"As a public school, we don't have a true "marketing" budget and we are very careful to be financially responsible. We looked to AVS Marketing Group for their expertise and couldn't have been more satisfied! Our goal was for student recruitment, but we were pretty specific with the type of student we were looking for and the information we wanted to share. AVS provided us with a complete marketing plan and many cost-effective avenues for getting information to the people we needed reach. Additionally, we were under budget! The feedback that we've received from our marketing materials has been amazing! Our materials were eye-catching and gave the professional image we were looking for. As a result, we have our first student cohort group starting in the fall! The AVS staff was exceptional and made the process easy."
Lynette Livingston, Director of Curriculum & Instruction, School District of Mauston
"AVS Group brought the expertise and neutral insight we needed to move forward with developing our new brand. Their help with external research, client and coworker surveying, and design creativity helped us to find a brand that not only reinforces our company’s core values and mission statement, but will be strategic and relevant in the future. AVS Group was easy to work with. They listened to exactly what we needed and came up with a plan that allowed our coworkers to remain a vital part of the process. Something we felt was extremely important for buy-in with the new brand. They gave us the tools we need to move forward with the project with the promise of support as we need it in the future."

"As always, the AVS Group team [producer, photographer, and meeting assistant] exceeded my expectations—I enjoy working with them. We try to include AVS Group in our corporate events every chance we get; having them at our conferences makes our [meeting planners’] jobs much more manageable. When AVS Group is involved, I don’t have to worry about the A/V, and other technical aspects, because I know they have those things under control. I appreciate what they bring to our events and would recommend them to others.”
