“ “We contracted with Summit to run Google and Facebook ads for our “Henderson County Recycles” program, which included encouraging residents to purchase discounted composting bins. Sales were lackluster until Summit’s strategic digital ad campaign launched. Our bin sales jumped from 60 to 360! In fact, we sold completely out. If you want to see results, go with Summit.” ”

On a professional level, they have helped us develop a well-respected and highly-read Chamber publication, Leading Edge. Our projects with them continue and we look forward to future collaborations with their professional staff. They have always been timely and a joy to work with. ”

Their team also keeps us up to date with the new social media tools that save us money, and that is always a plus! It’s great to have a plan and stick to it.For several years, I have also worked with Marybeth and Chris on fundraisers and non-profits, and they are always generous with lending their business resources and expertise to make any project a great success. ”

“ What started out as a quest to have a creative firm build a website, became a lasting partnership built on successful outcomes. Chris and Marybeth Burns gathered our physicians together to understand what is at the heart of our 75 year-old family practice. What resulted was an Ask MAT branding campaign that was focused on communicating our practice feel through the customer’s eyes. Not only do we see new patients every week as a result of our marketing efforts, but our existing patients continually tell us how much they enjoy our informative ads. Now the website is just an extension of what has become a very targeted and focused comprehensive marketing initiative. ”

“ Since we started using Summit Marketing, we have felt like we really have someone watching out for us, suggesting ways to improve our business and get our name out into the community. Chris and Marybeth really have a feel for what we need and are also sensitive to our budget restraints as a small business. The ads they suggested for incontinence have generated a great deal of new patients for our practice. We continue to look to them for ways to improve the marketing for our office. ”

“ It has been my pleasure to work with Summit Marketing Group since the County founded our AgriBusiness Economic Development program. The team at Summit as been instrumental in helping us every step of the way for both AgHC and Southern Mountain Fresh, our official brand for locally-grown Henderson County farm-fresh products. In addition to helping us name the initiatives, they created the brands, websites, collateral, photography and the marketing plan and budget, and even oversee the execution of the marketing plan and social media.I have worked directly with most members of their team and find them to be extremely responsive while staying on-task and within budget on their projects. Although not always within the scope of our projects, I have always found Chris to be a valuable resource in bouncing strategic ideas for developmental prospects, having every confidence in his keeping sensitive information very confidential. I highly recommend the Summit team in your search for a marketing partner. ”

Mark Williams , Executive Director

“ Working with the Summit marketing team is just what our business needed. Being in business since 1995, our company relied on word of mouth and reputation marketing. Chris and the team took us to a new and more professional approach to expanding and growing our landscape & maintenance business. New logo, professional brochures geared to residential and commercial clientele, and direct mail has proved to be what we need in this down economy. Their ability to gear the marketing program to who we are as a company was fantastic. Their personal and guiding approach in developing our program was educational on my part, direct, timely and cost effective. Summit Marketing Group is a real gem to our business community. ”
