Client Testimonials

Allieway recently created a campaign brochure and insert for us with an accompanying folder. The design and color palette were creative, bold and striking and provide a cohesive look for our campaign. Allie provided quick turnaround on our project and she and her staff were very responsive to requests and questions. Allie was thoughtful, professional and was always open to feedback. We were happy to work with her and her team.

Laura Hayden Director of Development, Forest History Society

Allieway gave us exactly what we hoped for and so much more. They created an incredible toolbox of brand assets that our team uses every day, from proposals and signage to swag and internal communications. More importantly, they challenged us to think strategically about who we wanted to be as a company and built a brand that truly reflects that vision. Because of the foundation they created, we've shifted from reactive marketing to intentionally telling our story in a way that feels authentic and makes us proud. It's been exciting to watch our brand come to life, and we're incredibly grateful for the impact Allieway has had on our business.

I would highly recommend Allieway Marketing for any marketing/graphic design project. When my team decided that we wanted to make our Annual Citizens' Financial Report more approachable and interesting for the citizens of Durham, we turned to Allieway. Presenting dense data and statistics in a compelling way is not an easy task but the Allieway team rose to the occasion. The result of Allieway's creative approach to the project was a dynamic and engaging digital document that has the look of a glossy magazine. It includes beautiful photography and layouts as well as captivating interviews and articles John Rees Sr. Treasury Analyst, City of Durham

Working with Allieway Marketing, Inc. has been a wonderful experience. They are creative, talented, detail-oriented, and client-focused. Our organization had a complicated, labor-intensive project that ultimately involved an updated logo that required approval from elected officials followed by the creation of all associated materials AND a new external brand guide website. Allieway was easy to work with and made a stressful project move smoothly to successful completion. Amy Blalock Communications Department Assistant Director, City of Durham

We are so grateful for you both. Thank you. The folder and case statement piece are PERFECT -- everything we were hoping for. I know it was a long road, but grateful to have the two of you on the journey with us. Congratulations to you both, and thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. If/when we need more design work done (which I'm sure that time will come...) we will 100% be calling. Kelly L. Taranto CFRE Vice President, Office of Institutional Advancement, Barton College

They come to the table with fresh ideas, great insight, and inspire a collaborative environment. We continue to work with Allieway on all our marketing and branding initiatives.

I would highly recommend Allieway Marketing for branded, customized and creative solutions! As president of the SMPS Research Triangle Chapter it is my responsibility to plan and run our board meetings and milestone retreats. In this pandemic time we have only been able to meet virtually. For the mid-year planning retreat in January, I wanted to do something fun for the board. I immediately thought of Allieway Marketing to help me! Allie brainstormed three potential themes for SMPS RT-branded mystery boxes. I decided on “Be the Hero” and Allie and her team took it from there – crafting custom boxes with personalized labels, delivered in a beautiful super-size gift bag and filled to overflowing with fun superhero items. Each of us received a custom tri-fold brochure with a quote about what “hero” means. To top it off, Allie’s team hand-delivered the gift bags. We opened as a team at the start of the retreat and the SpiderMan webslinger, a variety of chocolates, custom-made SMPS branded cookies, and other fun items were all well-received! Pat Perkins Research Triangle Chapter President, 2020-2021, SMPS

Allieway Marketing has provided the necessary experience, expertise, and creativity to our brand re-fresh. They took the time to understand where we've been and where we're looking to go in the future, and they more than delivered on bringing our new brand to life! We love how everything turned out, from website to branding to PR campaigns. We consider them a part of our team, and they provide all of our marketing support including execution of marketing and a social media plan. Irene, Meredith, and Allie are hard-working and fun to work with! Katherine Gianakos Co-Owner and Business Manager, Max Hugo Interior Design

We were excited to work with Allie and her team on another project, this time for our Shift program. Similar to our past experiences with the firm, the team was eager to produce quality work that allowed Shift to stand out in the eyes of Buffalo-area manufacturers. The Allieway team remains a pleasure to work with and we look forward to utilizing them again in the future! Marissa Malone Program Manager, Shift / Buffalo Manufacturing Works / EWI

It was happenstance that brought us to Allieway Marketing, but after learning of Allie and Irene’s diverse and extensive background we knew that we needed them “on our team,” and that is exactly how working with them has felt. It was evident from our very first meeting that they were great listeners and that they truly cared about our vision for our business. They presented us with an approach that both captured exactly what we needed most (help with PR) and fit within our small-business sized budget. Since working with Irene and Allieway Marketing,Inc. we have been published in several publications, received a couple local business recognition awards and were invited to participate in a Durham-based event that showcased one of our services. After years of trying to break through the media iron-curtain – they’ve made it happen! We will add that they are also just really great people, good communicators, fun and a joy to work with! Jessica M. Bottesch & Ronda Williams Owners, Empower Personalized Fitness

We first worked with Allieway Marketing on a small project about three years ago and we never forgot how responsive and creative they were, so when it came time for a complete rebrand, we knew exactly who we wanted to use! Allie’s team worked so well with us, it’s like they were an extension of our staff. We were once again impressed with how they listened to our needs, navigated our complex structure and offerings, and transformed our image into a beautiful and vibrant brand that tells our story! I’m excited to say we’ve already started on our next project with Allie. Maureen E. Wheeler Deputy Director, Livingston County Economic Development

Allieway provided several services for our firm, specifically in regards to our brand image and marketing materials. While the quality of their work is clear to see in the final product, it was the way they tackled this project that impressed us the most. The company’s dedication to staying ahead of deadlines, responding to feedback, and presenting everything in an organized matter made it easy to work with them.” Darin McClure, P.E., RSM, President, Principal Engineer Mid Atlantic Associates Gretchen Saussy Director of Business Development Mid Atlantic Associates

As we were searching for a firm to conduct a brand and RFP audit, the team at Allieway won us over from the start.

It was a delight to work with their staff! Charles Wilson CEO Taylor Butler Director of Business Development Emily Herndon Marketing Director CT Wilson Construction

Allieway Marketing has a true talent for creating branding strategies and working with community stakeholders. For Oswego, the Allieway team developed a brand and strategy that was authentic to our city and spoke to our target audiences. Everything they developed for Oswego reflected Allieway’s deep understanding of our community and was creatively conceptualized to be carried throughout many marketing opportunities in the community. We are thrilled with the final product! William Barlow Jr. City of Oswego, Mayor

would highly recommend Allieway Marketing for any marketing/communications project. It was easy to see, just by the depth of their initial response to the city’s proposal that they place a high priority on gaining an understanding of the project through research and then carrying out each phase in a timely and cost-effective manner. Oftentimes, the biggest predictor of project success is communications between the contractor and the client. Allieway is stellar at ensuring that there is a clear understanding of project objectives at every step. Finally, Allie pushes, seeking approvals, etc., to stay on schedule so that the project is completed in an agreed upon schedule. While finishing the project on time and on budget are of utmost importance, Allieway factors in one more important factor, and that’s FUN.

Allie and her team have gone above and beyond to ensure that all of the marketing materials created for the City of Rome represent our community and showcase what we have to offer. The entire campaign represented our brand seamlessly on all aspects with a sleek and stylish design. As in most instances, communication is key, and the Allieway team understands and supports this by always being there when I had any questions or comments. Makenzi L. Enos City of Rome, N.Y.
