We've been in business for 9 years and like most owners who started their company from the ground up, you tend to treat it like one of your kids. To say we were scared of the new change is an understatement! After talking with Dan and his team we knew we were in good hands!! I absolutely LOVE KickCharge, what they have helped my team and I do is absolutely amazing!! Going through this process was very emotional and at times frustrating! The frustrating part about it, I was in my own way! When change comes so does resistance, but after talking to Dan and his team I just needed to trust the process and get out of my own way! I think we all need to do that from time to time in order to grow beyond your own thought's, expectations, and goals! Dan and his team made me realize this, and in just a little over a year after launching our new brand we have grown by 200%! Thank you from all of us here at Zip to Dan and his team at KickCharge Creative!!! We couldn't have done this with out you guys!

KickCharge Creative took my small company with no branding and transformed it into something completely new. My vehicle wraps are eye-catching and the name, logo and artwork are just amazing!Erica, Patrick, Lori, and the whole team were friendly and helpful. They work hard and communicate every step of the way. Thank you for a great experience. This company is 100% worth the investment!

KickCharge did an amazing job rebranding our company to "Floorizon." The new name and design are fantastic and already getting a lot of positive attention. Big thanks to the whole team for the incredible design, and making the whole process easy. This process was long but it was worth the wait.

Kick charge is the only company I trust to brand any of my companies. Hiring them leaves one less thing to worry about as a business owner when we have a million other things to focus on. Spend the money and never have to worry about changing it again.

Updated review: KickCharge Creative changed the trajectory of Air Nerds and has brought so much joy into the communities we serve. You will not regret hiring the A-Team in home service branding.Hiring Kick Charge was one of the wisest foundational decisions we made at Air Nerds. The process was professional, staff were incredibly easy to work with, and the value they include cannot be matched by any other company.After the brand birthday- we were supplied with a "roadmap" of next steps that contained a lot of detail and resources to maximize your new brand. It is clear that the Kick Charge staff are the absolute best in their field and have your best interest at hand. Plenty of other companies will take your money and turn their back but Kick Charge literally wants to see you succeed!They have earned our business for all future branding work!One tip: TRUST DAN!! He knows what the heck he is doing. The first time you see your new logo you may not have the reaction you anticipated however you need to keep in mind that his specialty is designing what people hiring you want to see- and that may differ greatly with what you initially think you want to see.I plan to update this review in 6 months to share what our re-brand has done for our inner culture and revenue growth!Kick Charge will literally make your brand come alive!!

I first saw Dan’s importance of branding message shared at a Vegas service’s convention. I was only a glorified plumbing sales guy for another company back then. His word stuck with me, I knew if I ever started a company, this was THE guy I was hiring. Well, three years ago, I took the leap and I knew only one team was going to be capable of bringing my vision to life. Kickcharge’s team gave my vision form and direction with a clear story. I could not be happier with what Dan and his amazing team members have created for us.

We completed a branding package with KickCharge. They we very professional and created exactly what we needed. KickCharge is knowledgeable about how to design the best brand to fit our city and customers. They were very quick to answer any questions we had as well. We are all very pleased with our experience!

In talking about the cost vs. value, I'm not sure this was worth it.We had another company quote us less and we would have received more. KickCharge wanted an additional $12k for a brand book after we had already spent more than that just for a logo and a van wrap design. Even got charged extra for uniform designs (a singular shirt).Working with KickCharge feels very corporate. There's no personal touch and you are definitely just another number. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but definitely not what we were expecting. It seemed weird to give a company the honor/trust of redesigning the face of the place you dedicate your life to (business owners know that your company is like your child), work with them for 5 months, yet they still spell your name wrong. Again, that's just my take.Additionally, there are super long lead times.The only thing I can really say is that the logo is cool, but not for what we spent and the experience that came with it.

Some call them expensive. I say they're worth every penny at just about any price.I'm a very small shop, so to say the expense is worth it is no small feat - Dan Antonelli and KickCharge really earned their place as the absolute leader.A few years ago I started searching on Google Images for truck wraps to find a designer. Designs by KickCharge stood out throughout my search. I didn't know about them or Dan. Didn't know they did my mentors work or a bunch of shops in my region that looked at with admiration.After I finally settled on a new business name, I approached KickCharge, and wrote a very large check. I met with my account manager and a designer to discuss design elements and colors. 2-3 weeks later, samples came back - I was floored! It wasn't an easy to pick between them. I asked for parts of 1 design to be applied to another and after a discussion or two the final design was settled.Then that work went off to a few departments. My character got shading and depth added to it, and then the work got applied to a wrap design. Once I signed off on the initial wrap design it was then worked onto to the front, back and opposite side of the vehicle.Then his team did my Yard Signs and Door Hangers etc. Everything the touch looks amazing.I'm thrilled to be a client.

Kickcharge redid our brand about a year ago. I waited to give this review because I wanted to see how the brand performed as well as how the support was from the company. As expected the entire team has been amazing through and through!! We cut our advertising back to almost nothing as we are having a hard time keeping up with the work that comes in off of the truck. We initially had the design the new brand and truck wraps. Over the past year we have added in shirts, business cards with shiny Stars (so cool), letter head, table clothes and vinyl banners. They have done an amazing job with all that I have asked for. Looking forward to the continued relationship with everyone there!

Hats off to the whole team at KickCharge. They have a very well-oiled machine from the very first call, to onboarding, to naming, to design, and the other miscellaneous projects. When we do what I think we're going to do with this brand I will point back to you all in acknowledgement. They're going to recognize us now. Shoutout to Gina, Patrick, Janice, Meghan, Terri and anyone else who worked on our project!

Dan and his team are great at what they do. They tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear. Their brands are disruptive, effective and for lack of a better word: amazing.They rebranded our 35 year old logo while keeping our name brand equity. We love the new wrap and so does our team and our customers. We can’t say enough good things about Dan and the team at kickcharge.

I though I've written a review already and just had to come back to make sure - turns out, I had not yet which is my mistake. Kickcharge has systemetized a true genius - bringing forth brand feeling through design and architecture. It's true art and science combined and Dan and his team are professionals that play in a different league. I highly recommend them ONLY if you want to build a business and to grow. Cause once they touch your stuff - you'll have growth.

KickCharge Creative is simply the best in the business when it comes to branding, logo design, vehicle wrap design, and any other print design/collateral you are needing for your home service business. They handled my company's logo redesign and did an outstanding job. Their team was extremely professional to work with, and got our project done on-time! Thank you Kelly, Terri, Phil, Dan, and the rest of the KC team for helping bring our brand to life!

If I could give 10 stars I would! My experience with Kickcharge Creative was first class from beginning to end. My husband and I specifically budgeted for branding with Dan and his team in our business plan when we opened Anchor Heating and Air and it is by far the smartest move we have made!Dan and the Kickcharge Team are creative, innovative and professional. Above all they listened to us when we articulated the kind of company that we were and how we wanted to be represented. From the colors, to the design, to the small details, Kickcharge went above and beyond to make our brand stand out while having all of the personal touches that make us special.The process was easy and the communication was great. We were given great options and all of our questions were answered quickly. We suffered with White Van Syndrome for almost an entire year so that we could come out the gate with a disruptive and amazing brand and we have done just that. Everyday people comment on how much they love our logo and our vans shine around town everywhere they go.We could not be more thankful to Dan for creating a brand to represent the best of who we are and certainly an iconic brand that will be recognizable for years to come. We highly recommend Kickcharge Creative to any company that is looking for exceptional results and immediate growth. The busy season will tell the whole story but we are up 400% over Q1 2022 and climbing!Man it feels so good to be #BrandednotBlanded!Update: Our branding has defined the success of our year and we are ending the year having doubled our revenue and double digit profits! Best decision we could have made for our business.

These guys are like no one else in the industry and worth every penny. The amount of thought and effort that Dan and his team put into your brand will bring it to a level you didn't even know possible. if you want better insight into the thought process they apply to their clients, give Dan's book Branded Not Blanded a read. It gives great insight into how to think about your brand and what it says to your customers, but working with their team is unbeatable. Investing with them for my brand is the best money I've spent on by business, hands down.

Kickcharge creates pure magic. The re-branding experience is definitely a full-scale, in-depth process. We absolutely received what we paid for. We are SO PROUD of our new brand - and were guided through this process with so much care, professionalism, and the final product is AMAZING! From foundational concepts, renaming the business, creating the tagline, copyrighting to help us launch, etc. and all the printed collateral to go with it all...a complete seamless experience. True professionals at every turn. Could't be happier! Take Dan's advice: double down and go from "blanded to branded". You won't be disappointed!!

KickCharge Creative has truly surpassed our expectations! Their team worked magic in transforming our van wraps and branding into absolute showstoppers. We couldn't be happier with the exceptional quality and creativity they brought to our project. The attention to detail and dedication they exhibited throughout the process was outstanding. Thank you, KickCharge Creative, for delivering beyond excellence! Definitely a five-star experience.

Well I am unsure where to start with this other than AMAZING!!!! The entire Kick Charge team are all so amazing and great to work with. I know there are many options out there as business owners however, I will tell you that you will not find anyone or any company quite like them. They explained everything in the process and the why's along the way. I know that it is hard to hear your brand may not be the best, especially since many of us built our companies from nothing. The reality is in this case my brand was terrible. We have gained so much more recognition, our team culture has shifted and the value in the service we provide is now easily visible at a quick glance! Thank you again to the entire team, I want to start another company just so I can do another brand.

My experience with Kickcharge goes all the way back to around 2011/2012 and there’s a reason I wouldn’t go anywhere else for branding. I recently launched my own brand which was my second brand launch with Dan and the team. As if the first brand I oversaw 10+ years ago wasn’t amazing enough, they exceeded my expectations AGAIN with Dream Heating & Cooling. Want to put your competition on notice? Call Kickcharge and turn them loose with YOUR brand, too!

We found the cure for WVS (White Van Syndrome)! The doctors name is Dan Antonelli! The prescription was a complete overhaul for our 54 year old business (Tuck & Howell). It all started when I spoke to a friend of mine that hired Kickcharge to brand his business (Bullseye in Sarasota, FL.). He recommended that I read the book Branded Not Blanded. I was actually working for a company and had been telling my wife that I want to go out on my own.... I have been in the business my whole life and wanted to start my own business but I was missing something. The book made it all come together for me. The proverbial light bulb went off in my head the moment I read the book. I had an opportunity to buy my family's business and it was right after reading Dan's book.The reason I keep referencing the book is because when a contractor thinks about a complete overhaul of their brand, they think "oh my gosh that's way too expensive". The fact of the matter is that it's a hell of a lot more expensive not to do it! That's the absolute facts!An amazing phenomenon about rebranding is that not only do you get to increase revenue by attracting more customers but you will attract potential employees! YES I SAID THAT! There is a huge shortage in this industry for technicians and installers as everyone knows. The fact of the matter is that technicians like to feel proud of the company they work for. They like to pull up to the house driving a wrapped vehicle with some cool and sticky branding, walk up to the door wearing a uniform matching the vehicle, handing the home owner a business card that matches as well! These guys don't like driving a clunker, wearing a t-shirt with clip art on the left chest, and handing them a card that they designed on vistaprint!Ask for Erica and Gina as your project managers! They are absolute Rockstars! Very responsive, knowledgeable and professional! Going through a rebrand there is a lot of communication and having someone that stays on top of things is extremely important not only for detail but timing. These 2 gals are some of the best I have ever seen! I don't know where they found them but they are lucky to have them!Get with the program! Read the Branded Not Blanded Book, and more importantly #GETKICKCHARGED!

Plain and simple, if you're serious about your business, than you seriously need to get on board with Dan and his team at KickCharge. We all know that what you can't afford, is not having the job done right the first time - you likely tell your clients a variation of this every day. Each day I walk out to my wrapped truck and am thankful that I chose to go with KickCharge, they killed it!

I can't say enough about Kick charge creative and their team. When I started my business in late 2019 I knew it was critical to choose a company with an awesome and great reputation for building brands. After researching kick charge I was completely confident they were the ones to go with. Working with their team and staff was awesome easy and actually very enjoyable. The whole process was fun watching the brand come to life.I knew from the beginning the importance of having the right brand with the right image and feeling was going to give me a huge competitive Edge against my competitors. Kick charge knocked it out of the ballpark! We launched our business February of 2020 and it was a huge success. Our brand got noticed by so many different people and our phones started ringing off the hook. We were able to scale back all of our paid advertising which was a great benefit.We're so happy and thankful for everything kick charge has created for our brand. Even during a pandemic our startup business grew to two trucks and pulled in $700,000 in sales with in 2 years. I highly recommend kick charge!
