Our engagement with Vesta, a premier award-winning kitchen design firm in Chicago started out very simply- founder Colette Rodon Hornof needed to outsource her social media. We met with Colette, made a plan, and began to execute that plan.

As months turned into years, Colette realized that she needed to refresh her logo and create a new website that featured her dozens and dozens of stunning kitchens, bathrooms, and curated closets.

As a design firm, it was critical for Vesta‘s website to reflect the beauty, simplicity, and functional design of her interior design work. We are all so pleased with the super sleek result, and the site won a gold Hermes Award in 2023.

One of the coolest things we’ve ever done with a client was when we cohosted an after-work networking event in 2022. Vesta and CI were able to bring new and old friends together in her event space, Concord Fifty+Five. Guests enjoyed the open, modern space which was ideal for mixing, mingling and cocktailing! Colette also kindly included personal tours of her stunning showroom in the adjacent space which was a great visual treat for our design-loving guests.

Vesta is truly a unique and beautiful woman owned company and we love being their marketing team!

@ Home Title Services has grown tremendously since we first met as an eager start-up with a great idea! @ Home Title Services helps real estate brokers expand their skills and profitability and trains them how to be Title Agents – they really are “a better kind of Title Company!”

Carlson Integrated first created the logo, and we streamlined branding to meet industry qualifications in a regulated business. As @ Home Title Services grew, so did our scope of work. They needed additional marketing support, which led to CI creating brochures, a website, flyers, and pop-up banners and working on targeted Facebook advertising and social media.

Our marketing strategy was key in helping @ Home connect with local real estate alliances and the right audience in the real estate and brokerage world. They have grown as a result.

I’m especially proud of the way we have been able to empower them. The CEO, Edward was not particularly digital-marketing savvy, but now he is creating his own email lists, designing banners, posting to social media from events and more!

The work we did with @ Home Title Services makes me proud of how flexible and quick to pivot we are as a company, being able to add to our initial scope of work and provide value for a rapidly growing company. We had to revamp several pieces multiple times based on attorney instructions, and we were able to do so quickly and successfully. That’s what makes us so special as a marketing agency! We can cover multiple areas of marketing simultaneously, and we have the resources and experience to do it. As always, our goal is to be the go-to marketing experts and add value however we can, wherever we can.

I have known the founder of Four Corners Advisors, Inc., Michael Shindler for many years – long before I started Carlson Integrated.

Michael is a highly respected hospitality consultant, having worked with top hotel and casino brands on prestigious projects around the world. He is also a member of ISHC (International Society of Hospitality Consultants). An invitation to ISHC is highly coveted – only the top of the hospitality industry are asked to join, and he is definitely the best out there.

We initially started working with Michael on recreating his website, and it was important to us that we not only build a great functioning site, but one that was elevated, visually. It had to be beautiful to reflect Michael’s level of expertise and reputation in the hospitality industry, as well as the industry itself. I was ecstatic that he chose CI to do this for him.

In addition to website development, for the past several years we have been able to create materials and coordinate marketing communications for website updates, even working in tandem with our marketing counterpart in Europe, for his newest strategic partnership.

I am also very touched and appreciative of Michael’s unwavering support of CI – he is always so encouraging, so gracious, so full of good will – that he even included our logo on his website as an advisory affiliate. I am very proud of the work we have done for Michael, but most of all I am simply grateful that we get to be a part of his important work.
