In 2008, Livescribe introduced a new consumer electronics category with the launch of the Pulse smartpen. We knew that Pulse positively changed the lives of our owners, but needed a way to tell this story. Swirl showed the benefits of a smartpen through the eyes of our consumers, using a compelling, eye-catching pair of commercials that contributed to a 2X increase in awareness and sales over our launch year.

Swirl's experience enabled a rapid learning curve that provided us with game-changing/breakthrough integrated creative and media plans right from the start. A real value-add for a business under tremendous pressure to make things happen.

Swirl has struck the right balance between brand and response. They have crafted retail messages that "sell" and have allowed the Giants to achieve our revenue goals.

Although Cisco is fortunate to have many marketing agencies to partner with, we found it extremely difficult to find a company with the right balance of web savvy, agility, and the ability to scale. I was impressed at how quickly Swirl was able to internalize our requirements, understand our restrictions, and then deliver an actionable, measurable plan.

Swirl has a sixth sense towards understanding our business. The creative and account team always seem to be thinking about how we can stand out and provide a return, relentlessly challenging themselves to deliver. And on a horizon that is populated with agencies that claim this or that, Swirl actually does what they say they will do, on time, on budget, and with great creative and results.

Swirl created an innovative campaign for eBay Motors that addresses our business objectives, adds depth to our brand positioning, and celebrates the passion of our customers. The team at Swirl rolled up their sleeves to meet tight deadlines and cost-effectively produced work of the utmost quality. The Swirl team working on the campaign brought great insight, dedication, resourcefulness and creativity.

We have been extremely pleased with the creative concepts that have come out of the Swirl team. Their creative ideas are fresh, fun and compelling, yet not over-the-top. They are mindful of the fact we are a public agency that must remain within its conservative boundaries. While this may be difficult to do for some advertising agencies, Swirl has successfully achieved this balance through their understanding of who we are as an agency, and our role in Bay Area transportation.

The best thing about working with Swirl is their commitment to our business. The team was extremely responsive, accommodating, and willing to work in an ever-changing environment.
