excellence, not perfection. And they deliver that with an elegance I have yet to see elsewhere.”
