What our clients are saying.

Janice Merlino, Merlino Media Group

“It was overall design, the ease of working with Gumball Dynasty, and adherence to a clearly outlined timeline. All expectations were met and then some. Way easier to work with you guys versus the folks we’ve worked with in the past. We’ve worked at big agencies prior to launching MMG, and Gumball Dynasty delivered top notch work without 50,000 meetings, fees and BS.”

Margie Medd, IX Communities

"I’ve been very impressed with the responsiveness and collaboration. Gumball Dynasty gave us the opportunity to outsource numerous creative needs including all of our logo development, how people see the brand. It’s like having an internal team without having to staff for one."

We asked our team members: At which brands did you make an impact?

Brand Strategy

Chelsea Webber

Vashon/Seattle, WA

BECU: As strategic lead on the BECU account at DNA, I designed and executed a massive, multi-methodology research plan that informed the creative brief that inspired the award winning Power in People campaign.

Catalina Marketing: If you work in CPG or grocery, you're likely familiar with Catalina Marketing. As strategic lead, I helped develop the campaign and brand refresh that transformed Catalina brand's reputation from that of a behind-the-times legacy brand to again being considered an innovative, category defining powerhouse of data and insights.

AAA WA Travel Services: Developed and executed a multi-methodology research plan to help AAA WA better understand the strengths and opportunities in their travel agency offering and the trends in the category overall. This work is currently informing development of organizational priorities and their brand identity.

Creative Direction, Copywriting

Mark Haven
Atlanta, GA

Delta Air Lines: Digital Film | Concept/Creative Direction. To capitalize on Delta’s legacy in Cuba we partnered with an award winning documentary filmmaker to find one of the last people to leave Cuba on a commercial flight and celebrate their return with Delta. Side note: this project was not a brief received by Delta but a proactive pitch from the team at Digitas.

USPS: Direct Mail | Concept/Copywriting. We created and produced mock campaigns on behalf of USPS clients to demonstrate the power of direct mail. To help USPS pitch ThreadUP, we created fun, physical expiration tags to remind people of clothes they weren’t wearing and could sell on ThreadUP. The result not only won the ThreadUp business for USPS but they took the idea we pitched to their agency for production.

Wells Fargo: Digital/Web. Student financing is a big part of Wells Fargo’s business. So when they approached us for help speaking to their customers about college financing, we saw an opportunity to start students (and parents) down the path toward a lifetime of solid financial habits. We created the Get College Ready web experience that helped students learn and track their financial goals with key milestones.

Creative Lead, Designer

Cara Ragusa

Durham, NC

Recognized work/brands: I've done a lot of design work for Duke Health and Duke University - medical magazines, student guides, hospital annual reports, campaign/event logos, marketing materials, infographics, and a ton more. I also recently completed a highly successful online campaign with RTI International to help gain awareness and support for a new research initiative. The client attributed the eye-catching graphics to the campaign exceeding engagement expectations.

As far as biggest difference/impact, it was for an unknown, struggling inner-city Catholic school. I was brought on to expand their brand awareness and marketing reach, and within three years of my work elevating and transforming the brand (updated logo and campus signage; redesigned websites for internal staff, prospective families, and donors; reimagined marketing materials, advertisements, video; social media campaigns - you name it, I did it). The school saw an increase in enrollment by 68%. They have since had to create wait lists for several grades and it is now a school well known in the greater community.
