Kind Words From Our Clients
“After seven years, our company was in need of a brand refresh. Clay took us through a well devised step-by-step process that enabled us to reposition our company within the marketplace. Clay’s insights throughout the project were invaluable and his level of commitment was something we have rarely experienced with external agencies. I cannot recommend Map & Fire highly enough.”
Kenny Dunn“Every time I speak to Clay, I gain clarity and confidence. Clay has the unique ability of being able to see both the forest and the trees. In working on high level strategy, Map & Fire helped me find a clear path to move my business forward and iron out details blocking our progress.”
Kim Cavallo“Map & Fire helped my company find the focus that it’s been missing for years. Our messaging makes more sense, the new onboarding process is simpler, and we’re finally targeting customers that are more likely to stick with our product. If you’re looking for a technical, thoughtful, brand and marketing expert, Clay is among the best.”
Louis DeMenthon“We needed a new strategy and were immediately blown away by the level of research and insight Map & Fire brought to the table. They are incredibly thorough and skilled in the space at a level I haven’t found at the smallest or largest agencies out there. They are now my go to shop.”
Kendra Campbell-Milburn“Map & Fire gave us actionable ideas to guide our thinking and solidify our brand. We now have a beautiful website with clear messaging around a complex topic: intellectual property in the new economy. We couldn’t be happier!”
Mayra Lombera“Throughout an intensive content audit and digital overhaul, Map & Fire offered inexhaustible insight and consistent follow through. Their equanimity, good humor, and clarity—all of which rested on an extremely solid foundation of expertise—was invaluable during a pivotal period.”
Lauren Daisley“I am consistently amazed at the level of value Map & Fire delivers to our creative process. Every conversation seems to inspire new ideas that refine our content, brand, and messaging in subtle, yet sophisticated ways.”
Jeff Delaney“Clay guides you step-by-step to help organize your fuzzy thoughts in a very structured way. Through Map & Fire he provides an effective methodology to make communication with prospective clients clear and compelling.”
Pilar Zárate“Map & Fire is my go-to resource for consumer-driven strategy that gets results. Clay has built a seamless process to hack a deep and thorough understanding of your ideal customer. The strategy and tactics he develops always follow this customer first approach. The way it should be done!”
Justin Thomas“Map & Fire helped us spin off a new company, refocused our core mission, and became our goto source for guidance on both strategy and digital marketing. Constantly coming up with fresh ideas, and fearless in challenging conventional thinking, we now think of Map & Fire as a valuable extension of our team.”
Stu Pollard“Map & Fire’s expert guidance, insightful recommendations and customized strategies allowed me to fine-tune my vision, clarify my brand, and ultimately build my target audience.”
Lori LoCicero“The fact that they actually care and are invested in what we’re doing. That’s my favorite thing. Otherwise we could work with anybody.”
