Yank and Limey has been great throughout the entire process and continue to be good partners. ’

Paper & More

‘We had a vision for our Paper & More retail store. We knew the customer base that we wanted to target. We knew the products we wanted to offer. We had an idea of what we wanted the store to look like. How could we miss? What we didn't know was how all those components work together to create the optimal desired result.

Yank and Limey provided all the intangibles that we were missing. With the expertise that Ben and Paul brought to us, we were able to create the right environment. It started with the creation of a logo and signage that attracted our target clientele. Once inside the store, Ben and Paul helped create an environment that was warm, friendly, informative, attractive and best of all, it enhanced our products by the way they were displayed.

It's gratifying to see a project go from conception to reality. Yank and Limey provided the direction and kept us on the course!

Working with Yank and Limey has been a rewarding experience. They took our vision, made it reality and the results have exceeded our expectations.’

Jerry Callahan, General Manager, Shaughnessy

Once, Films

‘I bring a companies brand story to life through film.

Yank and Limey brought my brand to life through well thought out strategy and design.

These guys are the "creatives' creatives". They see things that are important to clients and communicate those in ways that capture the attention, the imagination, and the possibilities of what can be done.

They don't cut corners, but instead challenge the status quo and find ways to drive messages that mean something to people, bringing brands to life. That's what Once, Films is all about. And that's what Yank and Limey delivered."’
