For more than a decade, our partnership with Peebles Creative Group has been an important component of Licking County Foundation’s success with our branding, collateral, and special projects. A community foundation’s work is complex, but the Peebles team invests the time to understand who we are and what we do. Whether it’s a simple invitation, an annual report, or a multimedia project, Peebles responds with the same creative energy and vision to craft a thoughtful and compelling pathway for our message.

Doug and Tina have been wonderful partners in helping us to reimagine careers in manufacturing. They took the time to understand the enrollment ecosystem that we were working in and helped us to develop a marketing strategy that promises to build enthusiasm for pathways into the vital manufacturing sector.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Peebles and I can say without hesitation that their service is exceptional. The response times and turnaround times from Peebles is unmatched. What sets Peebles apart is the level of professionalism demonstrated by everyone within the company. They take ownership of everything they do and go above and beyond to ensure the best outcome for their clients. One of the things that I appreciate most about Peebles is their commitment to building strong relationships with their clients. Doug has been an invaluable partner to us, and we have “adopted” him as a member of our own! He even attends our company Christmas parties with his wife. Overall, I’m thankful for the partnership we’ve created with Peebles, and they have exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Peebles to anyone looking for an innovative, trustworthy marketing partner.

Peebles Creative Group led a seamless process in the development of our new brand identity and website. They were very intentional in the representation of our company and delivered the end product in a timely manner. We are consistently complimented on our new logo.

Doug Peebles and his creative team have done just what we asked. They took the best of our thoughts and feelings about our museum and programs, and put it into a package with charm, appeal and humor. And, they did it in a relaxed and easy manner. We feel confident and proud of our product, and pleased with ourselves for hiring Peebles Creative Group.

Steve Germann, Director, Living Heritage Festival
Carillon Historical Park

Back in 2016. I walked into Peebles Creative Group with a $40 Wordpress template and a dream. It would be hard to put into words how instrumental Doug and his team have been, and will continue to be, in building that dream into the brand that we are proud of today. I think one of the truest tests of how you feel about a partnership is your willingness to recommend them to your best clients. I've never hesitated to recommend Peebles Creative Group and I've always been impressed by the work they produce.

A new branding campaign helped BalletMet Columbus finish the year in the black... contributions to the ballet increased 21 percent over the previous year... accounting for 45 percent of BalletMet’s 2003 budget. In addition, Dance Academy enrollment increased 23 percent to account for 17 percent of BaletMet’s 2003 budget.

Doug Peebles and his team excel at delivering excellent work on time or even earlier than promised, and more efficiently than others in their industry. They are incredibly responsive, offering creative solutions to advance our growing brand.

Steve Couch, President
OBLIC: Ohio Bar Liability Insurance Company

Peebles Creative is an amazing company to work with. I’m picky with branding/advertising/marketing and Peebles has knocked it out of the park for two of my businesses.

Luke Walker, Founder
Equip Skills Center

Sorry I was unable to attend the Columbus Advertising Awards and share what must have been an exciting evening. What you have accomplished in a short period of time is truly remarkable. I am proud to be one of your ‘charter’ clients and suspect that all your clients have come to appreciate the way you approach their business and ultimately add value to their products and services. While organizational awards are not always indicative of client success, in this case, the two go hand in hand.

Nickolas Moniko, President
Newspaper Network of Central Ohio

Doug Peebles was instrumental in the development and execution of branding campaigns for a number of our daily newspapers, and for our newspaper network. He worked with us so closely, and so completely understood what we were trying to do that he became a key part of our marketing organization. He helped develop the positioning strategies for each branding program, and he executed the creative work brilliantly. He is smart, talented, easy to work with, and thoroughly professional.

Jim Hopson, President
Newspaper Network of Central Ohio

Thought you’d be interested to know that we launched the brand with faculty... and we hit a grand slam. I invited three teachers to reflect on each word – compelling, considerate, uncompromising – and share their thoughts with colleagues at our opening meeting. It ended up taking almost two hours to get through the launch but resistance evaporated. A few folks were tearful. The launch with the kids has been great, too. We are using a “collect the set” gimmick with three buttons, one with each word. We give away candy to kids displaying their buttons; you’d think we were giving away Escalades...

Paul G. Barker, Principal
The John Carroll School

For nearly two decades, Peebles Creative Group has been BalletMet’s marketing group of choice. PCG has demonstrated exemplary service in the areas of graphic design and branding, as we experienced with our 25th Anniversary Season branding and image campaign. Doug Peebles and his staff consistently go beyond our expectations and are very accommodating to our wants and needs. Their ideas are fresh, innovative, and always push us to reach higher levels. Most of all, we commend PCG on its understanding and ability to adapt to the needs of a nonprofit organization such as BalletMet Columbus.

Cheri Mitchell, Executive Director
BalletMet Columbus

What we have experienced over countless projects is that Peebles Creative Group – under the strategic vision of Doug Peebles – is a creative agency who is about more than just a clever campaign. They have the ability, through a thoughtful process to really understand who the organization is and more importantly, wants to become, whom they wish to reach and impact and create a creative solution that is head and shoulders above anything you would have imagined. I can say with absolute confidence that Peebles Creative Group has really helped shape COSI’s strong brand, given us a face and personality we believe fit us well, developed campaigns that we are proud of and helped to position COSI in the community.

COSI Columbus

Peebles Creative Group helped the National Ground Water Association to position itself as a group that makes a difference, rather than being perceived as just another organization to which to pay dues. Several months after our branding rollout, our members continue to remark on the power of the images and messages conveyed in the creative materials crafted by PCG.

Kevin McCray, Executive Director
NGWA: National Ground Water Association

Doug and his crew have made a big hit with our board of directors as we traveled the potentially rocky road of branding our organization. His company’s positive impact is sure to be felt far into the future as we deliver our new brand promise to our membership and industry professionals. What made it all come together so well? The answer is that Peebles Creative Group listens! It seems these days that listening to customers has become a lost art, but PCG gave us what we wanted when we wanted it, and with spectacular results.

Ty Gable, President
National Precast Concrete Association

Peebles Creative Group was the perfect agency with which to work as our organization sought to create its new look and brand positioning story. They took the time to get to know us and become familiar with a new emerging industry – social enterprise. They were patient and responsive. And, most importantly, they designed our “look” and produced a set of materials that beautifully supported and complimented our activities, helping us secure a more important position in our field.

Beth Bubis, President and CEO
Social Enterprise Alliance

Peebles Creative Group’s approach to branding/marketing is to ask all the right questions, understand the answers, and deliver the promised results. Effective branding means developing a distinct identity – and Peebles Creative Group knows precisely how to do it.

Bill Monopoli, Publisher
The Times of Northwest Indiana

I have come to know Peebles Creative Group as an organization that delivers more than they promise, time and time again on projects of all sizes, and in markets of varying complexities. In the ever-changing world of media marketing in the nation’s capital, it’s refreshing to tackle issues and concerns with PCG. They’re straightforward, honest, and they produce results.

William Sutcliffe, Marketing Director
The Washington Times

Peebles Creative Group does not just market our firm; they understand it. They helped us articulate our mission with clarity and conviction, translating values into visuals and strategy into results. Their work is not surface-level branding; it is aligned, intentional, and essential to how we serve our clients across Ohio.

Wayne Hassay, Manging Partner
Maguire Schneider Hassay

It’s been a few years now since Doug and his team helped us with defining our story, and I look back at those long days and weekends with honor, awe, and pride. Honored to have the opportunity to work with Doug and see how he brings the magic into fruition; awe for how he gently leads and elevates the whole team to feel and see the vision we are capable of; and lastly, pride for the outcome and efforts his team puts forth, as well as pride for how great he helped our team look. Doug is an incredible listener and an exceptional observer, one who genuinely cares about the outcome and end product.
