Massey Ferguson has worked with Cris for a long time, and she has become a trusted partner for our brand. Not only does she have a creative eye, she possesses valuable account management skills, which prove critical to executing successful projects. Everything she works on is managed on time and within budget, and to our brand standards. Massey Ferguson truly enjoys working with Cris both personally and professionally.
Cris' on-time, on-budget and on-point delivery of visually captivating work sets her apart from her peers. Having worked in a corporate environment early on she understands the importance of upholding rigorous brand standards, yet she consistently delivers fresh solutions that surprise and delight even the most demanding of clients. She is that rare person who truly becomes a collaborative partner so much so that you're not sure how you've done without her before now.
Cris has been working with us for over 2 years. Cris is an extremely valuable member of our team, and we see her as a team member more than someone at an agency.
She is extremely responsive and very cost effective. She thinks beyond the request and comes back with suggestions and recommendations that we often implement to make the project stronger.
Cris is a true talent! For the past several years, we've worked on many projects of varying scopes - usually with tight deadlines. Cris listens and then goes to work to deliver on-target design. The thing that continually amazes me is that her Corporate Communications experience always influences what Cris presents. She remains focused on delivering the intended message within brand guidelines. And she does all of this in a professional manner. It is a pleasure to work with Cris Townsend.
