"We brought Adam Ritchie Brand Direction on board to help increase our brand awareness in the 15+ states where our beers were being sold. They created and executed some of the most thoughtful media campaigns I have seen or heard of. Their work was of the most exceptional quality, and full of expertise and good advice. Because they fully immersed themselves into our brand and corporate culture, their public relations efforts were seamless and authentic, securing what would have translated to tens of thousands of dollars of advertising space for our company in a matter of weeks. As well as his raw talent, Adam's extensive network of media contacts was an amazing asset to the campaigns he executed for us. If I had to do it over, my first call would be to Adam because his finger is so decidedly on the pulse. His agency's marketing and public relations services have my most whole-hearted recommendation."

"I worked with Adam for years, and he did a fantastic job supporting our company and brand. His passion for marketing is obvious when you meet him. Marketing often requires reinvention. Adam is pragmatic in his approach but a good salesman when companies need to make changes in strategy. He brings a fresh perspective and rolls with the punches very well. The icing on the cake is he is a great person. I would recommend Adam to anyone who is serious about building brand recognition."
