We decided to rebrand about 9 months ago and after researching and interviewing several companies, we chose KickCharge due to their experience and reputation, especially with the home services industry. We knew that rebranding was not only a big investment, but also vital for our success...we wanted the best! THEY DELIVERED EXACTLY THAT! Dan and the whole KickCharge team went above and beyond our expectations. From their initial briefing with us to delivery of the final proofs, the communication and creative process was impressive! They gave us an eye catching brand that stands out among our competitors!!

We heard about KickCharge Creative at the Service World Expo in Las Vegas and were impressed with Dan's presentation. We immediately reached out to work with him to rebrand our HVAC company. KickCharge involved us in every step and really listened to what we had in mind. They took our direction and created a brand that blew us away. We are so excited to see our company grow under the new branding Dan and his team created for us. We could not recommend them enough!

We decided to change our brand after 27 years in business and Dan and his team did not let us down. It is a 5 star redesign on our logo, van wraps and we have Kick Charge to thank. Thank you and thanks for the killer Brochure this week. It is awesome. Gonna kill it in 2020.

We have been partnering with Dan and his team for several years now! We get the opportunity to produce some of the vehicle wraps, signs, and apparel designed by the KickCharge team. Their talent is industry leading and second to none. It is a privilege to bring their designs to life!

We love working with Kickcharge. Everyone is so helpful and accomodating. If everything keeps going well we will be a client for life. When we first approached them for a truck wrap, they refused because our logo was not good enough. We laughed, and tried to find someone else to design the wraps. Nothing seemed good enough, so after about 6 months we came back and agreed to have them also redesign the logo and the wrap. We are so happy we made the choice to do so! Dan really knows design, we have now used them for 3 more projects and look forward to having him redesign our website soon!

I want to start off by saying that I have been following Dan and his teams work for over a decade. I remember the first time I saw Timo's brand and thought, "Wow! Now THAT is an awesome brand!" So when we decided to hire KickCharge Creative back in February it was honestly a dream come true. The entire process from start to finish was flawless and the outcome was more than we ever could have wished for. Kickcharge turned our boring brand into a brand that is unforgettable. Our experience with them is one that will forever be monumental in our lives and one that will never be forgotten. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your hard work and your dedication to us. We LOVE you guys. ⚔️ 🇺🇸❤️💙

We were waiting years to come across a company that we feel really understands the power of branding on the foundation of a company. As a company in the trades industry, we believe there’s an overall lack of this in our space, so using Kickcharge is extremely low hanging fruit that will give you a new sense of pride in the brand of your business, and for anyone reading this who just wants to know about the bottom line, yes, your bottom line is also at the heart of their work. Your brand, over the course of its lifetime, is 100% worth investing in properly. We’re really excited to continue working with these guys, and couldn’t recommend more.

I was in desperate need of a company rebrand. Luckily, I found Dan and KickCharge. The whole process was so smooth and professional. They designed a logo and truck wrap for me and have exceeded my expectations. I have received numerous compliments and I could not be happier. I highly recommend KickCharge and I will certainly be using them for future services.

Bare with me a moment, this review might be longer then just “this company does good work”. If you searched for a company to brand your business, then you already know no one else comes close to Kickcharge creative. I found them online by mistake, and it took me 4 months to decide to use them. But ultimately I didn't want to pay twice for branding. Why hire cheap today and then still have do it right in 5 years?!So we invested in our brand and did it right from the beginning. Their process is very thorough to make sure they understand who your target audience is and what your offering that makes you different from the competition. Dan personally worked with me tirelessly for days to build a brand I loved and that would be effective in my market. Customers and friends tell us they have seen our van on the road. We get texts with photos of us driving down the highway. We’re impossible to miss thanks to Dan and Kickcharge creative. At the end of the day, if your looking for a company to brand you, search for yourself and see if anyone is able to really match the standard that Kickcharge has set themselves at. Thank you for our awesome brand and you can always count on me to sing your praises. Yuda

KICKCHARGE takes a consultative approach to developing the right graphics solutions for their clients. Dan and his team listen to want I have to say and comes up with just what I’m looking for. And their customer service is second to done. I give them a Five Star Rating in My Book!

TOPS IN TRUCKS 2019!!! That says how good they are at what they do. But the true story is how great they are at understanding who you are. Before KickCharge our trucks were barely noticeable, not even to our customers. Dan and his team understood how best to represent the brand of Southern Air Pros. Thanks for giving us the image our company needed (Tops in Trucks was pretty cool, too) Amazing to work with before, during and after the process. Michelle did a wonderful job at coordinating and communicating. Yes, they are the best!

This company is by far the best of the best. I reached out for a new look, something bold and not so flat. Seatown Electric Heating and Air is a five star company that had a 3 star look. After working with Dan and his team of unbelievably talented, creative geniuses we now have a fun, bold, vibrant brand that matches our 5 star reputation. From the moment we gave the green light kickcharge was on it! Communication is excellent, the creative literature and logo all speak the same language and we couldn't be happier. Was it worth it???? I was reluctant to invest wrapping 30 plus vans, and the cost for the brand but wow! Everyday we get phone calls saying we see your vans everywhere, constant comments from potential customers and existing customers that say they love the new look. We even had a few people call literally just to compliment on our trucks (no work needed). I have heard multiple techs say customers compliment our literature and how catchy it is. Since the rebrand I look back and will say it's worth every penny. My recommendation to any business owner is go all in with it don't stop with just a logo let them do it all, you won't be disappointed.To the team at kickcharge hats off to you!! And thank you!!

Dan and his team at Kickcharge exceeded my expectations. They have developed a brand to fit my local reputation. Thank you to your whole team. We will be using kickcharge for our future marketing needs, and would highly recommend anyone on the fence to make the investment. You won't be disappointed.

We are a small business who was seeking out a larger image. I believe Dan and his team delivered just that. They provided an in depth look into our company and helped paint that on a canvas. We're truly happy with their services and look to use in other areas of our business.

We called KickCharge in 2016 to get a wrap design. They informed me that our logo could use some help. At the time I was in love with our old logo and wasn’t ready to let it go. After talking to Dan I decided to give there new logo a try. Dan created a unique and creative logo that spoke to me and we went forward with the rebranding. It was scary at first but the calls started pouring in. We had wrapped all of trucks and with the new logo and our market liked what they seen. We had done 2 million in sales in 2016, now 2018 we finished our year over 4 million. We had doubled our business in just 2 years. Our branding by KickCharge played a big role in that. I could not be happier with what Dan and team have created for us.

Can't say enough positive about our experience with KickCharge. Wonderful to work with from the get go. One of the things that i appreciated most was that Dan listened carefully to all of our input and used it when appropriate... but he was not afraid to disagree and tell us why his way was better. I respect that. I've worked with too many creatives over my career who were just glorified yes-men. I wholeheartedly recommend KickCharge.

Dan and his talented team re-branded our business. A new paint division was created and our logos and copy were all revised. I'm so proud of our new look and know that we have grown by at least 30% by creating a new, fresher more on-point message. Great service and creativity that is priceless. Thank you KickCharge!

If you're thinking about hiring KickCharge for a truck or van wrap, you're going to get the best design in the world, hands down. There's just no question about that. Nobody else does what these guys do. If you want the best, look no further. Communication could be better. I had a couple questions during the design process that were glossed over, which led to irritations and some wasted time when I went to hire a local installer (I'm in Indiana, KickCharge is in New Jersey). In the end, everything turned out fine and I now have the best looking carpet cleaning van in my state. I'd compare working with KickCharge to dating a super model. She knows she's the best looking, which means she also knows she can get away with some shenanigans, and she knows you'll tolerate it because you both know it's impossible for you to do any better. So yes, there are some issues. But big picture, you're still dating a smoking hot super model. If that makes sense. In reality, this rating should be a 4.5 instead of a 4. I just can't go a full 5 because of the communication issues. Would use again. Would highly recommend. You won't be sorry.

When you want the absolute best, then look no further than KickCharge Creative! We've been working with KickCharge since the mid 90's when Dan Antonelli was running a solo-person firm. We've enthusiastically watched them grow through the years and one thing that has always been evident is the passion and vision that Dan has breathed into his company. Stop in to their office and you'll see an example of a company culture like none other - it's contagious! We've realized tremendous growth because of the web design, branding, and social media management that KickCharge does for us to this day, and we feel they are worth every marketing dollar we give them for the value they add to our organization. Many thanks to Dan Antonelli and his amazing team (too many great people to name individually!) for helping us be a success - Steve Graul, President, Castle Point Landscape Design

Dan and his team at Kickcharge are my secret weapon. Since 2005 we’ve been working with them to give our small business a Big Brand. When you work with them you’ll understand the value of an investment. Dan’s unusual level of talent, matched with a like minded team of creative professionals puts him in the top caliber of creative firms. Best thing I’ve ever did for my company.

My experience with Kickcharge has been outstanding! This company is passionate about creating an unforgettable brand and delivering results. I own an air conditioning business in a very competitive market in Florida. There are over 500 air conditioning companies inside a 75 mile radius. We had to find a way to have a brand that stood out if wanted to achieve our goals. While I was trying to find the right agency to work with I came across their website and was blown away by the powerful brands they had built. One quote by Dan himself sealed the deal “Success in spite of a poor brand is not a valid reason to perpetuate it.” When I read that statement it was instantaneous and I knew they were the right company for me. I decided to go “all in” and let their creative team take the wheel. Our new brand is going to change the marketplace in the area we compete in. From the truck wraps, to the website and all other social media platforms, we will have the most memorable brand in the land! We look forward to many successful years with KickCharge Creative as our go to Marketing Agency!

I hired KickCharge Creative for a re-brand & logo design project. As someone who works in a design field, it’s difficult to be able to step back and examine your own brand from a clear perspective. Dan and his entire team of experts were extremely easy to work with and crafted an awesome logo that we’re very proud of. Amazing team all around and looking forward to working with them on future projects. I‘d recommend KickCharge for any business serious about their brand and delivering the right message to the right audience.

We were looking to update / rebrand our HVAC company from its original branding from 1991. I’ve seen KickCharge’s work with other companies and they looked like a good fit. The whole process was smooth and extremly organized. Dan and his team communicated clearly the entire time. The concepts they came up with were exactly the direction we wanted to go. They made it difficult to choose, but we extremely happy with the final result. The execution of the project was flawless. I get so many compliments from clients and other businesses on our logo and wrapped trucks. Big thanks to Dan and his team for a huge and positive transformation to our business.

Amazing work! Phenomenal customer support, super easy to work with. We worked with dozens of companies over the past 10 years and KickCharge stood out as one of the best we've worked with to date.

One of the best, if not the best Service Business Graphic Designers in the world right now. It's also nice to talk and deal with the owner Dan about the design process and any issues that come up. Highly recommend.

Absolutely Amazing Work, Just launched our 3rd website with this firm. We have been working with them for over 15 years. Dan and his team are no joke and they consistently produce amazing results.

This firm is AWESOME! Dan and his team exceeded our expectations for our re-branding project. We hired KickCharge after a raving review from our friends at Integra Electric. They created : Name, Logo, Tagline, Stationary and Vehicle wrap design. They had a unique ability to streamline a complex process making it intuitive, interactive and fun. The quality of all the finished products are the best we’ve seen. Thank you Dan, Michelle and Team for what you do.

As a Graphic Designer and Entrepreneur, I've built a business around logo design, branding and quality products. But, when we decided to re-design our own logo, we hit a wall. We were too close to it and unable to really see it from our client's perspective. Having been a long time fan and follower of KickCharge Creative's work under Dan Antonelli's direction, I reached out to see if they were up for the task. After a creative brief, they went straight to work and it didn't take long for them to show me that they are true professionals and experts in their craft. We didn't end up with just a new logo, but a new image that pushed our business in the direction we wanted to go, and they understood that. Partnering with KickCharge Creative was one of the smartest business decisions I've ever made!

You know, as a creative, I was sure we would be able to knock our own logo out of the park. But... The more we worked on it the more I became my worst nightmare. I was too picky on everything and I mean everything. Well, It was time to get a trusted opinion from somebody I had studied for years. As you can see, he had something great up his sleeve as always and had something perfect in mind for our company. The first time I saw the logo, it was love at first sight! You cannot find a better company than Kickcharge. Thank you Dan and your faithful team for the perfect logo and for all of your help the past couple of years!
