Chris Petersburg, Sparrow IT


“One of ZimmerFish’s greatest strengths is project management. They provide a detailed estimate, track each tactic on a spreadsheet, and track the costs associated with each one of those tactics. It seems like simple stuff, but it’s amazing how many agencies fail to do something like that. They’ve helped us meet measurable goals with specific target outcomes.”

John Berg, Executive Director, Strategic Market Development, Sparrow Hospital

“What I like best about working with ZimmerFish is their people. They are easy to work with. They do a great job of asking the right questions.

Their biggest asset is that they take the time to understand what our goals are and develop a creative brief before we even get into the details of marketing strategy or tools. I have personally requested to work with them on service lines.”

Director, Weight Management, Sparrow


 

“ZimmerFish demonstrated a clear understanding of our needs. They developed messages based on research and strategies for both of our target groups.

When the campaign launched, feedback was immediate. We received hundreds of responses from all over the state and used those as leverage to recruit new agents. ZimmerFish then developed materials to bolster our recruiting efforts that tied directly to the campaign and reinforced our message.”
