“Working with Czar has been pivotal to our organization becoming focused and strategic. Their bold ability to see our meaning in a competitive environment has elevated our company’s ability to create a complete brand that stands out against our competition.

Their creative approach to crafting our visual image style and language has showcased our uniqueness and has been a critical tool in connecting with our clients - with customized selling deliverables that further define and showcase our brand depth. This evolved due to Czar’s ability to see into our products and processes and highlight our strengths through powerful selling messages. To be honest, it has always been the best part of my job with tangible results and improved business relationship in our community.

Now as a true partner in our process who have fully vetted our brand, identity and style, they are our key to success. Czar is our ‘go to’ partner for product launches and annual initiatives that continue to strengthen our strategic selling process.”

“I had the pleasure to work with Joseph and his team advancing the Hispanic campaign for our master brand. The campaign was well integrated with General Market and customized appropriately in Spanish to cater to bilingual consumers and Spanish dominant speakers. Their multicultural expertise and strength to provide strong, culturally relevant creative work, was exactly what we needed to extend our campaign and our brand presence nationwide.”

“I was privileged to work with Joseph during my tenure as VP of Corporate Affairs at the Nielsen Company. Our public relations project was tasked to reach a large Hispanic audience in the Chicago area. Joseph and his team came up with a unique “Telenovela” concept and created an event with a performance at the National Museum of Mexican Art. The event included community influencers and media, and it cemented our commitment to reaching this key audience, thereby creating more visibility for our project.

We were awarded a Gold Anvil from the Public Relations Society of America for this ingenious approach and documented results.”

They patiently came in and listened to our concerns and needs; observed our restaurant from decor, products and service; and strategically created some ideas that would showcase our brand: campaigns, emails, promotions, design, collaborations.

Our followers, likes and engagement have increased 300% and we are enjoying our ROI from our social media. Czar has become the marketing asset we can’t do without.
