Testimonials

Claire designed a Heart Hero Gallery for us that was beautiful, on-time and a good value, but I was most impressed with how much time she saved me in back-and-forth editing. She had excellent intuition and attention to detail from draft one, and she incorporated my few comments throughout the whole project, making the experience easy and the end-product fantastic.

Claire runs her communications business with a no-nonsense approach. She doesn't waste time nor will she let you waste your time. She executes and delivers with knowledge and creativity. I am completely satisfied with the web design she did for my company and look forward to working with her on future marketing projects.

I knew I needed a web site to add credibility to my small business, but I never expected it to bring me so much growth! Claire designed a site that is constantly complimented, and then recreated it as a postcard to hand out at events. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to solidify and/or improve their image.

Sarah McCullom, Owner, Hidden Treasure Appraisals

Claire, I just wanted to say thank you again so much for everything you have done for us! The program looks amazing!!! I know we were very difficult to work with but I really appreciate all of the work you did on our behalf. You are truly a pleasure to work with and a master at what you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Never underestimate the value of having a graphics person on call who is responsive, reliable, and attentive to detail. We rely on Claire more every day — I don't know what I'd do without her!

Alison Lynch, Director of Operations & Marketing, Driveway2Driveway.net

Hiring C. Liston Communications market services was one of the best management decisions we made for our company. The brochures, newsletters and posters are beautiful, attractive and deliver the message we want to pass to our customers. They also go hand in hand with our website campaign. Claire is not only a highly intelligent person with incredible marketing design skills; she also takes the time to listen and understand her customer's needs. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable, upfront, intelligent marketing company, who cares about the product it delivers.

Paula Baake, Owner, Dancing Mind Yoga

The work that you are doing on the illustrations and captions goes beyond mere excellence. Some of them are so well-planned and executed that they appear ready to become stand-alone, successful, free-standing posters... Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is so delightful when a project turns out even better than I could possibly imagine at the beginning.

Faced with a deadline to submit a logo for my law firm to an important sponsorship opportunity, I turned to Claire for help. Claire found the time to work with me on developing a logo for my law firm that matched our letterhead and projected the image we desired. She was easy to work with and came up with a host of different concepts to consider. We met the deadline and are extremely pleased with the final logo.

Eric Welter, Welter Law Firm

Claire has been an amazing associate for the past 10 years. Her work is creative, timely and always client-centered. She brings a great passion to her work and it shows. She is usually the first person I turn to when I am bringing a new client on board. I consider her an indispensible part of the Nautilus team.

Katherine Hutt, President & Owner, Nautilus Communications, Inc.

Claire is one of the best graphic designers I've met because, while she has wonderful graphics and design skills, she keeps the best interests of the customers in mind as she consults with them about their business needs. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Ron George, President, Minuteman Press of Arlington

C. Liston Communications does phenomenal work for our non-profit organization! Projects are completed on time and she goes above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied with the final product. Recently Claire put together a marketing email template for us in ten minutes. After it was sent out to our community I got several replies from clients and board members saying how great and professional it looked. It is a pleasure working with Claire!"

Claire Liston has created a logo and a web site for my new landscape design business. We met several times to discuss my vision—then she put together the collective ideas into a logo entirely ‘me’. I am thrilled, and I receive many compliments. The web site is artistic, well organized, and represents the variety of my design installations. My design clients tell me it is beautiful, which is just what I want to hear!

Judy Halesky, Owner, Landscape Inspirations

Working with Claire was a real pleasure. We met once to discuss format, look and feel then the next time we spoke (which was only a couple days later) she had results!!! I’ve never worked with a web designer as quick or competent as Claire. We formulated an idea together and within weeks it was up on the web for all to admire! Thanks Claire!

Tina Davidson, President, Architectural Design Photography

I wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for facilitating the whole VTRCC/Town shoot at the store for Channel 5/Fox News. Your kindness in helping to facilitate and cover all angles was so appreciated and it was just so you to be there and help us all. I wish you luck in your business; I don't see how with your attention to detail how you could do anything else but soar.

Sarah Jane Brady, The Freeman House

Claire and I worked on a creative marketing concept for my company and I was amazed by her creative quick thinking and to be able to deliver exactly (and more) that which she had promised. I have received many positive comments from my unique postcards and would encourage any company who is looking for fresh new ideas to contact Claire without delay!
