The Concept: QUOTABLE. Issue #000006
Q: What was your biggest challenge this year?
A: While we celebrated 2023 as our 20th year in business, it certainly wasn't the easiest year. We encountered challenges and were forced to pivot. We gained remarkable clients and missed chances to serve others. We created work that we're proud of, put our heads down, and kept moving, focusing on what sets us apart as a way to reflect and redirect.
The challenges make you stronger, more nimble, better able to handle what comes next—you are forced to make time to think bolder, get more creative, and forge deeper relationships with current clients.
To that end, we're sharing some of the things we worked on this year and some things that our clients said about us that contributed to the best memories of 2023.
What challenged you this year?
What did you learn that you'll take with you into 2024?
We want to know...
"Trampoline became part of our extended work family. We always hear business leaders talk about the right people in the right seat... they have ROCKSTARS in the PERFECT seats. From the initial call to the artistry of the designers to the team's organization and patience with me and the leadership - everyone is perfectly placed to make clients feel at home, comfortable going outside their everyday norm and having fun while doing work! Most importantly, they listened. They were intentional with their listening so they could deliver an outcome that was spot on. They created it, but by listening, I feel like I created it."
— Jeff Vukelic and Abby Todd, BEVS & Saratoga Eagle
"As a people-focused nonprofit, telling the stories of those who access our services is a crucial part of our marketing. What impressed me the most while working with the Trampoline team was their compassion as we moved through the logistics of filming client interviews. They compassionately crafted beautiful videos that told the stories of our clients’ journeys. Today, our videos continue to help us spread the word about our mission to make life better for people impacted by cancer.”
— Katelynn Davis, The Dempsey Center
"Working with the Tramps has shaken up our look and feel for the better. The craft beer market is currently enduring some struggles, which makes it more important than ever for us to stand out. Right from the TestBounce, Trampoline got us thinking critically about our brand and how we could better reach our target market with new branding. These folks have also been great at connecting us to people from other local businesses, helping our own and other businesses succeed in our area. Cheers! "
— Devon Hamilton, Paradox Brewery
"Trampoline has played a pivotal role in propelling our brands to new heights. Their expertise has not only earned us recognition, but has also secured prestigious accolades from the National Ski Areas Association in the realms of video production, branding, and overall strategic excellence....they exude an effortless charm and possess a genuine passion for their craft."
— Greg Fisher, Midwest Family Mountain Resorts
"I have had the great good fortune to work with the team at Trampoline Design for 20 years now, at two different organizations (Glens Falls Hospital and Paul Smith’s College). From graphic design to creative writing, from reimagined logos to fundraising appeals, and from rebrands to refreshed colors, Trampoline has been my “go to” firm for a very good reason: they are the best."
— Ray Agnew, Glens Falls Hospital
Trampoline and Paul Hai (Associate Director, Adirondack Ecological Center) go way back. Whenever Paul calls, we know there is worthwhile work ahead. Timbuctoo Institute is a beacon of hope for the Adirondacks, demonstrating a willingness to push for better access, diversity, and purpose. Once again, Hai pulls out our best work.
